The Collapse of Schengen… Over 1 Million Illegal Migrants Apply for Spanish Citizenship
2nd July 2026
When the socialist-communist government of Pedro Sánchez first announced he was going to begin the mass legalization of migrants in his country, his government claimed this would amount to 500,000 people. Now, twice as many people are being legalized than first claimed, and importantly for the rdest of Europe, those migrants now have the right to freely move through the Schengen zone.
Due to his mass amnesty, The New York Times has now labeled Spain a “beacon of the global left.”
In April, the socialist-communist government in Madrid first issue the decree, giving illegal migrants three months to submit their application.
According to the New York Times, more than 1 million applications had already been submitted by illegal immigrants.
Vox party leader Santiago Abascal has accused Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez of taking the long-term move of naturalizing millions of foreigners to give himself and left-wing parties an electoral advantage in upcoming elections.
“Pedro Sánchez is willing to rob us of the next general elections by manipulating the census and handing out Spanish nationality,” wrote Abascal. “And it is necessary for us to mobilize to prevent him, after everything he has stolen, from also stealing the elections from us.”
