The plan approved Tuesday by Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's leftist government could regularise around 500,000 undocumented workers, in a break with harsher policies seen elsewhere in Europe. Musk posted a link on X - which he owns - to a post by notorious far-right influencer Ian Miles Cheong who called the plan "electoral engineering" along with the comment "Wow".
After losing his left arm in a farming accident, Joel Caceda struggles to work delivering packages. His tough job is typical of many that migrants are forced to take when they arrive in Spain without any legal papers. So, the 30-year-old Peruvian welcomed the news that Spain plans to regularise about 500,000 undocumented migrants, in a break with harsh policies on immigration elsewhere in Europe, in countries like Denmark, Germany and Austria, and in the United States.
Migration Minister Elma Saiz said the measure would apply to people who had been in Spain for at least five months as of December 31, 2025, provided they could also prove they had no criminal record. Applications are set to open in April and run until June 30, allowing beneficiaries to work in any sector and anywhere in the country. They would apply for a one-year renewable residency permit, or five years for children.
The far right's success in last month's regional elections in Extremadura, Spain, was inevitable. After a series of corruption and sexual harassment allegations surrounding Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's socialist government since the summer, everyone in Spain knew he would never pull off a victory. Although the southwestern region has historically been a stronghold of Sanchez's Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE), it has been in the hands of the conservative People's Party (PP) and the far-right Vox party since 2023.
Since making his senior debut in 2008, Pedro has assembled the kind of career and medal collection that few could even dream of. After breaking into Pep Guardiola's iconic Barcelona side, the forward soon became a regular for the Spain national side and was part of the squad that won the World Cup in 2010. He remains one of the few players from that tournament in South Africa to still be playing at the top level,
Tis the season to occupy oneself in eating and drinking like there's no tomorrow, in the wonderful warmth of friends and family, remembering those who are no longer with us and locking eyes as we toast to the river of time and the year to come. Some will go to Mass, many to buy presents, and almost none of us will think for even a moment of that unknown land between this world and the next.
We're talking about 2 million people who will be paying less each month to get to work, to get home or to do their day-to-day stuff, he said. That's what governing is about: making the important things easier for ordinary people.
Travel patterns from Germany's main airports during the summer flight schedule (April to October 2025) reveal a number of trends among holidaymakers. While the total number of air travellers has not completely rebounded since the Covid pandemic, data released by the Germany's statistics office (Destatis) highlights shifts across domestic, short-haul and long-haul journeys. In total, 68.5 million passengers departed Germany for destinations abroad during the summer, marking a rise of 4.6 percent compared to the previous year.
Police in Spain have arrested three people on suspicion of belonging to the Base, a global neo-Nazi terrorist group that incites and trains members in techniques to overthrow governments and bring about a race war. The group, which has been designated a terrorist organisation by the EU, the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, is part of a worldwide accelerationist white power movement that prepares its cells to carry out violent and destabilising attacks.
Social class permeates all aspects of life, and love is no exception. In Spain, for instance, couples don't form randomly; rather, they're typically determined by socioeconomic factors. This means that people tend to partner with those most similar to themselves in terms of income and wealth. And, at the top of the social ladder, this tendency intensifies. Those who earn and have the most assets find each other with a frequency three times greater than would occur in a society where relationships were completely random.
Mikel Oyarzabal scored twice as Spain maintained their perfect form in World Cup qualifying with a 4-0 win in Georgia on Saturday as it closed in on a berth at next year's showpiece tournament. Luis de la Fuente's side has scored 19 times while conceding zero goals in five group victories. The European champions are poised to wrap up a spot in the finals when they meets Turkey on Tuesday in their last qualifier.
Spain are all but certain to qualify for the 2026 World Cup after thrashing Georgia 4-0, despite the absence of Lamine Yamal following the Barcelona star's groin surgery. La Roja's 100 percent record in Group E was never in doubt as they swept aside their hosts in Tbilisi, with a double from Mikel Oyarzabal and goals from Martin Zubimendi and Ferran Torres securing an emphatic victory.
On Sunday, October 26, clocks will again "fall back" one hour, ending Central European Summer Time (CEST), after having "sprung forward" an hour in March. What is daylight savings time (DST) and why is it used? Around 35% of countries currently adhere to the daylight savings time system, which was first instituted on a national level in 1916 in the German and the Austro-Hungarian Empires. DST saw broad international implementation in the 1970s as a means of saving energy after the oil crisis.
Spain is joining the joint purchases of U.S. military equipment by NATO countries for shipment to Ukraine. The decision was confirmed by Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez upon arriving at the meeting of the European Council this Thursday in Brussels. This is a proposal that NATO launched a few weeks ago. I had the opportunity to speak with President Zelenskiy [] and I informed him that we were going to join this program, the Spanish leader stated in response to questions from the media.
For decades, travelers have been told one simple rule: never bother opening a foreign bank account unless you're moving there. But in 2025, that advice is officially outdated - especially if you're heading to Spain. A surprising loophole in Spanish banking lets non-residents (that's you, the tourist or digital nomad) open a fully functional account, access better exchange rates, avoid foreign transaction fees, and even pay less for hotels, car rentals, and local experiences.
about Digital nomadism , while it's undoubtedly exploded since 2020, has actually existed as a concept since back in the 1990s. Though there's some speculation whether the 'work from anywhere' dream is really the idyllic new life lots of us thought, it's still an increasingly popular lifestyle choice and, in 2025, it's going nowhere.
The foundation said that when the van arrived at 10am that day, its contents were unloaded and checked. Despite the fact that some of the carefully packaged works were not correctly numbered, making an exhaustive check impossible, the delivery was signed off and the van and its crew went on their way. The following Monday, the pieces, which had been under video surveillance all weekend, were unpacked.
