The Government has positively assessed this Monday that the Supreme Court has rejected suspending the right to vote of the children of people who obtained nationality through the 'grandchildren law', a measure requested by Vox and Iustitia Europa and which the Executive interprets as a "brake on the strategy of far-right organizations".
Sources from the Executive branch of Pedro Sánchez have shown their support for the decision of the highest court not to extend the suspension of suffrage to more nationalized citizens "thanks to the memory laws approved in Congress".
From Moncloa, however, they have expressed their displeasure because "this reasoning has not been applied" to those who already have the right to vote suspended, that is, the parents of those children, although they trust that "the final decision will end up protecting their rights", since the Supreme Court is maintaining for now the suspension for the 'grandchildren'.
As these sources emphasize, "the decision of the highest court represents a brake on the strategy of far-right organizations (Vox and Iustitia Europa) to suppress fundamental rights progressively and massively and to cast doubt on the electoral outcome in case the right and the far right do not reach the majority they want".
For the Government, this is "a strategy used by the far right throughout the world and which the PP has also adopted here".
Along the same lines, they have recalled that this same tactic has been seen in the United States, where "just a few days ago Donald Trump was asking for the votes of 20,000 people, whom he considered 'non-citizens', not to be counted in order to call into question the election result in advance".
In the Executive’s view, there is "a drift against the system on the part of the right", which it reproaches "for casting doubt on an electoral system that is one of the most guarantees-based in the world".
They have stated that "it has done so with the vote of Spaniards residing abroad, the vote by mail or the electronic DNI. All the measures have been in force in different electoral processes and have not affected election security or the election outcome. The electoral system has not changed. The right has changed by embracing extremism and conspiracy theories".
The Government has demanded "respect" both for the electoral system and for the fundamental rights "of all Spaniards, whatever their origins and beliefs".
With the decision adopted by the Supreme Court for reasons of "legal certainty and electoral stability" in view of the proximity of the general elections on next 29 November, the children of those who were naturalized under the 'law of grandsons' will retain their right to go to the polls.
