Galician emigrants' children
Recognition
Galician emigrants' children have the same consideration and rights than Galician residents' children as it is defined in:
Statute of Galicia (art. 3.2)
As Galician, those Spanish citizens resident abroad that had had their last administrative neighborhood in Galicia and prove this condition in the corresponding Spanish Consulate enjoy political rights defined in this Statute. Their descendants registered as Spanish will also enjoy these rights, if they request it as it is stated by the State law
