El Supremo ve en la ‘ley de nietos’ un “peligro fundado, real y serio” de afectar a la “objetividad” de las elecciones

The Supreme Court of Spain deems the inclusion of naturalized citizens under the Democratic Memory Law, often referred to as the "law of grandchildren," as a "well-founded, real, and serious danger" that could significantly compromise the impartiality and transparency of elections. This could lead to "irreparable harm to the fairness and correctness of such an electoral process, as it directly impacts an essential element of the Rule of Law, which is the expression of popular will through the exercise of the right to vote," according to the Contempt and Administrative Law Chamber's filings that led to the suspension of voting rights for those who acquired Spanish citizenship as children or grandchildren of Spaniards who left the country between July 18, 1936, and December 31, 1955.

Magistrate Alicia Millán delivered a dissenting opinion, highlighting potential discrepancies among the justices.
