西班牙最高法院加速审理「孙辈法」投票权案:16.3万海外选民受影响

西班牙最高法院10月10日加速审理一桩直接关系11月29日大选的案件:行政诉讼庭给各方两天不可延长的期限,就是否解除对「孙辈法」入籍者投票权的中止措施提交意见。「孙辈法」是《民主记忆法》中针对流亡者后代的入籍条款。
这一中止措施涉及约163020名西班牙海外选民(CERA),他们可能因此无法参加11月大选。检察机关与政府都请求法院解除中止,理由是:在投票日前把受影响选民与真正的流亡者后代区分开来,在操作上根本做不到。提起诉讼的 Iustitia Europa 协会则要求法院维持中止。
根据外交部发布的数据,依据该条款申请西班牙国籍的人已超过120万,其中571761人已经获批。

Spain's Supreme Court Speeds Up 'Grandchildren's Law' Voting Case Affecting 163,020 Overseas Voters
Spain's Supreme Court moved on October 10 to speed up a case with direct consequences for the November 29 election: its Contentious-Administrative Chamber gave the parties an unextendable two-day deadline to file allegations on whether to lift the precautionary suspension of voting rights for people who obtained Spanish nationality under the so-called grandchildren's law, the Democratic Memory Law provision for descendants of exiles.
The suspension, agreed in September, blocks an estimated 163,020 overseas voters (CERA) from taking part. Both the Public Prosecutor's Office and the Government have asked the court to lift it, arguing it is materially impossible to distinguish the affected voters from genuine descendants of exiles before polling day. The association Iustitia Europa, which brought the case, has asked the court to uphold the suspension.
According to Foreign Ministry figures, more than 1.2 million applications for nationality have been filed under the provision and 571,761 have been approved.
The court is expected to rule within days, in the middle of the electoral census consultation period running from October 12 to 19. (Source: Supreme Court of Spain)
