Sánchez acusa a la derecha de cuestionar la democracia al ir contra la ‘ley de nietos’ y pide al Supremo que decida rápido

Pedro Sánchez has made it clear that his government is displeased with the Supreme Court's decision to temporarily suspend the inclusion of new voters in the electoral census and their right to vote. During an interview on TVE, the president directed his criticism primarily at Vox and the People's Party (PP) for their attacks on the law, but also indirectly at the Supreme Court.

He emphasized that they are not in favor of or share the Supreme Court's decision and have urged them to resolve the matter as soon as possible, as this concerns fundamental rights.

Just prior to discussing the PP and Vox, Sánchez suggested that the attack on the law is driven by a "fundamental current of the far-right worldwide," which includes the PP. He accused the far-right of questioning democracy and using derogatory language, recalling past claims that trains were blocking votes in the last elections, as if only PP voters traveled on trains.

Sánchez argues that the controversy surrounding the so-called "ninos law," which has been in place since 2022 and applied from 2023, is part of a broader attempt to challenge the electoral process, similar to doubts raised about postal voting and other issues. The electoral board's position on the law was favorable in 2023, yet the PP has since changed its stance.
