Spain moves to grant legal residency to half a million undocumented migrants

Spain’s government has announced a landmark decision to grant legal residency to approximately 500,000 undocumented migrants, aiming to formally integrate this population into the workforce and address demographic and economic pressures. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, framing the move as an act of social justice as well as an economic necessity, emphasized the vital role migrants play in sustaining the nation’s economy and public services, particularly in light of an ageing population.
