Supreme Court wants cap on trade margin for all essential medicines and medical products
Government proposes 30% trade-margin cap on patented and non-patented cancer medicines, but top court asks why a margin cap cannot be extended to all medicines and medical products; the court says the government has to ensure that DPCO-approved medicines, whose price is legally regulated, reach patients
Spain's controversial 'Law of Grandchildren' has ignited a legal dispute over the eligibility of overseas voters for the upcoming November 29 general election. The 'Ley de Nietos', a provision allowing certain descendants of Spaniards to gain Spanish citizenship, has enabled people with family ties to Spain, particularly in Latin America, to apply for citizenship without living in the country.
Critics argue this interpretation of the law broadened the exile requirement, allowing individuals who never resided in Spain to vote in national elections. The controversy has intensified due to the surge in overseas registered voters, with some regions in Spain experiencing a significant increase in electors living abroad. The Supreme Court has temporarily suspended the voting rights of affected individuals, pending further clarification on their eligibility.
