They denounce the 'law of grandchildren' before the Central Electoral Board for "manipulating the census"

An article from 20minutos reports that a group has filed a complaint against the 'law of grandchildren' (a proposed law allowing grandparents to vote on behalf of their grandchildren) with Spain's Electoral Commission, alleging that it could manipulate the census. The law, which would allow certain minors to have their votes counted through their legal guardians, has sparked controversy over potential voter fraud and electoral integrity. Critics argue that the measure could lead to inaccurate representation by allowing non-citizens or individuals without voting rights to cast ballots under the guise of family ties. Supporters claim it aims to increase youth participation in democratic processes.

Bias read (Left): The article frames the 'law of grandchildren' as a potentially fraudulent measure that threatens electoral integrity, suggesting a critical stance toward the proposal. While the article does not explicitly endorse any political party, the emphasis on manipulation and fraud aligns with left-leaning关切
