Cuestiones técnicas (y simbólicas) de la vecindad civil a la luz de la proposición de ley presentada por las Cortes de Aragón

In September 2016, the Parliament of Aragón presented a Legislative Proposal modifying the Spanish Civil Code in regard to personal status and regional citizenship. Basically, they sought to change three aspects of the attribution and acquisition of regional citizenship, the most significant being the one which suppresses the automatic acquisition of said citizenship when residing continuously in another territory for ten years. The hearings of the experts and the parliamentary debate generated by the Legislative Proposal put forward not onlly technical aspects, but also "symbolic" issues concerning regional citizenship.
