Congress initiates the recovery of nationality for Sahrawis with the abstention of PP and Junts and the rejection of Vox
Government partners value the PSOE's turnaround as "historic" in the midst of the Ceuta crisis and with Morocco.
This Thursday, the Spanish Congress allowed a brief respite from its customary confrontation atmosphere, granting a debate that featured emotional gestures, handkerchiefs, and even tears, marking the start of the process to enable the nationalization of tens of thousands of Sahrawis born in the territory as a Spanish colony, 50 years after losing it.
Most speakers agreed that it was "a historic day" that "remedies an injustice" and a "abandonment." Even the PP and Junts abstained, while Vox, the ultra-right party, rejected the initiative once again, considering it an act of "bestowing Spanish nationality" upon its citizens. The government's allies, including Sumar, reminded the PSOE of its past moves on this issue and suspected a shift in favor, suspecting their willingness to allow it now amid the Ceuta crisis and fear of Moroccan reaction.
