The Spanish Supreme Court suspended this Tuesday the electoral effects of the so-called "grandchildren law", a provision of the democratic memory law that affects the descendants of Spanish exiles. This precautionary measure provoked great euphoria on the Spanish right, but also originated a new confrontation between the Popular Party (PP) and Vox, with both formations claiming authorship of this appeal.
The suspended norm would have allowed the granting of voting rights, through Spanish nationality, to approximately two million people who could demonstrate they were descendants of exiles from the Civil War or the Franco dictatorship. The PP and Vox are now trying to claim credit for the suspension of this law that has generated great political controversy in Spain.
