stop the attempt at wrongdoing Six weeks before the general elections on November 29, Pedro Sánchez urged the Supreme Court (TS) on Sunday to “stop the attempt at wrongdoing” which he attributed to Alberto Núñez Feijóo and Santiago Abascal, and to allow the descendants of those who fled the Franco regime, who were nationalized under the so-called grandchildren's law, to vote in the upcoming general elections. #LeyDeNietos #DerechoAlVoto #Pucherazo (translated)

ESTER MUÑOZ stated that the PSOE's position on the matter was contrary to what, in her opinion, the law established. She asserted that the Supreme Court guaranteed that the descendants of exiles could vote, but prevented those who had not proven the requirements from doing so. She added that the court required guarantees regarding the legality of the electoral roll and maintained a precautionary measure while resolving the substance of the matter. Muñoz pointed out that being a descendant of Spaniards did not automatically grant the right to acquire nationality and that it was necessary to fulfill and prove the legal requirements. According to her, the 2022 law recognized that right only for those who proved the exile of their ancestors. #PSOE #NacionalidadEspañola #Exilio (translated)
Lupe Sánchez claimed that the PSOE had lied by lamenting that the grandchildren of exiles were prevented from voting and linking the issue to the Democratic Memory Law. She maintained that the measure came from an instruction signed by a high-ranking official close to Sánchez, not from the law, and that this instruction went beyond what the Cortes had accepted. She added that, according to her, descendants who had proven to be exiles would be able to vote. #PSOE #MemoriaHistórica #Democracia (translated)
Lupe Sánchez responded to Félix Bolaños that the descendants of exiles could vote and assured that he had read the ruling and was aware of it. He argued that the Supreme Court had not closed the door on them, but had prevented hundreds of thousands of people naturalized by the Government from voting without proving that condition. Sánchez added that Bolaños' falsehoods no longer deceived anyone. #Exiliados #Voto #Justicia (translated)
Lupe Sánchez dismissed as false the claim that the descendants of exiles from Franco's regime who proved their status could not vote.

Lupe Sánchez stated that the Government planned to appeal to the Constitutional Court the decision of the Supreme Court to maintain the precautionary measures on the application of the instruction of Sofía Puente, known as the grandchildren's law. He argued that, as a general rule, neither the central Government nor the regional governments were legitimized to file a petition for amparo, according to articles 53 and 162 of the Constitution and articles 41 and 46 of the Organic Law of the Constitutional Court. He added that the exception related to the right to effective judicial protection in article 24 would not apply in this case. Sánchez also pointed out that the Supreme Court had summoned hundreds of thousands of descendants of exiles who could be affected by the resolution, and said that would make it difficult for the Socialist Executive to resort to that avenue. He added that the Prosecutor's Office could indeed file a petition for amparo, although he described it as unusual, but stated that in this case it had not appealed the precautionary measures in reinstatement, so he considered that route closed. #Gobierno #TribunalConstitucional #DerechosHumanos (translated)
Lupe Sánchez stated that the Government of Spain and the regional governments, in general, lacked legitimacy to file a protection appeal, according to Articles 53 and 162 of the Constitution and Articles 41 and 46 of the LOTC. He added that the exception related to the violation of due process guarantees in Article 24 of the Constitution would not be applicable in the case of the Grandchildren's Law. He also pointed out that the Supreme Court had agreed to summon the alleged hundreds of thousands of descendants of exiles who might be affected by the decision. In his opinion, this further reduced the possibilities of manipulating the law for Pedro's benefit. #LeyDeNietos #DerechosHumanos #España (translated)
