Restoring Identity, Ignoring History: Spain's Citizenship Bill for Western Saharans Spain's Parliament has voted in favor of granting citizenship to tens of thousands of Western Saharans born before 1977.
The bill, which now awaits Senate approval, would also grant Spanish nationality to their children through naturalization, even if they never resided in Spain.
The debate surrounding this legislation is complex and multifaceted. Some see it as a long overdue correction of colonial era injustices, while others question the timing and motives behind such an initiative.
