Spain's progressive coalition government approved a decree to regularize around 500,000 unauthorized immigrants. This legislation is seen as a significant milestone, providing social, political, and economic legitimacy. Eligible immigrants will receive residence and work permits, Social Security numbers, and public healthcare cards. The initial authorization lasts one year, after which individuals can transition to full integration. Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez emphasized the role of organizations and citizens in achieving this initiative, which requires applicants to be of legal age and have resided in Spain since before January 1, 2026.
