Mateo Salcedo

Mateo Salcedo is a 28-year-old Colombian who moved to Madrid with his partner and their chihuahua, Andy. He faced significant challenges in securing legal residency due to the complexities of the empadronamiento process, which is a registration system for residents in Spain. Salcedo resorted to contacting illegal services via social media to obtain his empadronamiento, reflecting the struggles many immigrants face in navigating bureaucratic hurdles in their new country.
