Spain’s opposition accuses Sánchez of electoral engineering after migrant legalization drive

Spain’s opposition leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo accused Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez of using a migrant legalization drive to expand his voter base, citing 1.3 million new legal residents and a 2022 law granting citizenship to descendants of Spaniards. The government dismissed the claims as 'profoundly irresponsible,' clarifying that legalization grants residency, not voting rights. The far-right Vox party criticized the policy as 'silent electoral fraud' and called for legislative reviews.
