Lupe Sánchez argued that the statements about the Grandchildren's Law confirmed, in his opinion, that there was an intention to compromise the integrity of the census and alter the elections. He said that the Supreme Court had to decide whether to maintain the precautionary measures, even though this could prevent some descendants of exiles from voting in these elections, or whether to allow hundreds of thousands of naturalized citizens to vote against the will of the Spanish legislator. Sánchez stated that these naturalizations had been processed through guarantee-less procedures managed by opaque companies, some of which, he wrote, were linked to non-democratic regimes. #LeyDeNietos #Censo #Elecciones (translated)

SPAIN: DOES SÁNCHEZ DIVIDE SPANISH PEOPLE? FACTS AND OPINIONS THE CONTEXT: ELECTIONS IN A TENSE CLIMATE On October 5, Pedro Sánchez dissolved the Cortes and scheduled general elections for November 29. The triggering event was the failure, the previous week, of two housing decrees, rejected by the PP, Vox, and Junts. Most polls, except for the CIS, give the majority to the right. One question runs through the debate: is the head of the Government seeking to fracture the country to stay in power? Serious work must separate what is established from what is interpretation. WHAT IS DOCUMENTED ● In his statement, Sánchez called to "bend the elites" and accused Junts of "treason." ● He framed the election this way: join an "ultra-right wave" or continue being a bastion of openness and social justice. ● He also acknowledged mistakes and unfulfilled promises, according to El Español. ● The same media reports that his environment pushed him to capitalize on discontent over housing and the political cost of the PP's vote alongside Vox and Junts. ● Regarding Ceuta, The Conversation describes a crisis that has fueled protests throughout the country and a growing "cultural war." ● Vox describes the arrivals as "invasion," showing that polarization does not come solely from one side. WHAT IS INTERPRETATION Several analyses read the speech as a first campaign rally, built on a "me or chaos" narrative and the fear of a PP-Vox Government. It is a plausible political reading, but it remains a reading. The PSOE also rejects it, attributing the blockage to an opposition that it views as lacking a sense of state. Nothing in reliable sources proves a deliberate intent to divide the people. A strategy of mobilization based on confrontation is observed, which is not the same thing. THE ROYAL FAMILY: SOURCES TO HANDLE WITH CAUTION This is the most fragile section. Opinion pieces, including one from The Objective, describe a very tense relationship between Zarzuela and Moncloa, with controversies surrounding a visit by the King to Ceuta and statements by ministers. These texts rely heavily on anonymous sources and media close to the right. They do not demonstrate a strategy by Sánchez against the Crown. A verifiable fact: Zarzuela confirms that the King was informed of the decision by the Prime Minister before the announcement and that the dissolution decree was sanctioned remotely. THE TWO OPPOSITIONS AND THEIR OWN NARRATIVES The PP led by Feijóo bets on choosing between "decadence or change." Abascal, for his part, calls for voting in person instead of by mail and says he does not trust anything that Sánchez does. Each side contributes its part to the tension: all construct a narrative in which the opponent threatens the country. WHAT TO REMEMBER Polarization is real and shared. Saying that Sánchez uses it is defensible. Claiming that he wants to divide the people is an opinion. Citizens will judge on November 29, after comparing balances, promises, and accusations.

Legal experts warn that the Government's maneuver to approve housing decrees through the Permanent Deputation could constitute a constitutional fraud by subverting the majority will of the Plenary of Congress. #FraudeConstitucional #DecretosDeVivienda #DiputaciónPermanente (translated)

Aristotle announced that he would explain what route would be taken, its possible consequences, and the objective that, in his opinion, was being pursued. He maintained that it would be a fraud of law and a new disregard for the popular will. According to what he wrote, article 86 of the Spanish Constitution allows the Government to issue decree-laws in cases of extraordinary and urgent necessity, which must be submitted to Congress for it to decide within 30 days whether to validate or repeal them. He also pointed out that article 78.2 establishes that if the Chambers are dissolved or their mandate has expired, the Permanent Deputation assumes the powers provided for in articles 86 and 116, a provision that, he added, is also included in article 57 of the Congress Regulations. #FraudeDeLey #Derecho #Política (translated)
