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)

Ultimora.net reported that the new Highway Code, approved by the Council of Ministers and set to come into force on January 1, 2028, will introduce stricter rules for pedestrians. According to the site, before crossing at crosswalks, they should check that drivers have seen them and are ready to stop; they should not change direction abruptly or dash while crossing. The site also listed other prohibitions: crossing intersections diagonally, weaving between parked cars, crossing outside the crosswalks at roundabouts or in front of stopped buses and trams, popping out suddenly and crossing near curves and bumps outside built-up areas. On unlit roads outside of built-up areas, at night it would be necessary to make oneself visible with lights or reflective devices. In the absence of crosswalks, underpasses, or overpasses, or if the crosswalks were at least 100 meters away, pedestrians should give way to vehicles and cross perpendicularly. In the absence of sidewalks, they should walk against the direction of traffic, while using skates and boards on sidewalks would be prohibited. Ultimora.net added that the penalty for using a phone while crossing would be eliminated and that violations could result in fines of 25 to 160 euros. #CodicedellaStrada #SicurezzaStradale #Pedoni (translated)

Ultimora.net reported that Donald Trump had suspended several sanctions and tariffs stipulated by the Lindsey Graham Act against Russia and countries that purchased Russian energy or helped Moscow evade sanctions with an executive order.

The exemptions would remain in effect until a new decision, Ultimora.net added. #Trump #Russia #Sanzioni (translated)

The risks of having a discontinuity in European funding on January 1, 2028, can be quite significant if no agreement is reached on the new Multiannual Financial Framework by the end of the current year, so that the implementation legislation can be adopted in 2027 and the technical preparations for the entry into force of the new funding can be completed. Presidential advisor Valentin Naumescu warned that tough and complicated negotiations will follow within the European Union. #bugetUE #subvenții #agricultură (translated)

"As for the entry into force, in the last changes to the license, the PS governments always ensured the situation of people who are already enjoying licenses."

"We will never accept that a child is harmed because they were born a few hours earlier, thus, we will not remain silent. The question is clear: they want to ignore those who are already caring for their babies on January 1st. One child is worth no more than another," said Felicidade Vital, a deputy from Chega, referring to the proposal put forward by her party before the voting, which aimed to include a transitional provision in the decree-law that defines and regulates parental protection so that the extension of the initial parental leave would apply to the leaves that had already started by the date when this law comes into effect, set for January 1, 2027. #LicençaParental #Trabalho #DireitosDasCrianças (translated)
