Spain considers Saharaui citizenship progress
The Spanish Congress's vote in favor of a law granting, on an exceptional basis, Spanish citizenship to Sahrawis born in the Sahara before September 29, 1977, and their descendants, raises questions about its implications, especially for the Polisario Front and separatists in Tindouf camps. The Spanish government considers the law humanitarian and aims to expose what it describes as the "big lie" that more than two-thirds of the camp inhabitants are disconnected from the region. However, experts see it as a step to bolster Spanish influence and serve political interests, potentially leading to demographic and political changes, with thousands of Sahrawis benefiting from expanded rights and mobility within the European Union. Reactions vary between cautious acceptance and welcome, with interpretations suggesting the exploitation of colonial legacy in the ongoing dispute.
