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)

Alejandro Alvarez stated that a law passed assigned funds outside of the Financial Administration Law and that, therefore, Article 5 of the Budget Execution Law 24.629 should be applied. He explained that this regulation establishes that laws authorizing expenditures must expressly indicate how they will be financed; otherwise, their execution remains suspended until the allocations are incorporated into the national budget. He also noted that the regulation requires budgetary backing for certain contracts and provides for asset liability for officials who authorize acts or contracts contrary to Law 24.156. Alvarez asserted that, in his opinion, this was how the Republic was protected: by studying and complying with all laws. #Ley #Presupuesto #Gobierno (translated)

Marats Kasems wrote that Beness Aijo had participated in a communist protest in front of the Russian presidential administration building a few days ago, where objections were raised against this year's State Duma election violations. Kasems claimed that Aijo had spoken about the difficulties faced by observers in entering polling stations and accused the Russian authorities and the head of the Central Election Commission, Ella Pamfilova, of stealing elections in Moscow. According to Kasems, Aijo had called the Russian government de jure illegitimate, criticized it for dismantling the socialist state, and claimed that the elections were stolen from the communists. Kasems also wrote that FSB officers had attempted to issue Aijo a decision to initiate administrative proceedings regarding discrediting the army, but Aijo refused to accept it. He reportedly explained that he had once defended the so-called "DTR" and therefore could not discredit the army. Kasems pointed out that he had previously warned Aijo about possible problems with Russian security services. He expressed satisfaction that Aijo's actions were now causing headaches for the Kremlin, rather than Latvia. In conclusion, Kasems asked whether a criminal case would be initiated against Aijo or if he might die from falling out of an eighth-floor window. #benessAijo #komunisti #kremlis #orki #fsb #benessAijo #komunisti #kremlis (translated)
