Fiscal and Lawyers Oppose Suspension of Increase in Census Due to Grandchildren Law

The Spanish Supreme Court is considering whether to suspend the increase in the Resident Absentee Electoral Census (CERA) due to the 'grandchildren law,' which allows individuals to gain voting rights through their grandchildren. Both the Public Prosecutor's Office and the State Advocate have opposed suspending the process, arguing that it would require reviewing nationality grants, which is not the focus of the legal challenge. The opposition parties Vox and Iustitia Europa argue that continuing the census expansion could lead to widespread fraud and undermine democratic integrity, citing a significant rise in registered voters since the law was implemented. Iustitia Europa advocates for precautionary measures to prevent irreversible electoral effects, while the prosecutor emphasizes that voter registration is a legal consequence of nationality and not subject to suspension.
