Bolaños warns that without the 'grandchildren law' he will go to the elections with "an altered census"

The Minister of the Presidency, Justice and Relations with the Courts, Félix Bolaños, has assured that if the application of the law on grandchildren is not unblocked before the next general elections, the elections will be held "with an altered census."

The precautionary measure that paralyzes the application of that law is equivalent to "400,000 Spaniards being deprived of the right to vote," Bolaños said in a dialogue with journalist Juanma Lamet at the conference on the Civil War being held in Seville.

"We are respectfully asking the Supreme Court to resolve this issue as soon as possible, because imagine the scenario: you go to the elections, you vote and then it is decided that the lawsuit made no sense and that those 400,000 people should have voted," he added.

He also recalled that the leader of the opposition, Alberto Núñez Feijoo, has spoken favorably of granting nationality to the descendants of those who left Spain due to the Civil War and the dictatorship and that "there is a broad consensus" on this measure.

He recalled that the law dates from 2022 and that "for four years it has been peaceful and no one has said a word and there have even been people who have voted in the 2023 and regional elections."

"And now, however, everything is born from a hoax which is that a big deal is going to be made, without any proof, totally delusional, and from there it is born that far-right organizations take it to the Supreme Court to paralyze that right to vote," he added.

He also recalled that of the people to whom this law grants Spanish nationality and therefore the right to vote, 10 percent usually vote, that this must be distributed among the different electoral constituencies and that the weight of the foreign vote in the last elections only decided one seat, in favor of the PP and to the detriment of the PSOE.
