Italy and Germany’s censure of Spain’s migrant amnesty is ‘hypocritical’

The Irish Times reports that Italy and Germany, along with other European nations, have criticized Spain for granting amnesty to irregular migrants, yet these same countries have quietly legalized the status of migrants arriving in their own territories. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, a vocal critic of Spain's amnesty program, plans to issue work permits to a comparable number of migrants by 2028. Experts argue that Italy's approach is effectively a 'disguised amnesty,' allowing employers to hire undocumented migrants. Similarly, Germany and Greece have implemented smaller-scale amnesties alongside standard residency programs. Critics highlight the hypocrisy of these nations condemning Spain while pursuing similar policies.
