Luis María Pardo stated that the Constitutional Court could begin examining the request from the Ombudsman to suspend the precautionary measures that Iustitia obtained from the Supreme Court on Monday. He wrote that there were six days left until the start of the electoral documentation shipping from CERA and that the Constitutional Court could annul those measures before November 29. Pardo traced the origin of the problem to an instruction from October 25, 2022, which, according to him, administratively expanded the avenues to obtain Spanish nationality without allowing for a distinction between those who acquired it due to their connection with exile. He also maintained that Sánchez won the 2023 elections with that instruction still in effect and that the PP and Vox did not take the matter to the Central Electoral Board. He added that Iustitia presented the case to the Board on June 28, 2026, and then went to the Supreme Court, which enacted the precautionary measures. According to Pardo, the Ombudsman urgently requested the Constitutional Court to suspend them, while Iustitia appeared to request that they be maintained and that the CERA regime not be modified without hearing from them. He stated that Iustitia Europa would take the matter to the very end. #LeyDeNietos #TribunalConstitucional #Justicia (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)

Estefanía Molina stated that the Supreme Court did not prevent voting for those who had demonstrated exile for political reasons and had the required consular certification. She questioned that an instruction expanded that possibility to almost any case and that people who had never lived in Spain could participate in the elections, even though their impact was reduced. 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)

Jeanne Robles, affected by the suspension of the right to vote for those who obtained Spanish nationality under the grandchildren's law, is preparing to go to the Supreme Court to fight for her right to participate in the general elections, despite the economic and logistical difficulties she faces. #DerechoAlVoto #LeyDeNietos #Exilio (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)
