The Prosecutor's Office opposes investigating Óscar Puente's sister for the instruction of the 'grandchildren law' that leaves 163,020 people without the right to vote in the elections

The Spanish Public Prosecutor's Office has opposed a criminal investigation into Sofía Puente, sister of Transport Minister Óscar Puente, regarding her role in an instruction related to the 'Grandchildren Law' (Ley de Nietos). This administrative instruction has resulted in the suspension of voting rights for 163,020 individuals who recently acquired Spanish nationality through the law. The legal challenge against the official remains a point of contention due to the high-profile nature of the individuals involved.

Following a Supreme Court decision that upheld the suspension of voting rights for these new citizens, affected individuals are now seeking legal and administrative avenues to restore their suffrage. With electoral calendars approaching, those impacted are exploring specific procedures to regain their ability to vote in future Spanish elections, as the current regulatory framework continues to present significant bureaucratic challenges for this demographic.
