  "account": "The Spanish Constitutional Court is set to reject an appeal by the Ombudsman to restore voting rights to over 160,000 Spanish nationals living abroad. The voting rights were cautiously withdrawn by the Supreme Court just over a month before the general elections. The Constitutional Court's majority considers the appeal premature as the Supreme Court has opened a deadline for allegations until October 23. The appeal does not meet the subsidiarity requirement, as the ordinary justice route has not been exhausted.",
  "summary": "A majority of the plenary session understands that the appeal by the Ombudsman is \"premature\" and tends to reject it today, given that the procedure is open at the Supreme Court.",
