Demo against the Foreigners' Law

The Platform for Living Together, comprised of the Association of Immigrants, various NGOs, unions and political parties, amongst others, has called for a demo-party against the Law of Foreigners.

With the slogan, "Against the Law of Foreigners, For the Human Rights. Papers for everyone, no-one is illegal", the demo will take place in Palma next March 25 at 12 noon, going from the Plaça d'Espanya and ending at Ses Voltes.

Meanwhile, the federal committee of the PSOE announced yesterday that it would lodge an appeal due to unconstitutionality against four precepts of the Law for Foreigners. It also announced the presentation of a proposition law to the Parliament, with a view to debating this topic again. The Autonomous Communities of Extremadura, Aragón, Castilla-La Mancha, Balears and Andalucía, all governed by PSOE, have also decided to lodge appeals for unconstitutionality against the Law.
