The party believes that the instructions approved to implement the legislation have enabled the "massive and illegal" granting of Spanish nationality and accuses Pedro Sánchez's government of trying to alter the electoral roll for political gain. It is therefore calling for the 2022 and 2024 instructions to be set aside and for the city council to also express its opposition to what Vox describes as the Executive's attacks on the Supreme Court's independence.
As an argument in support of its proposal, the municipal group puts the number of voters living abroad and registered for the February 8, 2026, election in the Aragonese capital at 22,140, 16% more than in January 2022. Vox argues that this increase makes it necessary to verify voters' correct territorial registration and ensure that the entries meet legal requirements.
VOX CALLS FOR TIES TO BE VERIFIED
The motion calls for Zaragoza City Council to take part in verifying people registered in the overseas electoral roll and assigned to the city, receive information about new registrations and promote a full audit. The party also warns that, according to the data included in its initiative, there are 167 Spanish municipalities where the number of voters registered abroad exceeds the number of residents.
The proposal comes after the Supreme Court upheld on October 12 the precautionary suspension of voting rights for people naturalized under the grandchildren law and registered in CERA ahead of the general election on November 29. The measure includes an exception for those who can prove through consulates that they meet the legal requirements related to descent from exiles.
