'Law of grandchildren': the Supreme Court reviews the appeal of the Government against the suspension of the right to vote that leaves hundreds of thousands out of the polls on 29-N

The Supreme Court of Spain is reviewing a government appeal against a court order that temporarily suspended a law known as the 'Ley de nietos,' which restricts voting rights for certain individuals. This suspension could affect hundreds of thousands of people who would otherwise be eligible to vote in the upcoming November 29 elections. The law has been challenged by groups such as Iustitia Europa and the Vox party, who argue that the measure should be immediately enforced to ensure it impacts the next election. The legal dispute centers around whether the temporary suspension of the law is valid and whether it should remain in place until the final ruling.
