One judge rejects a lawsuit against Sofía Puente over the 'grandchildren law' while another decides to investigate

A Madrid court has rejected a criminal complaint filed by the political party Vox against Sofía Puente, the former director general of Legal Security and Public Faith. The complaint alleged that Puente committed crimes of prevarication and usurpation of functions during her tenure in 2022 regarding the implementation of the so-called 'grandchild law.'

This judicial decision stands in contrast to a separate ruling issued by a different Madrid court just one day prior, which elected to admit a similar complaint against Puente for investigation. The legal proceedings center on the application of legislation facilitating citizenship for descendants of Spaniards, with the conflicting judicial outcomes highlighting ongoing scrutiny of the administrative processes involved.
