Far-right hysteria: Mexico and Venezuela's alleged 'communist dictatorship'

A publication claims the infiltration of over 200,000 individuals from Latin America, presented as "grandchildren," to vote in Spain.

Trinc a social media post, the alleged infiltration of a large number of people of Latin American origin into the Spanish electoral roll has been raised. The accusation states that more than **200,000 individuals**, presented as "grandchildren" of Spaniards, are being mobilized to vote in specific "suitable provinces."

## Grandchildren Law and the migratory context

This claim is part of the debate surrounding the **Democratic Memory Law**, popularly known as the Grandchildren Law. This legislation, approved in **2022**, facilitates the acquisition of Spanish nationality for descendants of Spaniards exiled during the Civil War and the Franco dictatorship. The law aims to repair historical memory and reconnect with the Spanish diaspora.

## Figures and accusations

The publication in question, which is being widely shared, mentions **200,000 people** linked to the **Puebla Group**, a political forum for Latin American leftists. They are accused of being "people who have never been and will never be in Spain," but who, by obtaining nationality, could influence electoral results. The figure of **200,000** is the basis for the alarm being generated.
