  • Spain is set to regularize over a million undocumented migrants, aiming to bring them out of invisibility.
  • The move comes as political maneuvering continues, with Juan Manuel Moreno facing his third investiture vote without a deal with Vox.
  • Legal proceedings are ongoing in the 'Kitchen' case and the 'Leire Dรญez' case, with the president of SEPI now implicated.

Spain is preparing to regularize the status of over a million undocumented migrants, a move that Minister of Economy, Trade and Business Carlos Cuerpo stated would "allow us to bring more than a million people out of invisibility." This significant policy shift aims to integrate a large segment of the population into the formal economy and society.

The political landscape remains dynamic, with Juan Manuel Moreno facing his third investiture vote. The outcome is uncertain, as he has not yet reached a finalized agreement with the far-right Vox party, highlighting ongoing negotiations and potential coalition challenges.

Meanwhile, legal proceedings continue to unfold. The 'Kitchen' case is progressing through its final stages, while the 'Leire Dรญez' case advances with the imputation of the president of the State Industrial Participation Company (SEPI). These legal battles underscore the complex political and judicial environment in Spain.

We will have the possibility of bringing more than a million people out of invisibility.
