The Spanish government, led by ministers Elma Saiz, Félix Bolaños, and Óscar Puente, announced today the approval of an extraordinary regularisation of migrants already residing in Spain, alongside a package of support measures for the transport sector. The announcements were made during a press conference following the Council of Ministers meeting on 14 April 2026.
Minister of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration, Elma Saiz, highlighted that Spain is an example for its commitment to renewable energies and announced the extraordinary regularisation of migrants. She stated that each murder is a collective failure, referring to the need for comprehensive migration policies. This regularisation aims to integrate migrants who are already in the country, addressing both humanitarian and economic needs.
Minister of the Presidency, Justice and Relations with the Courts, Félix Bolaños, discussed the importance of digital evidence in judicial proceedings. He noted that judges, prosecutors, and police can request the preservation or delivery of evidence, and measures are being taken to avoid incriminating conduct against journalists and activists. He also addressed the recognition and reparation of victims of sexual abuse in the Church.
Minister of Transport and Sustainable Mobility, Óscar Puente, outlined three axes of action: support for road freight transport, specific measures for rail freight transport, and extension of aid to maritime transport. He emphasised that the reinforcement of support measures responds to an extraordinary situation.
