Spain migrant regularization causes consulate chaos
Spain has launched an extraordinary immigrant regularization process, triggering massive queues of tens of thousands of undocumented migrants at consulates for countries like Morocco and Algeria. The law, passed by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, aims to grant amnesty and legal status to up to 800,000 illegal migrants. The sudden influx has overwhelmed consular services in cities like Almeria, where huge lines have formed as people seek to start the application process. This represents one of the largest migrant regularization drives in recent European history.
A new source provides a specific figure, stating PM Sanchez's policy could regularize up to 800,000 illegal migrants, and confirms the crowds are in the tens of thousands.
New visual evidence shows the scale of the crowds forming at consulates, specifically in Almeria, Spain, as the process begins.
