MADRID, Spain — Spain's government defended a plan to fight soaring unemployment by shutting the door on foreign workers, fending off criticism that the idea is mean-spirited and futile.
Deputy Prime Minister Maria Teresa Fernandez de la Vega said Friday the government had no choice but to respond to the needs of the labor market.
The Socialist government has been under fire from unions, immigrant advocacy groups and opposition parties since the labor minister announced this week the number of work visas granted abroad to people eager to take low-skill jobs in Spain "will get close to zero."
