Spain’s Constitutional Court is preparing to reject an appeal filed regarding the controversial ‘grandchildren law,’ which addresses the rights of children of those who were exiled during the Franco dictatorship. A majority of the court’s plenary session reportedly considers the appeal from the Public Defender’s Office to be “premature.” The court is leaning towards deeming the case inadmissible today, as the legal procedure is still ongoing in the Supreme Court. This decision suggests the Constitutional Court will allow the Supreme Court to address the matter first. The ‘grandchildren law’ aims to simplify the process for grandchildren of Spanish exiles to obtain Spanish nationality. The rejection of this appeal could delay further legal challenges to the law’s implementation and interpretation. The outcome is likely to disappoint advocates for the rights of those affected by the law.
