Nationality and Suffrage: An Indestructible Binomial?
Being a citizen of a country does not automatically lead to the recognition of the right to political participation, which may be limited or even prohibited.
Spain's Supreme Court has upheld a precautionary suspension of nationality recognitions under the so-called "Law of Grandchildren". The Defender of the People has had a request for constitutional protection rejected as "premature". Around 163,000 people may be unable to vote in the general elections on 29 November if the Supreme Court does not rule on the matter before then.
