00:00No, Spain isn't handing out thousands of euros to newly regularized migrants.
00:09Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez will give Spain's regularized migrants 2,800 euros per month per family for two years until
00:18they find a job.
00:19That's according to an alleged front page of a Spanish newspaper known as El Diario de España,
00:24which has gone viral among Spanish-language social media users.
00:28It refers to Madrid's recent measure to grant an estimated 500,000 undocumented migrants' legal status
00:35by allowing them to apply for a renewable one-year residence permit,
00:38provided they can prove they've lived in Spain for at least five months.
00:42However, the front page and its claims are false.
00:45Simply put, the news outlet El Diario de España doesn't even exist, with no trace of it having a website.
00:51The supposed date of publication of the article is 24 May 2024,
00:55but that doesn't make any sense because the Spanish government only announced its regularization plan in January 2026.
01:02It features a picture of Sánchez standing behind a lectern,
01:06which says Inclusion and Social Cohesion Plan 2024-2026,
01:11but an online search yields no evidence of this plan existing either.
01:15The text of the royal decree establishing the regularization program does not refer to migrants receiving 2,800 euros.
01:22Madrid has denied that it will be handing out such a sum every month,
01:25reiterating that those benefiting from the measure will be able to reside and work in Spain legally.
01:30The regularization plan officially came into force in April
01:34and has been the subject of much controversy and misinformation.
01:37The Cube has already debunked instances of French politicians claiming that migrants regularized in Spain
01:44will be able to settle in France,
01:45alongside others falsely alleging that they'll be automatically granted the right to vote.
