THIS is about a serious problem faced by thousands of Pakistanis residing in Spain, i.e. procuring ‘character certificates’ that Spanish immigration officials demand.For work permission and acquiring a residence permit, there should be a valid police character certificate attested by the related country’s police.Previously, Pakistan used to have district and provincial police besides the national police. But now the Spanish government passed a new law that every Pakistani should submit a character certificate attested by the national police — not the district or provincial police — with other necessary documents.Therefore, all work and residence applications of the Pakistanis, who have spent three years is Spain, are rejected. For the last six months the government of Spain has forwarded these conditions to the Pakistani embassy in Madrid and the Pakistan consulate-general in Barcelona. But here in Spain the designated Pakistani ambassador and the consul general are not serious about this important matter.Many Pakistanis protested peacefully in front of the Pakistan consulate-general in Barcelona to highlight their problems but received no response from the officials concerned
