Show answer and explanation
✓ Falso
False. When a person acquires Spanish nationality, they are Spanish for all purposes and can vote from the moment they meet the requirements of any citizen: being over 18 and being registered on the censo electoral (the electoral roll). There is no waiting period of three years. Spaniards by naturalisation have the same political rights as Spaniards by origin.
Political parties must work in a democratic way.
- AVerdaderoTrue
- BFalsoFalse
Show answer and explanation
✓ Verdadero
True. The Constitution says that political parties express political pluralism and that their internal structure and functioning must be democratic. They can be created freely, as long as they respect the Constitution and the law. This means, for example, that their members take part in decisions and that they cannot defend violence. In a democratic State, parties are the main tool of political participation.
The Constitution recognises fundamental rights only for Spanish people.
- AVerdaderoTrue
- BFalsoFalse
Show answer and explanation
✓ Falso
False. The Constitution includes rights for Spanish people and also for foreigners who live in Spain. Some rights, such as the right to life, basic education or judicial protection (tutela judicial), belong to everyone. Others, such as voting in general elections or holding public office, belong only to Spanish people. So the statement “only Spanish people” is false: you, as a foreign resident, also have fundamental rights.
