Spain PM defends mass migrant regularization

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has publicly defended his government's controversial decision to regularize the status of up to 1.3 million undocumented migrants. In a statement, Sánchez said, 'We are the children of migration in Spain; we will not be the parents of xenophobia,' and expressed pride in the policy. The move represents one of Europe's largest mass regularizations and is a key initiative of Spain's left-wing coalition government. The policy has drawn both domestic criticism and international attention amid broader debates on migration in the EU.
