Emmanuel Rincón described Jorge Rodríguez's removal from the sanctions list as "natural," attributing it to his notable cooperation with U.S. authorities. He said that there was still a long way to go before discussing a transition in Venezuela and questioned the timing of the decision. He also asserted that several Chavistas were seeking impunity by collaborating with that process and handing over other individuals whom he described as criminals, a practice that he claimed was not atypical in the U.S. justice system. Rincón stated that he would accept Rodríguez and others ending up in exile and unpunished if it allowed for the recovery of the country, freedom, and democracy. He added that the goal for Venezuelans should be to call presidential elections in 2027 and finalize the transition. #Venezuela #Transición #Democracia (translated)

The Government considers it impossible to comply with the Supreme Court ruling that requires manually reviewing 80,000 records of the grandchildren's law, which could result in the loss of voting rights for many descendants of exiles. #LeyDeNietos #TribunalSupremo #NacionalidadEspañola (translated)

Lupe Sánchez stated that three claims about the vote of the descendants of the exiles were false. He maintained that neither Alberto Núñez Feijóo nor the PP were represented, and that the voting rights of the grandchildren of exiles had not been suspended, but rather those of individuals who had been considered descendants without proving that status. He also said that the Supreme Court had merely applied the law approved by Congress and accused the PSOE of wanting people who had been naturalized to vote, contrary to the provisions of the Democratic Memory Law. #Política #MemoriaHistórica #España (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. He stated that the issue was that nationalities had been granted to hundreds of thousands of foreigners without any proof, contrary to what was established by the law approved by Parliament, and recommended reading the Supreme Court rulings more carefully. #PSOE #DerechosCiviles #Franquismo (translated)
