西班牙最高法院维持「孙辈法」投票权中止：16.3万人暂不能投票
西班牙最高法院10月12日裁定，维持对「孙辈法」入籍者投票权的中止措施。行政诉讼庭第四庭驳回了国家法律服务署提出的上诉，裁决中有一票反对，来自法官 Alicia Millán。「孙辈法」是《民主记忆法》中针对流亡者后代的入籍条款。
检察机关与政府此前主张，在现有时间内执行中止根本做不到：163020名受影响的海外选民中，到底谁符合法律要求，无从区分。合议庭在裁决中回应，这正是政府自身的责任：政府一直没有提供法院所要求的人数拆分；同时，真正的流亡者后代不会失去保护，他们可以在领事馆出示证明文件确认身份。
裁决作出时，正值10月12日至19日的选民普查查询与申诉期；最终选民名册将于10月23日公布。
这桩由 Iustitia Europa 协会提起的案件将进入下一阶段：可对裁决本身提出的异议程序。受影响选民组织表示，斗争将继续，并可能走到宪法法院。（来源：西班牙最高法院）
Supreme Court Upholds Suspension of 'Grandchildren's Law' Voting Rights for 163,020 People
Spain's Supreme Court ruled on October 12 to uphold the precautionary suspension of voting rights for people who obtained Spanish nationality under the "grandchildren's law," the Democratic Memory Law provision for descendants of exiles. The Fourth Section of the Contentious-Administrative Chamber rejected the appeal filed by the State Legal Service, with one dissenting vote, that of Magistrate Alicia Millán.
The Prosecutor's Office and the Government had argued that executing the suspension is impossible in the time available: there is no way to distinguish which of the 163,020 affected overseas voters actually meet the law's requirements. The chamber replied that this situation is the Government's own responsibility, as it had not provided the breakdown the court requested, and held that genuine descendants of exiles are not left defenceless, since they can prove their status at consulates.
The ruling lands in the middle of the electoral census consultation period, October 12 to 19; the definitive census is due on October 23.
The case, brought by the association Iustitia Europa, now moves to challenges against the ruling itself, and the affected voters' organisations say the fight will continue before the Constitutional Court. (Source: Supreme Court of Spain)
