Lupe Sánchez dismissed as false the claim that the descendants of exiles from Franco's regime who proved their status could not vote. He stated that the issue was that nationalities had been granted to hundreds of thousands of foreigners without any proof, contrary to what was established by the law approved by Parliament, and recommended reading the Supreme Court rulings more carefully. #PSOE #DerechosCiviles #Franquismo (translated)

Lupe Sánchez stated that the Government planned to appeal to the Constitutional Court the decision of the Supreme Court to maintain the precautionary measures on the application of the instruction of Sofía Puente, known as the grandchildren's law. He argued that, as a general rule, neither the central Government nor the regional governments were legitimized to file a petition for amparo, according to articles 53 and 162 of the Constitution and articles 41 and 46 of the Organic Law of the Constitutional Court. He added that the exception related to the right to effective judicial protection in article 24 would not apply in this case. Sánchez also pointed out that the Supreme Court had summoned hundreds of thousands of descendants of exiles who could be affected by the resolution, and said that would make it difficult for the Socialist Executive to resort to that avenue. He added that the Prosecutor's Office could indeed file a petition for amparo, although he described it as unusual, but stated that in this case it had not appealed the precautionary measures in reinstatement, so he considered that route closed. #Gobierno #TribunalConstitucional #DerechosHumanos (translated)

In his opinion, this further reduced the possibilities of manipulating the law for Pedro's benefit. #LeyDeNietos #DerechosHumanos #España (translated)
