Vice President Carlos Cuerpo has pointed to the People's Party for pressuring public employees who manage the Grandchildren Law. This regulation grants Spanish nationality to descendants of exiles from the Civil War. According to Cuerpo, the PP crosses limits by intimidating workers, which delays procedures and creates uncertainty for applicant families. The Government calls for moderation to avoid blocking a humanitarian right.
Digital bureaucracy, key to streamlining nationality procedures 💻
The nationality case management system relies on platforms such as SIRAJ or the electronic headquarters of the Ministry of Justice. However, the saturation of applications and manual document verification processes create bottlenecks. An improvement in interoperability between civil registries and consulates could reduce processing times. The digitization of historical archives and automatic data validation are necessary technical steps to alleviate the burden on officials.
Intimidating civil servants: the new extreme sport in the Administration 😅
It seems some politicians have found a hobby: scaring civil servants to see if they stamp papers faster. If coercion were an effective method, we would have already automated the process with a simple shout. But no, all they achieve is that public employees ask for more coffee and fewer meetings. In the end, those waiting for nationality wonder if the next step will be to send officials with an escort to process their ID cards.
