Spain's immigrant regularization process closes with nearly one million applications, doubling initial forecasts
By
Elena Omedes
Summary
Spain's extraordinary regularization process for immigrants concludes after two and a half months with nearly one million applications received — double the initial projections. The process, the seventh such regularization since 1985, faced organizational chaos and lack of information at the start. Some autonomous communities have denounced the absence of specific funding to handle the population increase resulting from this measure. The final figure will likely be lower once duplicates and ineligible applications are removed, but the high number demonstrates that the need was far greater than anticipated.
