The Deputy Secretary of Political Action of Vox, Ignacio de Hoces, reiterated this Saturday that the party has no intention of "pressuring" the Supreme Court to expedite its decision on the known 'grandchildren's law'. In his view, it is the Supreme Court itself that must decide whether or not to prioritize the ruling regarding the voting rights of those registered in the Electoral Census of Absent Residents (CERA) who were naturalized under the Democratic Memory Law.
The Supreme Court has agreed to provisionally suspend, until it issues a ruling, the exercise of the vote of those who have already obtained or will obtain nationality through the '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.
"The Supreme Court will know how many cases it has on the table and the importance of this or other issues," De Hoces pointed out in an interview on the "Parlamento" program of "RNE", reported by Europa Press. In this line, he insisted that Vox rejects exercising "any type of pressure" on the Supreme Court, unlike what, in his opinion, "the Government does time and again with different cases."
For the Vox leader, "what is really important" is that the Supreme Court "rules and resolves by means of a sentence" that the instruction "is clearly illegal" and, consequently, "those who have benefited from it cannot vote." He also defended that there is no unconstitutionality in excluding these people from the electoral census.
Questioned about the attitude of the PP in claiming the initiative before the Supreme Court, the also deputy of Vox opined that the popular party "could have also filed the corresponding appeals," just as the party led by Santiago Abascal did.
