Spain's Supreme Court rejects far-right bid to block immigrant regularisation decree

Thursday, 16 April 2026, 14:09 · 1 min read

Spain's Supreme Court has refused an emergency request to suspend a government decree that would allow up to 500,000 undocumented migrants to gain legal status, pay taxes, and access rights and obligations. The court's administrative chamber ruled that the criteria for urgent suspension were not met, and ordered the challenge by the Asociación por la Reconciliación y la Verdad Histórica (a far-right group with a history of opposing government measures) to be processed through standard legal channels, giving parties ten days to submit their positions. The decree, approved by cabinet last Tuesday and open for applications as of Thursday, marks a significant step in Spain's effort to integrate long-term irregular migrants into the formal economy.
