The Foreign Ministry admits it will be "very difficult" to meet the deadline for those affected by the 'grandchildren law' to vote.

Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation José Manuel Albares stated on Monday that it will be highly difficult for consulates to process the nationality verifications required for individuals to vote under the 'Ley de Nietos' in a timely manner. The administrative challenge centers on the capacity of consular offices to confirm the status of applicants who have sought citizenship through this specific legislation.

This development highlights potential logistical hurdles in the implementation of the law, which allows descendants of Spanish citizens to acquire nationality. The acknowledgment suggests that the bureaucratic workload may impact the ability of these new citizens to exercise their voting rights within the expected timeframes.
