La Junta Electoral abre expediente sancionador a Sánchez por la rueda de prensa en La Moncloa donde anunció los decretos sobre vivienda

The Electoral Board of Central Spain (JEC) members are unanimously convinced that the Supreme Court's autos and its rulings on the so-called "grandchildren" law have caused the issue with the right to vote for nationals. After their meeting on Thursday, they decided to send the matter back to the high court's magistrates for further resolution.

The JEC also noted there's insufficient time and resources to determine the exact status of 163,020 nationals who fall under this category among the 2.7 million inscribed in the foreign voting census (CERA). They simply warn all of them that depending on the final Supreme Court decision, their vote might not be counted. Furthermore, the electoral body agreed to initiate a sanctioning procedure against Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez over a press conference held in La Moncloa on October 6th, where he announced two decrees on housing measures. The punishment could range from €300 to €3,000.
