După monumetale greșeli în istorie (inchiziția este una dintre ele), Spania caută să îndrepte relațiile cu comunitatea evreiască mondială. Soarta evreilor în Spania a fost atât de crudă că Luther i-a invitat de milă în Germania. Spera ca bunăvoința germană să-i convertească, dar, când și-a văzut speranțele înșelate, s-a pus și el cu bâta pe ei.
Spain’s lower parliament passes return bill for Sephardic Jews
Legislation expected to go into effect in Ma; Spanish government estimates that about 90,000 people of Sephardic heritage will apply for citizenship.
Legislation in Spain that would naturalize Sephardic Jews was approved by the country’s lower parliament.
The legislation, approved Wednesday, goes to the country’s Senate for a vote. It is expected to go into effect in May.
The draft bill was introduced in February 2014 by Justice Minister Alberto Ruiz-Gallardon, who told JTA at the time that it was meant to “repair a historical error” — a reference to the Spanish Inquisition that began in 1492. The Inquisition forced hundreds of thousands of Jews to flee the Iberian Peninsula or convert to Christianity in an attempt to escape religious persecution led by the Catholic Church and the Spanish royal house.
Under current Spanish legislation dating back to 1924, Jews may apply for citizenship if they reside in Spain for more than two years and can prove family ties to expelled Spaniards. Each request is evaluated individually and approved or rejected by a senior Interior Ministry official.
The new draft bill proposes to do away with the demand for residence and to make the application process automatic and not subject to the ministry’s discretion for candidates who meet all the criteria.
Spain’s Council of Ministers, the Spanish Cabinet, approved the draft law last June.

Planul aprobat de guvernul spaniol are ca scop redresarea a ceea ce guvernul numește o “greșeală istorică”, în trimiterea evreilor în exil începând din în 1492, forțarea lor să se convertească la catolicism și arderea lor pe rug în timpul Inchiziției.
