22 Nov 2024  |  inews.co.uk
Spain plans to grant legal status to nearly a million migrants over the next three years, diverging from the stricter migration policies of other European countries. The Spanish government argues that this approach will benefit the economy, given the country's low birth rate and aging population. The policy targets migrants who have resided in Spain for at least two years, excluding recent arrivals by boat. Spain's stance contrasts with the hardening attitudes towards migration in Europe, where many countries are tightening border controls. The European Commission is expected to follow suit under pressure from member states.
