Spain approves Moroccan Sahrawi Citizenship Law
Reports indicate that a bill granting Spanish citizenship to Sahrawis born during Spain's colonial period in Western Sahara is nearing final legislative approval. The House of Representatives' Justice Committee has approved the bill with a majority, and it is expected to become law by early October, benefiting approximately 80,000 people. The law is based on the "citizenship letter" mechanism, which allows individuals to acquire nationality under exceptional circumstances without the need for long-term residence. It requires that individuals be born before August 11, 1977, and provides an opportunity for their children to choose citizenship after five years of obtaining it. This initiative comes amid extensive political and legal discussions and is considered the first of its kind to establish a special legal framework for naturalization, drawing significant interest within Spanish political and human rights circles.
