The Minister of the Presidency, Justice, and Relations with the Courts, Félix Bolaños, has questioned this Saturday the legal foundations that have led the Supreme Court to provisionally suspend the right to vote for those who have obtained nationality through the so-called 'grandchildren's law'. "The Supreme Court ruling temporarily depriving thousands of compatriots of their vote is very legally debatable," he pointed out.
Bolaños has expressed himself in a message on his X account, reported by Europa Press, in which he shares the statement issued by Judges and Judges for Democracy (JJpDD) and the Progressive Union of Prosecutors (UPF), associations that have criticized the disproportion of the high court's decision.
"Here are the legal arguments of JJpDD and UPF," the minister indicates, accompanying his words with the text issued by both progressive organizations. In that same publication, he again requests "respectfully" that the Supreme Court "resolve this issue before the 2027 elections" and emphasizes that "the census cannot be altered without a solid legal basis."
The Supreme Court has agreed to suspend, as a precautionary measure and until it issues a ruling, the right to vote for those who have already acquired or will acquire Spanish nationality under the provision of the Democratic Memory Law known as 'grandchildren's law', except in cases where the condition of descendant of exiles is proven. These precautionary measures respond to the appeals filed by Vox and the Iustitia Europa platform.
