The recent suspension of the voting rights by the Supreme Court for grandchildren who acquired Spanish nationality through the Law of Democratic Memory has generated indignation and concern among 163,020 affected individuals, who see it as unlikely to regain their rights before the elections on November 29. #VotoExterior #LeyDeNietos #DerechosCiviles (translated)

María Jamardo stated that any Spanish citizen, group, civil society entity, or political party could approach the Ombudsman to ask for the defense of their interests as voters and their right to participate in the elections on November 29 with a reliable electoral roll, comprised only of those who should be listed on it. She asserted that if Ángel Gabilondo acted at the request of 180,000 presumably affected individuals, he would be even more justified in doing so on behalf of the 36,000,000 who, according to her, could be affected if measures were not taken. She also questioned whether the Ombudsman was defending Sánchez and the party for which he ran as head of the list in the 2021 Madrid regional elections. #DefensorDelPueblo #DerechosCiviles #ParticipaciónCiudadana (translated)

The article criticizes Pedro Sánchez for undermining the rights of the grandchildren of exiles by implementing legislation that, instead of guaranteeing their right to vote, dilutes it by allowing any descendant of those who left Spain between 1936 and 1955, regardless of the reasons, to access those rights. #MemoriaHistórica #DerechosCiviles #PedroSánchez (translated)

She also noted that other countries required additional requirements to vote from abroad, even for national citizens, and mentioned Borrell's statements about Germany. Molina made these statements yesterday on Mediodía RNE, alongside Freecanusa. #VotoExterior #DerechosCiviles #Elecciones2023 (translated)
