The Spanish government will provide one-year residency and work permits to 25,000 foreigners affected by catastrophic floods in October. This measure aims to assist those left homeless, particularly in the Valencia region, as part of a recovery effort following the disaster that killed 227 people. The permits are granted under 'unexpected exceptional circumstances' and will help immigrants who struggle with legal requirements. Additionally, foreigners who lost relatives in the floods will receive five years of residency. Despite tightening migration policies in Europe, Spain is recognizing the contributions of migrant workers to its economy. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
