The Constitutional Court rejects the appeal for the 'grandchildren law' and maintains the suspension of voting ordered by the Supreme Court

The Plenary Session of the Constitutional Court (TC) has rejected this Wednesday by a comfortable majority of 10 votes to two the Ombudsman's appeal for protection in which it was requested to paralyze the suspension of the right to vote of those benefited by the law on grandchildren, according to what legal sources inform EL MUNDO.

By majority, the Plenary presided over by Judge Cándido Conde-Pumpido, has rejected the appeal filed by Ángel Gabilondo for being premature as the ordinary judicial route has not been exhausted in the Contentious-Administrative Chamber of the High Court, where the procedure continues to be processed.

For the first time in recent years, progressive and conservative magistrates of the court of guarantees combine their votes in a decision of great political significance, such as the right to vote of 163,020 people already naturalized. Thus, the block dynamics established within the TC in recent times are broken.
