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
Statutes of the USC (art. 2.2)
Due to the existence of a natural and linguistic community, beyond the limits of the current Galician Autonomous Region, the University of Santiago de Compostela will acknowledge for the Galician emigrants and their children the same rights as for the Galician residents, in the terms included in the art. 3.2 of the Galician Autonomous Region Statute.
