Ley 12/2015, de 24 de junio, en materia de concesion de la nacionalidad espanola a los sefardies originarios de Espana

Ley 12/2015, de 24 de junio, en materia de concesion de la nacionalidad espanola a los sefardies originarios de Espana, enacted by the Cortes Generales de Espana and published in the Boletin Oficial del Estado in 2015, is the Spanish parliament's own statutory text granting Spanish nationality to descendants of Sephardic Jews expelled from Spain in 1492, without requiring renunciation of an applicant's existing citizenship. Its strength is that it is the primary legal text itself, the correct source for what the law actually grants and under what conditions, rather than a summary or press account of it. Its limit is that a statute states its legal terms without addressing how the law was actually implemented and received, including the documented practical difficulties many applicants faced meeting its evidentiary requirements before the application window closed in 2019, which needs a separate source on the law's real-world administration.
