Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has appealed to the Supreme Court (“Supremo”) to intervene against a challenge to the recently passed law concerning descendants of republicans ("ley de nietos"). Sánchez accuses the political project led by Santiago Abascal and Alberto Núñez Feijóo of representing a return to outdated policies, characterized by reaction, austerity measures, and resentment. He specifically questions the constitutionality of the opposition's attempt to overturn the law. The Prime Minister framed the challenge as an “attempt to trample” on the legislation and seeks the court’s protection. Sánchez characterized the combined political approach of Abascal and Feijóo as smelling of “mothballs,” emphasizing his disapproval of their vision for Spain. This appeal signals escalating tensions between the governing coalition and the main opposition forces in Spain. The challenged law aims to facilitate citizenship for grandchildren of those exiled during the Spanish Civil War and Franco dictatorship.
