The Spanish government has announced plans to grant residency and work permits to up to 25,000 immigrants affected by the devastating floods in Valencia. This initiative aims to provide legal status to undocumented migrants who have been living in the region, allowing them to work legally and access social services. The decision comes in response to the severe impact of the floods, which have left many in need of immediate assistance. The move is part of a broader effort to integrate immigrants into Spanish society, recognizing their contributions, especially in times of crisis. This policy not only aids in the recovery efforts but also addresses the humanitarian needs of those who have been living in the shadows due to their undocumented status.
