The Spanish Supreme Court has issued a resolution suspending the registration of new applicants into the Censo Electoral de Residentes Ausentes (CERA) who gained citizenship through the 'Ley de Nietos' (Grandchildren Law). This legal decision directly impacts the administrative processing of citizenship applications at Spanish consulates abroad.
The ruling is expected to exacerbate existing administrative backlogs at these diplomatic offices. Consulates that were already experiencing significant delays in processing requests now face increased pressure as a result of the court's intervention in the electoral census enrollment process.
