These are the answers of some Facebook group members:
”No. But you’ll have to swear an oath, so if you don’t speak Spanish, you may need an interpreter”
”The oath is in Spanish but for those who can not speak Spanish can read it just slower than Spanish speaking people it shouldn’t be a problem or anything to worry about as long as you can read”
Conclusion
In conclusion, according to Spainguru Facebook group members, no, speaking Spanish isn’t required for Spanish citizenship under the Democratic Memory Law. Although the oath is in Spanish, applicants can use interpreters or read it at a slower pace if they don’t speak the language.
