Municipalities to decide on registration depending on living conditions
The Spanish newspaper El País reports that the Spanish Government will propose a law allowing municipalities to refuse registration to people who live in houses which exceed a certain proportion of inhabitants per square meter. This follows the controversy which surrounded several Spanish towns' plans to refuse to register undocumented migrants. The government had previously condemned those plans, noting that in practice they will block healthcare for migrants.
