Summary
The Spanish government is preparing to approve a special regularization program for around 500,000 undocumented migrants, with a royal decree expected to be adopted on April 14 without requiring parliamentary approval. The measure aims to grant legal status by easing standard immigration requirements.

Key conditions include proof of presence in Spain before the end of 2025, at least five months of residence prior to application, and no serious criminal record. A wide range of documents—such as municipal registration, medical records, rental contracts, and financial transactions—can be used as evidence of stay.

Notably, applicants will not need a prior employment contract, breaking the cycle in which migrants cannot regularize their status without a job but cannot obtain a job without legal status.

Belfast knife attack disorder 'destabilising', says terror adviser(BBC)
Jonathan Hall KC, the UK's Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation, said it is legitimate to discuss the impact of migration on national security following the knife attack in Belfast allegedly carried out by a Sudanese refugee who entered the UK in 2023. Although Hall stressed that the attack itself does not appear to be a national security incident, he argued that the resulting unrest and racial tensions have had significant destabilizing effects on society.
