Spain Approves Massive Migrant Amnesty

Spain has become a notable outlier in Europe by approving a mass regularization plan for migrants currently living in the country without authorization.

The program has been met with cheers from the Bangladeshi and other immigrant communities in Barcelona, who see it as a path to integration and stable employment.

However, the decision has also triggered threats of strike action from some immigration offices and criticism from right-wing parties across the continent.

The amnesty is intended to address severe labor shortages in key sectors and bolster the national social security system.
