  Offering a two-year visa to entrepreneurs investing €50,000 undermines the value of Spanish citizenship and imposes too low a threshold, potentially attracting investments that lack seriousness or long-term commitment to our country's economy.

  While the proposal to grant a two-year visa to entrepreneurs making significant investments in Spain has its merits, there are various aspects that require careful consideration. It is essential to balance the need for foreign investment with the protection of the local economy and job market. I believe we need a more comprehensive evaluation to understand the long-term implications of such a policy.

  This is a complex issue. On one hand, attracting entrepreneurs can stimulate economic growth and innovation, potentially creating jobs and enhancing Spain's competitive position globally. On the other, it's crucial to ensure that such policies don't inadvertently favor only those with access to capital, potentially excluding talented individuals who might lack immediate financial resources. Balancing these factors is key, and thus, I find it challenging to fully endorse or oppose the measure without further analysis.

  Offering a two-year visa to entrepreneurs for a mere €50,000 investment might seem attractive, but it undervalues the Spanish residency permit. We must attract serious investment that brings substantial economic growth and employment opportunities to Spain, not just minimal investment thresholds that could lead to speculative and unproductive business models. Our focus should be on quality, sustainable investments that align with Spain's broader economic goals and social welfare, not merely on the quantity of new companies.

  I believe Spain should prioritize supporting its nationals and small businesses before offering visas to foreign entrepreneurs. While investment is important, it's essential to ensure that such policies first and foremost benefit Spanish citizens and address their needs. Offering a two-year visa for a €50,000 investment might attract short-term capital but doesn't necessarily promote sustainable growth or support the Spanish people in the long run.
