Bolaños accuses the PP of promoting "a massive reduction of the right to vote" of Spaniards by attacking the 'grandchildren law'

Minister of the Presidency, Justice and Relations with the Cortes, Félix Bolaños, publicly accused the Partido Popular (PP) on Wednesday of attempting to restrict the voting rights of Spanish citizens. Bolaños claims the PP's opposition to the 'Ley de Nietos' (Grandchildren's Law) constitutes a massive reduction in the democratic participation of approximately 400,000 individuals who have gained citizenship through the legislation.

The controversy centers on the political impact of the 'Ley de Nietos,' which facilitates the acquisition of Spanish nationality for descendants of Spaniards. By challenging the law, the government argues that the PP is effectively disenfranchising a significant segment of the electorate that has benefited from these provisions.
