Bolaños accuses the Supreme Court of "altering" the electoral census with its precautionary decision on the 'grandchildren law'

Spanish Minister of Justice Félix Bolaños has publicly criticized the Supreme Court's decision to issue a precautionary suspension on the registration of new voters under the 'Grandchildren Law' within the Electoral Census of Absent Residents (CERA). Bolaños argued that this judicial intervention effectively alters the electoral census and has urged the court to resolve the matter as soon as possible, specifically citing the need for clarity before the 2027 elections.

The dispute centers on the legal status of individuals who obtained Spanish nationality through the 'Grandchildren Law' and their subsequent inclusion in the CERA. By suspending these registrations, the Supreme Court has created uncertainty regarding the voting rights of these new citizens, prompting the government to press for an expedited resolution to ensure the integrity and accessibility of the electoral process for future cycles.
