️🇪🇸 The Supreme Court in Spain rejects the suspension of voting for the descendants of those included in the "Ley the Nietos" census.

The Supreme Court rejected the request to temporarily suspend the right to vote for the descendants of those who received citizenship under the controversial Democratic Remembrance Law, commonly known as the "Grandchildren Law".

The Administrative Bureau therefore refuses to stop their registration in the Electoral Census of Absent Residents (CERA), while preserving the voting rights of thousands of new citizens living abroad until a final ruling on the merits of the appeal.

The court's decision comes amid an ongoing debate about the impact these massive passport grants have on the country's political and electoral balance. Various organizations and opposition sectors have repeatedly condemned that the law passed by the government of Pedro Sánchez actually works as a tool for electoral engineering, allowing the explicit naturalization in Latin American countries of people without a real connection or tax contribution in Spain, whose votes may ultimately change the distribution of seats in key districts.
