In its appeal, the Ombudsman urged the Constitutional Court to take into account "an exceptional emergency situation" and to suspend "immediately" the Supreme Court ruling.
In view of the decision of the Supreme Court last week to suspend the law on grandchildren in the run-up to the November 29 elections in Spain, which was appealed by the Ombudsman, the Constitutional Court will decide this week whether to accept the appeal.
The Court of Guarantees announced today that all judges will consider theapplication for amparo .
Thus, the twelve judges must decide what to do with the appeal lodged by the institution headed by Ángel Gabilondo.
In its appeal, the Ombudsman urged the Constitutional Court to take into account "an exceptional emergency situation " and to suspend "immediately" the Supreme Court ruling.
The Constitution has also ordered the Electoral Board to ensure that citizens registered with the CERA are guaranteed the right to vote.
For the Ombudsman, holding general elections on 29 November "means carrying out many formalities in a short space of time, which could not be met without the immediate adoption of the precautionary measure".
