127 million €

Some press on the funding whose beneficiaries I´ve been trying to find here in Madrid (see ONG thread). This article (which is being reprinted elsewhere) might give the wrong impression -- the terms listed here are simply to qualify for regularized status, and then the funding is going to municipalities according to how many immigrants they have (with non-Spanish speaking immigrants given more weight, which makes sense in terms of education but not in the context of Spain´s historical immigration policy, which has traditionally favored former colonies). It appears that France has joined Germany (and Holland) in openly criticizing the amnesties. I´d be obliged if anyone could send me info on this, I missed it.
