Spanish PM says over 1 million migrants apply for mass regularization

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced that more than one million migrants have applied for Spain's mass regularization program, according to a report from Insider Paper.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said today that over one million migrants have applied for the country's mass regularization program, a broad amnesty initiative aimed at integrating undocumented residents. The announcement, reported by Insider Paper, does not include a timeline for processing or the final status of applications. The program has drawn debate in Spain, which has one of the highest immigration rates in the European Union. The Zioneer previously reported on political pressure on Sánchez over corruption allegations, though today's migration announcement is a separate policy development.
