SPAIN IS CHARTING A UNIQUE PATH IN MIGRATION POLICY
As migration pressures mount across Europe, most EU countries, led by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, have been moving towards stricter border controls and increased deportations for asylum seekers Policies aimed to curb migration through tighter regulations and a tougher stance on unauthorised entries.
Spain, however, is taking a different approach Spanish President Mr Pedro Sánchez has emphasised that Spain's immigration policy should reflect values the country can take pride in, according to a report from La Tercera
This perspective is reflected in new legislative changes led by Elma Saiz, Spain's Minister of Inclusion, Social Security, and Migration, aimed at making the country’s immigration laws more flexible and supportive of integration. The recent amendments to Spain's Foreigners Law are a response to the rising numbers of migrants entering Spain, particularly those arriving via land and sea routes In 2023, the Spanish Interior Ministry reported that 56,852 migrants entered Spain irregularly.
Recognising the challenges posed by this influx, the Spanish government has viewed it as an opportunity to adapt its immigration policies. A new regulation being finalised by the Ministry of Migration is anticipated to simplify the process of obtaining residency and work permits for many immigrants who are already in Spain. If approved, this new legislation would make residency pathways more accessible
According to Schengen News, this new law is expected to be reviewed by Spain's Council of Ministers in mid-November One of its key provisions involves reducing the time required for immigrants to apply for legal residency. Currently, individuals must live in Spain continuously for three years regardless of their legal status before they can start the process Under the proposed regulation, however, this period could be shortened to two years Furthermore, language skills, such as proficiency in Spanish, will be considered as part of the application process
The draft of the new immigration regulation, accessed by Spanish newspaper El País, highlights additional measures to streamline the journey to legal residency and employment for immigrants. The primary beneficiaries would include international students, foreign workers, families, and asylum seekers who have faced rejections in recent years. The new regulation aims to support better integration by allowing those
who entered Spain irregularly to apply for residency and work permits sooner, after two years instead of thecurrentthree.
Another significant goal of the reform is to create a smoother transition from student visas to work permits.ThisapproachreflectsSpain'srecognitionof the economic potential that immigration brings, particularlyinareaswherelabourshortagesexist The intention is to make it easier for international students who complete their studies in Spain to transitionintotheworkforce,amovelikelytobenefit boththeeconomyandthestudentsthemselves
Earlier this month, Prime Minister Sánchez underscoredthisvisioninameetingoftheCongress of Deputies, where he argued that Spain faces a choicebetweenbeinganopen,prosperoussocietyor aclosed,stagnantone Sánchez’sstatementsreinforce his government’s intent to promote a more welcoming stance towards immigration, which he seesasessentialforSpain’sgrowthanddevelopment Byactivelyseekingtoeasepathwaystoresidencyand employment, Spain aims to attract newcomers who can contribute to the country’s social and economic fabric
In essence, Spain’s approach contrasts sharply with the stricter measures being adopted across much of the EU. With these proposed changes, Spain is striving to create a migration policy that is both pragmatic and humane, offering a model that values integration and inclusion as essential components of asustainableimmigrationstrategy.

Valencia’s Resilience in the Face of Dana: How Community and Government Responded to Unprecedented Flooding
The recent Depresión Aislada en Niveles Altos (DANA) that swept through Valencia has reminded us not only of the region’s vulnerability to extreme weather but also of the extraordinary resilience of its people Known for its erratic nature and intense rainfall, this year’s DANA brought floods that inundated streets, cut off access to essential services, and pushed our infrastructure to its limits. The damage was severe, but so too was the response, embodying a spirit now captured by the slogan that is becoming a rallying cry across Valencia and beyond: "El pueblo salva el pueblo" the people save the people
This phrase reflects how Valencians took matters into their own hands, often before official rescue efforts could arrive Social media lit up with stories of neighbours using boats and makeshift rafts to rescue stranded families, forming human chains to distribute supplies, and organising temporary shelters. Community leaders quickly mobilised volunteers, grassroots organisations set up donation points, and local businesses opened up spaces, resources, and assistance
Photo provided by El Pais.
Understanding DANA and Its Meteorological Impact
DANA events are increasingly common in the Mediterranean, driven by high-altitude cold air clashing with the region’s warm sea temperatures These interactions result in intense, isolated storms that unleash torrential rains within hours, sometimes minutes, over a relatively small area This year, Valencia recorded unprecedented rainfall levels, with some areas receiving their monthly average in just a few days, overwhelming drainage systems and flood defences
Scientists have pointed to climate change as a likely factor in the increased frequency and intensity of these storms Warmer seas mean more moisture in the air, fuelling stronger storms. Valencia, with its low-lying geography and ageing infrastructure, is particularly vulnerable, and while we’ve seen government investments in flood prevention, such as improved drainage networks and temporary flood barriers, this DANA proved that much more needs to be done
Government and Community Response
The official response from both local and national governments was relatively swift Authorities declared a state of emergency, deployed the military and rescue units, and set up temporary shelters National resources were directed to the hardest-hit areas, and emergency funds were released to aid both immediate rescue operations and longer-term relief efforts
How to Help: Volunteering and Donating
In times of crisis, community action and solidarity are essential, and for those who wish to help, here are some effective ways to get involved:
Join Local Volunteer Efforts: Many neighbourhoods have now organised emergency response teams, often using social media groups to coordinate Look for groups in your area that are involved in clean-up efforts, food distribution, or emotional support for displaced families The city council’s website and local community centres also list official volunteer opportunities
Donate to Grassroots Organisations: While government aid will address infrastructure repair and large-scale relief, grassroots organisations often focus on the most immediate needs of affected families, such as food, clothing, and temporary housing. Local charities, such as Cruz Roja Valencia, and smaller non-profits like Valencia Solidaria, are reliable recipients of both monetary and supply donations
Contribute to Disaster Preparedness Initiatives: The need for improved infrastructure and flood defences is clear, but so is the importance of disaster education and readiness. Organisations like Protección Civil are running initiatives to educate citizens on how to respond to extreme weather. Volunteering or supporting these programmes can help ensure that Valencia is better prepared for future DANAs
As we reflect on the effects of DANA, it’s clear that the people of Valencia have shown incredible strength and solidarity They have acted as first responders, caregivers, and advocates Moving forward, however, we must work together as citizens, local leaders, and government officials to build a Valencia that is not only responsive to emergencies but also resilient against the challenges of a changing climate. The phrase "El pueblo salva el pueblo" is a testament to what we can achieve together Let us make it our mission to ensure that, in future crises, we won’t have to rely on that spirit alone

You can enjoy it alone or with company from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM, from 1st December to 5th January.
The Estepona Christmas Market is located in Plaza Antonio Banderas, within the shopping area of El Corte Inglés.
