  "account": "The lengthy journey to enforce the Supreme Court's ruling on the \"law of grandchildren\" ended on Monday with the confirmation of the suspension of voting rights for nationals by the law of grandchildren. This decision, which had been sought by the State Bar Association and the Prosecutor's Office, appears to be on hold after the advance electoral calendar, according to the Abogacía del Estado and the Prosecutor's Office. The Supreme Court magistrates have left the implementation of this unprecedented measure to the Office of the Electoral Census and the consulates, who had already considered it \"materially impossible\" to complete the revision of the Electoral Census of Resident Absentees (CERA) in time for the May autonomous and municipal elections. The Monday filings also stated that the Contention-Administrative Chamber agreed to allow affected individuals (163,020 people, according to the Abogacía) to file a response to the proceedings within five days. This provision could result in a flood of appeals, which may be difficult to manage in the week or so before the elections.",
  "summary": "The court leaves the effective suspension of voting in the hands of the Electoral Census Office and the consulates, but they ensure they have no means to do so.",
