Now the UK is a third country as a result of Brexit, Britons wishing to work in Spain have found it increasingly difficult and the opposition Partido Popular, should it win the general election a week on Sunday, is proposing the introduction of a points entry system similar to that in force in Australia and the allegedly the United Kingdom.

This is good news even if it doesn't apply to those Brits already living and working in Spain. What it does seem to mean, though is that there may not be any more barring of British people working in state employment as has been in my case. I've been a teacher in Spain for many years and I am extremely fed up with the treatment I'm being given by the socialist government and educational authorities in Mallorca who not only illegally banned me from the teacher list back in 2021, but continue discriminating against me in all possible ways once I managed to get my job backn a year later. Not allowing British people to continue to live and work asin the same conditions they did before Brexit is against the law, but it seems to me that the Mallorcan government couldn't care less. Meanwhile my career is jeopardized and I will soon be another person lining up for unemployment. Thank you very much indeed Balearic ministry of education!!!
Lost for words, are we Morgan ?
I love irony ❤.
“We will speed up the validation of foreign qualifications and eliminate the nationality requirement for access to statutory personnel for reasons of general interest,” Which means instead of taking four years they will do it in three, except in Cataluña, the Basque Country and Galicia where the local government will do as they please, especially where the local language is concerned. And those wishing to become self employed will say thanks, but no thanks after they realize the amount of burocracy involved just to get started and then the extortionate monthly social charges and punitive income taxes charged, not to mention VAT.
