Sumar proposes to the Government that nationality for the Sahrawi people be approved now by decree

Sumar, the junior partner in Spain's coalition government, has proposed that the government approve Spanish nationality for Sahrawis by decree. The initiative targets individuals born in Western Sahara prior to 1977 and their descendants.

The legislative process for granting this nationality had previously stalled. According to the provided reports, the measure fell through due to a general election call when it was only two weeks away from completing its parliamentary tramitation.
