Moncloa does not agree with the Supreme Court's decision to provisionally suspend voting rights for naturalized citizens under the 'grandchildren's law'

The Spanish Supreme Court has issued a precautionary suspension of voting rights for individuals who acquired Spanish nationality under the 'Ley de Nietos' (Grandchildren's Law) and are registered in the Censo Electoral de Residentes Ausentes (CERA). This suspension applies to all such individuals unless they can provide accredited proof of exile status.

In response to the ruling, the Spanish government, based at Moncloa, has publicly stated that it does not share the Supreme Court's decision. The judicial measure impacts the electoral participation of a specific group of newly naturalized citizens residing abroad, creating a point of contention between the executive branch and the judiciary regarding the implementation of the law.
