The president of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, has accused the right this Sunday of trying to block the vote of around 400,000 descendants of Spaniards exiled during Franco's regime who could benefit from the so-called grandchildren's law. In this context, he has called on the Supreme Court to stop what he has described as an "attempt at abuse."
"From here I ask the Supreme Court to put a stop to this attempt at abuse by Feijóo and Abascal because in a democracy the right to vote is not prohibited, it is guaranteed," Sánchez has assured during a rally held in Ponferrada.
The socialist leader has claimed that these people must be able to participate in the upcoming elections, emphasizing that they have already exercised their right to vote in several calls since 2023. "Feijóo doesn't want it and Abascal doesn't like it. What does that mean, that the grandchildren of the exiles from Franco's regime will not be able to vote and the grandchildren of the Francoist regime will be able to do so?" Sánchez has pointed out.
The head of the Executive has also called on the "strength of the people" to support a progressive Government against a potential coalition of the PP and Vox, which he has presented as a project of "reaction, cuts, and a lot of resentment."
"It smells of naphthalene, it is the political project of Abascal and Feijóo. Reaction, cuts, and a lot of resentment. Spain needs four more years of progress and fewer insults from the right and the far-right," he has indicated.
