PP y Vox se disputan la autoría del recurso contra la ley de nietos

Spain's Supreme Court has temporarily blocked the electoral effects of a controversial immigration law, sparking a fierce credit-claiming battle between the Popular Party (PP) and the far-right Vox party over who filed the legal challenge El Correo. The court's decision suspends the so-called 'grandchildren law' from taking effect while legal challenges proceed, leaving both right-wing parties scrambling to claim victory for orchestrating the move.
The Spanish Supreme Court issued a preliminary suspension of the law's electoral provisions La Opinión de Córdoba. This halts implementation while judges examine whether the measure violates constitutional rights. The 'grandchildren law' would have granted Spanish nationality to foreign descendants of Spanish citizens who fled during the Civil War era.
Both the PP and Santiago Abascal's Vox party are claiming they filed the legal challenge Información. The dispute centers on who deserves credit for stopping the law from taking effect. Each party views the court's decision as a political win and wants voters to know they led the effort to block the measure.
The blocked law aimed to simplify the path to Spanish citizenship for descendants of Spanish exiles El Periódico de Aragón. Supporters said it would restore justice to families separated by historical displacement. Critics, particularly on the right, opposed expanding immigration pathways and challenged the law in court before it could take full effect.
