🇪🇸 The far-left Spanish prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, has stood firm on his government's decision to regularize up to 1.3 million illegal migrants.
"We are the children of migration in Spain; we will not be the parents of xenophobia," he said, also adding that he is "proud to be on the right side of history."
The decision by the Spanish government has led to widespread condemnation from the right wing, not just in Spain but across Europe, including calls to suspend the Schengen Area.
Once the 1.3 million illegal migrants in Spain have their stay regularized, they will be able to freely travel anywhere within the Schengen Area.
