Why It Matters
The Democratic Memory Law of 2022 allowed descendants of exiles to obtain Spanish nationality, known as the grandchildren law.
The Supreme Court has refused to suspend the right to vote for the upcoming 29-N elections to the sons and daughters of those who previously obtained Spanish nationality through what is known as the grandchildren law, which is around 190,000 people, according to what legal sources have informed Efe.
Unlike their parents, nationalized by a provision of the Democratic Memory Law of 2022 and whose right to vote was provisionally suspended by the Supreme Court unless they proved that they are descendants of exiles, their children will be able to vote on November 29, when the court discarded the precautionary petition from Iustitia Europa and Vox.
