IMMIGRATION IN SPAIN
Judges say Sánchez’s regularization violates the Immigration Law– neither two years of roots, nor proof of employment, nor passport: {Trans., summary}
– Judges warn that Pedro Sánchez’s mass regularisation of illegal immigrants, approved by decree without parliamentary validation, violates the Organic Law on Immigration. The pre-existing law requires two to three years of established residence, a valid passport, a clean criminal record and an employment contract. Sánchez asks for only five months and waives most other conditions. The Organic Law offers four legal routes – social, labour, training and family – each requiring two to three years of stay, with the family route depending on a qualified relative. Common to all are: no criminal record in Spain or elsewhere during the previous five years, non-EU nationality, limited time abroad and a valid passport.
– Critics say Sánchez has trampled all these requirements. Source, Spanish: https://www.libertaddigital.com/espana/politica/2026-04-23/la-regularizacion-de-sanchez-viola-la-ley-de-extranjeria-ni-dos-anos-de-arraigo-ni-prueba-laboral-ni-pasaporte-1b-7392650/
***********
The Government limits itself to giving “criteria for interpretation” of the regularisation despite the complaints of collapse by the workers: {Trans., summary}
– One week after Spain’s extraordinary immigrant regularisation began, offices are overwhelmed by demand. Social workers report collapse, crowds and system failures. Workers in Immigration, Social Security and Correos say they are ‘desperate’ without prior information or sufficient staff. The CSIF union denounces computer faults, staff shortages and platform Mercurio’s 15Mb document limit, plus total blackouts forcing some office closures.
– The Government insists the process proceeds normally, offering only ‘interpretation criteria’ and a technical guide clarifying vulnerability certificates. No immediate structural changes or reinforcements have been announced. Police reinforcements of 500 temporary staff will arrive only in late May or early June. Unions blame lack of foresight for a process meant to benefit over half a million undocumented immigrants, some after many prior rejections. Social organisations hope the overload reflects early nerves and will ease with time. Source, Spanish: https://www.20minutos.es/nacional/gobierno-se-limita…
HEALTH
In Spain, around 17,000 hospital medication errors are reported daily, “but this is normal” {Yikes”!}: {Trans., summary}
– Three cancer patients have died and two others have been harmed at Burgos University Hospital due to a human error in preparing a treatment. The hospital acknowledged the mistake, opened an investigation and accepted responsibility without blaming any individual staff member. A clinical pharmacology expert explains that chemotherapy drugs must be diluted correctly before intravenous administration. Using too little reduces effectiveness, while using too much can be toxic.
– In Spain, around 17,000 medication errors are reported daily. They claim most errors are harmless.
– Spanish hospitals have multiple safety systems, including electronic prescribing, pharmacy checks, nursing verification and confidential error reporting. Each hospital has a Patient Safety Commission that reviews every incorrect dosage claim to identify root causes and prevent recurrence, though it is unknown how many occurances go unnoticed as not having an immediate reaction.

Total clash between Health and the medical unions, which demand the resignation of Mónica García a few days before the third strike: {Trans., summary}
– The truce between doctors and Spain’s health ministry has ended. Unions have demanded the resignation of Minister Mónica García, whom they accuse of lying about negotiations concerning the doctors’ strike planned for 27-30 April. The Strike Committee claims the Government wrongly blamed unions for suspending a meeting with regional governments.
– The committee rejects the ministry’s proposal as legally unviable, insisting that any solution requires legislative reform to create a specific negotiating table and separate statute for doctors. It accuses the ministry of manipulation and shifting blame, demanding García’s resignation or immediate dismissal.
– The Government maintains its position, with García lamenting the strike committee’s blocking stance and rejection of mediators. She notes that 26 meetings have failed to produce agreement on issues such as working hours, on-call shifts, professional classification and retirement. García insists her commitment to dialogue remains intact and that the ministry will continue working towards de-escalation.

TECH
Computer prices will continue to rise into next year & beyond– Processors are facing shortages and price increases, Intel and AMD anticipate an increase of between 8 and 10%: {Trans., summary}
– Consumers should expect to pay 8 to 10 per cent more for computer processors later this year, with shortages of key components likely to continue until 2027. The reason is that manufacturers are prioritising supplies for artificial intelligence systems over everyday computing products. As a result, the processors that power personal computers have already become 5 to 10 per cent more expensive since March, and further rises are coming in the third quarter of this year. Server components, which drive online services and cloud computing, have increased even more, by 10 to 20 per cent.
– These higher costs have already begun to reach ordinary shoppers buying laptops and desktop computers. The situation affects both Intel and AMD, two of the biggest names in the industry. Production capacity cannot keep up with current demand, and the problem will not be solved quickly. Some analysts predict that only 60 per cent of demand will be met by the end of 2027, meaning higher prices could last for years.

SOCIAL MEDIA
Youtube has introduced ‘auto-dubbing’ foreign languages:
– See an example of a Spanish news program auto-dubbed into English at the link below.
“Sánchez sinks the PSOE in Andalusia: he separates Catalonia from Spain and speaks shamelessly of …”
During Wednesday’s parliamentary question time, Pedro Sánchez crossed another red line with the nonchalance of someone who has lost all shame. Responding to Junts spokesperson Miriam Nogueras, the Prime Minister stated without hesitation: “This government is going to make Catalonia and Spain better countries. Yes, better countries, Your Honor.” It wasn’t a slip of the tongue. He repeated it. He emphasized it. He effectively equated Catalonia and Spain as two distinct entities, two “countries” that his administration promises to improve separately. Video Link

Queen Letizia steals the show in her violet dress at the Cervantes Prize ceremony for Gonzalo Celorio: {Trans., summary}
– King Felipe and Queen Letizia presided this Thursday over the presentation of the 2025 Cervantes Prize to Mexican writer Gonzalo Celorio in the Paraninfo of the University of Alcalá de Henares. The solemn ceremony, rich in symbolism, reaffirmed the Crown’s commitment to Spanish culture and language.
