The partial amendment to the language models that both the PNV and the PSE-EE introduced in the draft Law of education continues to focus on current politics, and as yesterday, the program director of EH Bildu, Pello Otxandiano, has called on both to clarify the interpretation of that correction. According to you, “a minority – regarding PSE-EE, although he did not expressly mention this – has imposed its political criteria on a majorityand that criterion has nothing to do with the education debate.” As he explained, the Socialists had not so far raised any obstacles to requiring B2 of Basque at the end of their studies, and “they know” that the language models . “Therefore: “What is the point of this requirement to protect language models now?” he asked.
Otxandiano has linked this situation to the climate before the elections. As he stated in an interview for Euskadi Irratia’s ‘Faktoria’ programme, ‘the elections are too close: the parties are making calculations of how many votes they will get if they raise a certain flag.’ Thus he concludes that “interference political, cyclical and Partisans are changing the debate until now.”
The program director of EH Bildu has urged the PSE-EE to clarify to what extent the language models and Title 4 of the bill – which refers to Basque as the axis of the multilingual model – are compatible. “So far the PSE-EE has not responded to that question because it has no answer,” he criticized. For Otxandiano, what has happened today with the Education Law is “very serious”, because education is a strategic law for the coming years. “What they are doing has failed, both politically and legally,” he concluded.
Finally, he ruled out the possibility of postponing the debate until the next parliamentary term. As emphasized, ‘There are too many interests and more than one party with interests for this law not to succeed’. That is why, according to him, there are “no guarantees” that the law will pass.
