Three affected by the 'grandchildren's law', before the Supreme Court: "The right to vote cannot be suspended"

Three Spanish citizens living abroad have appealed to the Supreme Court to lift electoral suspension measures affecting their voting rights under the 'grandchildren's law'. They argue that this suspension violates their fundamental right to vote and creates inequality among citizens based on residency. The appeal follows a previous rejection by the Constitutional Court of a similar request from the Ombudsman. The affected individuals, represented by former judge Baltasar Garzón's firm, claim that the suspension impacts their political participation and that the electoral law does not allow for such a suspension. They also highlight the unfairness of differing treatment between those living abroad and those in Spain who acquired nationality through the same law. The legal battle continues amid tight electoral deadlines, with the possibility of seeking compensation for damages.
