La Junta Electoral acata dividida el mandato del Supremo sobre la ‘ley de nietos’
La mayoría de los vocales no comparten que se haya suspendido el derecho al voto de los nacionalizados sin permitir alegaciones
This Monday, the Central Electoral Junta (JEC) convenes to examine the orders from the Supreme Court suspending the voting rights of naturalized citizens under the Memory and Democracy Law, known as the "nephews law." Most members of the JEC believe it is not their responsibility to debate the background of this law, which allowed thousands of naturalizations for descendants of exiled individuals from the Civil War, approved by the government and parliament four years ago without appeal within their time limits.
They argue they should only address doubts about where these individuals can vote. This discussion was already held in their July meeting and resolved with a 9-4 vote. The deputies proposed by the People's Party defend, in line with the majority of the Supreme Court's chamber, that the instruction that relaxed the naturalizations goes beyond the law's content and that the JEC is competent to deal with it.
