>>The Spanish government's offer of the "right of return" to the descendants of Jews expelled in 1492 is a "bit late, but nevertheless worthy of praise", says Rabbi Pinchas Godlschmidt, the president of the Conference of European Rabbis. The Rabbi was responding to Spain's new law -- approved by the cabinet on Feb. 7th -- granting citizenship to all those who can prove their Sephardic origin. The law amends a previous version announced in 2012, which granted citizenship only to qualified Sephardic Jews and did not allow them to retain other citizenship. The old law also did not extend to the descendants of those coerced to convert to Catholicism, known as Marranos (swine in Spanish).<<
I doubt they want citizenship in Spain and give up what they have now. Too long after the fact, especially for Israelis. Spain does not allow dual citizenship.
