The left-wing coalition assures that the project “comes to protect the universal agreement” and that it “lacks the commitment to end segregation”. The people’s representatives in turn denounced that the project “imposes the Basque language” and creates a situation of “national emergency”.
parliamentary groups Elkarrekin Podemos-IU (EP-UI) and PP+Cs will present one amendment to the whole to the Education Law project, as announced by their respective spokespersons, Miren Gorrotxategi and Carlos Iturgaiz in separate press conferences.
The “people” had already rejected the text and they were the only ones, along with Vox, not to sign the basic pact signed a year ago. The left-wing coalition’s departure from the opposition has been realized today, one day after the approval of the project, even though EP-IU had already denounced the “successive violations” by the regional executive of the signed pact of bases.
In a press conference held in the Basque Parliament, the parliamentarians of the coalition Look Gorrotxategi, Iñigo Martínez and Isabel González have criticized that the project does not respect the basic pact signed a year ago, that it shows “no interest” in placing public school as the “backbone” and “it comes to protect universal alignment” .
The EP-IU parliamentary spokesperson has not concealed the matter “deep disappointment” of his group, although he has acknowledged that “it is a disappointment announced by the successive violations of the pact signed more than a year ago”.
Under the pact, according to Gorrotxategi, the law should put “a twist” on education policy, but the draft “bets that everything will remain the same and the universal agreementsince the “only real condition” imposed on subsidized centers is that they join the commitment to eliminate gender segregation.
He also regrets that the text in its current configuration only speaks “generally, ambiguously” about subsidized centers and does not contain any provision rendering consultation useless.
In addition, the project “lacks the commitment to ending the segregation” since it only mentions a “possible pact” against it, but does not mention “any concrete measure”, which achieves the objective of combating this phenomenon “postponed to a future”.
EP-IU has criticized the fact that the text speaks “in capital letters” of a Basque public education service consisting of public and subsidized centres, while “the two networks cannot be treated the same” because a public school is not the same as a public school. financed. “For this bill, public property is not important,” Gorrotxategi denounced.
“It is a too general textsays nothing specific, there is no content that strengthens the public school, nor the fight against segregation,” he added announcing that Elkarrekin Podemos-IU will not come this afternoon at the meeting of the supervisory committee of the education pact because “it makes no sense.
Carlos Iturgaiz has warned that the Education Law project is creating “a national emergency”.
The president of the Basque PP, Carlos Iturgaiz, has stressed that the draft law on education “creates a national emergency because it forces and imposes the Basque language and banishes Castilian”.
After describing the standard as an anomaly, a scandal and an attack on the Spanish language,” he stressed that it was promoted by the PNV and PSE-EE, on “dictation” of EH Bildu.
Carlos Iturgaiz has described the PSE-EE’s position as an “electoral stance”, after declaring to the Socialists that they supported its adoption in the Governing Council so as not to “obstruct” its processing.
Iturgaiz has insisted that this regulation is “a disaster for the school community”, so it will change it, and then they will take “the measures to be taken against this law” without clarifying whether they will go to the Constitutional Court .
