Summary: Principle of material equality, recognized by article 9.2 of Spanish Constitution, demands to Administration proactive politics in order to guarantee an effective exercise of fundamental rights. In the same way, the Spanish constitutional jurisprudence determines a general interpretation “pro exercise” of the fundamental rights, which has to inform whole administrative practise.

In this article we analyse those decisions that affect to Spanish residents abroad, to foreign residents in Spain and to people in social exclusion situation, with the aim of proposing alternatives to overcome this problem.
