The Supreme Court of Spain, specifically its Contentious-Administrative Chamber, has decided to maintain the precautionary suspension of the right to vote for Spanish citizens who acquired their nationality through the instruction known as the 'ley de nietos' (grandchildren law). The decision was reached by a vote of five to one, dismissing an appeal presented by the State Attorney's Office.
As a result of this ruling, these newly naturalized citizens will not be able to participate in the upcoming elections scheduled for November 29. The electoral census for these elections is set to close on Monday, October 12, according to reports from high court sources released on Saturday, October 12.
