The leader of Spain’s People’s Party (PP), Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has publicly questioned a recent increase in the national voter census, attributing it to the government’s “grandchild law” which facilitates citizenship for descendants of Spanish emigrants. Feijóo alleges this constitutes “electoral engineering” and an attempt to manufacture new voters, raising concerns about the integrity of the electoral process. The government has strongly refuted these claims, labeling Feijóo’s statements as “irresponsible.” Furthermore, Feijóo proposed amending the electoral law to award additional parliamentary seats to the party receiving the most votes nationwide. This proposal is seen as an attempt to bolster the winning party’s majority. The controversy arises ahead of upcoming elections, intensifying political tensions and sparking debate over electoral fairness and demographic shifts impacting the electorate. The government defends the law as a rightful extension of citizenship to those with familial ties to Spain.
