21.10.2026 ⇢ The Day the Constitutional Court Rejected the Nietos Appeal
⌨

The Supreme Court's application of amnesty for embezzlement to Junqueras, Turull, Romeva and Bassa lingered from overnight, with coverage noting its rebuke of the Constitutional Court for interference.

Milei's Madrid visit then displaced it, after he called Sanchez an 'impresentable dictador' and urged voters to kick out socialists. Exteriores condemned the insults, while outlets stressed discomfort for Feijoo and Abascal, who avoided him, and a two-hour meeting with Ayuso ending in an invitation to Argentina and a common front on the grandchildren law.

The Constitutional Court voted 10-2 to dismiss the Ombudsman's appeal against suspension of the ley de nietos vote as premature, leaving some 160,000 naturalized citizens unable to vote. The government demanded no disenfranchisement without final sentence, as the left's Frente Amplio refused a global withdrawal deal with the PSOE.
