# Supreme Court rejects urgent census suspension 30 October 2026 at 17:30 > Spain's Supreme Court denies Iustitia Europa's request to halt the census of children nationalised under the Law of Democratic Memory. The Third Chamber of the Spanish **Supreme Court** has rejected an urgent request from **Iustitia Europa** to suspend the census of children of individuals nationalised under the **Law of Democratic Memory**. The court instead opened a precautionary incident, allowing three days for parties to formulate allegations regarding the contested registrations. To manage the legal process ahead of the general elections on 29 November, the court enabled all days in October and November as working days. Ministers **Albares** and **Bolaños** have already complied with a deadline to submit a nominal list of 163,000 beneficiaries of the 'law of grandchildren' following a specific requirement from the judiciary. This follows a previous ruling to suspend the electoral effects of those nationalised under Annex I pending individual verification. While Iustitia Europa sought to extend these restrictions to Annex III beneficiaries and those in the national electoral census, the Supreme Court refused to apply further limitations to residents in Spain.
