Concòrdia Demands Data on Surge in Andorra's Irregular Family Reunifications

The opposition party Concòrdia has demanded detailed government data on a significant rise in irregular family reunification cases in Andorra, calling for a balanced, long-term migration strategy.

Núria Segués, deputy president of Concòrdia's parliamentary group, submitted a request for information covering all files opened since 2021 on suspected irregular family reunifications. The query includes opening dates, reasons for starting proceedings, the number of affected family units with underage children, and the total number of minors involved. For resolved cases, it seeks details on administrative measures applied and the number of people who lost residence permits as a result.

Particular focus falls on the 68 files opened so far in 2026, with Segués requesting their processing status, the total number of people affected (specifying any minors), and the employment status of the main applicants.

Concòrdia links the surge to tougher economic requirements for family reunification, further intensified by recent immigration changes in the Sustainable Growth and Housing Rights Act—also known as the Omnibus Law. While recognizing the government's efforts to draw in workers, the party stresses that retaining talent demands stability for families to build lives in Andorra. It pushes for an approach that safeguards families, especially those with children, upholds the law, provides legal certainty, and averts fallout from regulatory updates.

The party calls for tackling irregular reunifications and expulsions through a comprehensive medium- to long-term plan, rather than short-term fixes. No government response to the request has been made public.
