The president of the People’s Party, Alberto N\u00fa\u00f1ez Feij\u00f3o, stated this Thursday that his party \u201cis not against a grandchild who proves kinship being able to obtain Spanish nationality,\u201d but denounced that \u201cthere is a great deal of arbitrariness\u201d in the application of the \u201cGrandchildren Law.\u201d For its part, the General Council of Spanish Citizenship Abroad (CGCEE) has demanded that the \u201clegitimate right\u201d to nationality \u201cobtained under a current law\u201d not be questioned and has flatly rejected Vox’s proposal to abolish postal voting.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u201cWe are not against a grandchild who can prove their relationship obtaining Spanish nationality. What we are against is this being done surreptitiously and underhandedly, because we have no information whatsoever,\u201d Feij\u00f3o warned during his participation in the UIMP courses at the Magdalena Palace in Santander.<\/p>\n

According to the PP leader, \u201cthere is a great deal of arbitrariness, no security, no transparency, and very few guarantees\u201d in the granting of nationality through the Democratic Memory Law (\u201cGrandchildren Law\u201d), under which \u201cthe number of applications is 2.6 million.\u201d<\/p>\n

This figure, he stated, \u201crepresents an enormous impact from the perspective of public services and the Spanish Welfare State\u201d because the granting of nationality entitles one to a health card, an education voucher, and a non-contributory pension; in short, to \u201cthe rights that Spaniards who have contributed to the system and worked in our country for many decades have.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSpain is not prepared to handle an increase of eight million people in just seven years. It is time to change immigration policy with all the necessary guarantees and without arbitrary actions,\u201d he added, referring to naturalizations and the current process of regularizing immigrants.<\/p>\n

Last Monday, Alberto N\u00fa\u00f1ez Feij\u00f3o told EsRadio that the \u201cGrandchildren Law\u201d is an \u201celectoral ploy\u201d implemented by the Prime Minister, Pedro S\u00e1nchez, to grant voting rights to 2.5 million people in a very short period of time. \u201cThere is a clear interest in gaining new voters because the numbers don’t add up with the current ones,\u201d he denounced.<\/p>\n

For her part, the President of the Community of Madrid, Isabel D\u00edaz Ayuso, also warned on Monday that \u201cevery consul and every official who grants citizenship to someone who doesn’t deserve it must know that they would also be doing something illegal, and that is our warning.\u201d In response to these statements, the Association of Diplomats of Spain (ADE) asserted that \u201cpublic officials in Spain are fully aware that it is their obligation to comply with the law.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before the People’s Party (PP), the first objection to the \u201cGrandchildren Law\u201d was raised by Vox, whose parliamentary group’s secretary general in Congress, Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Figaredo, declared this week that this law constitutes a \u201cslow-motion coup d’\u00e9tat\u201d and demanded that Spaniards residing abroad be denied the right to vote by mail, so that they can only vote in person at consulates or embassies.<\/p>\n

The General Council of Spanish Citizens Abroad (CGCEE)<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The CGCEE has expressed, in a statement, its \u201cfirm rejection of any proposal that limits or hinders the exercise of the right to vote for Spanish citizens residing abroad\u201d and has warned that Vox\u2019s proposal \u201cwould, in practice, deprive thousands of citizens who live far from consulates and embassies of this right.\u201d<\/p>\n

In this regard, it recalled that the Spanish Constitution expressly recognizes in Article 68.5 that \u201cthe law shall recognize and the State shall facilitate the exercise of the right to vote for Spaniards who are outside the territory of Spain,\u201d and therefore any measure that hinders this right would be \u201ccontrary to the spirit of this constitutional mandate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the CGCEE has also expressed its concern about the growing questioning of access to Spanish nationality for descendants of Spaniards, as recognized in the eighth additional provision of the Law of Democratic Memory. \u201cNationality obtained under a current law is a fully legitimate right and must be respected without reservation,\u201d the Council warns.<\/p>\n

\u201cSpaniards who have acquired their nationality in accordance with legally established procedures enjoy the same rights and obligations as any other Spanish citizen, and their status cannot be questioned nor can the exercise of the rights inherent to it be limited,\u201d it adds.<\/p>\n

In statements made on the TVE program \u2018Ma\u00f1aneros 360\u2019, Foreign Minister Jos\u00e9 Manuel Albares stated this Wednesday that \u201cwhat the People\u2019s Party and Mr. Feij\u00f3o are doing is a betrayal of the Spanish people.\u201d \u201cWhat the People\u2019s Party wants is for three and a half million Spaniards to be unable to vote,\u201d insisted the minister, who warned that \u201cthe vast majority of those Spaniards currently residing abroad are Spanish by birth.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also denounced the \u201cenormous hypocrisy\u201d of Feij\u00f3o and the People\u2019s Party because \u201cthis law was precisely what they included in their 2023 electoral platform.\u201d Specifically, the electoral program for the July 23, 2023 elections proposed guaranteeing the right to Spanish nationality for descendants of Spaniards through a “reformed Law on Access to Nationality for Grandchildren” and by “strengthening the Consulates responsible for processing nationality applications.” Feij\u00f3o also requested that the right to nationality not be limited to exiled Spaniards, but be extended to other cases in order to avoid “ideologizing” the process.<\/p>\n

That same Wednesday, the PP spokesperson in Congress, Ester Mu\u00f1oz, asserted that her party “has always defended the right of all those Spaniards who had to leave Spain due to exile to have their descendants recover Spanish nationality.”<\/p>\n

The Democratic Memory Law, which replaces the Historical Memory Law of 2007, has been in force since October 2022 after being approved by the Congress of Deputies and the Senate at the proposal of Pedro S\u00e1nchez’s government, with votes against it from, among others, the People’s Party (PP) and Vox. The law grants Spanish nationality to “those born outside of Spain to a father or mother, grandfather or grandmother, who were originally Spanish, and who, as a consequence of having suffered exile for political, ideological, or religious reasons, or due to their sexual orientation or gender identity, have lost or renounced their Spanish nationality.” The granting of nationality is included in the eighth additional provision of the “Grandchildren Law.” Despite this, the more than 70 amendments presented at the time by the PP to the law did not include any mention of this provision.<\/p>\n
