The majority of the PP and Vox in the Balearic Chamber approved a motion in the Balearic Islands to ask the Government chaired by Marga Prohens the “parental pin” application which ensures that parents are aware of and accept any extracurricular content that their children may receive in class.
The initiative, defended by the deputy Manuela Canadas of the Education and Universities Commission, urges the PP minority Government to “immediately put an end to any indoctrination of minors in the educational field”, through the educational inspection.
They also request the legal changes necessary to “eliminate the obstacles that prevent access to education for all Spaniards in equal conditions”, as well as to promote the revision of educational programs to adapt them to the report presented by the group d experts.
This time it did not happen like last September when the PP rejected the application of the “parental pin” in schools in the Balearic Islands, as demanded by Vox. Two months ago, the popular voted against the party’s proposal Santiago Abascal to require from all centers “the obligation to inform in advance of the carrying out of activities with religious, moral, social, civic or sexual content during class hours, and to request in writing the express prior consent of parents for the attendance of their children” for them.
The PP then also rejected the possibility of “knowing the curriculum vitae of those who will teach these activities”, as proposed by Vox’s Non-Law Proposal (NLP).
During today’s Commission, Cañadas defended that education “must respect ideological neutrality and the fundamental rights of families, ensuring that parents are primarily responsible for the moral formation of their children. According to him, the application of the “parental pin” for extracurricular activities “reinforces the right of families to decide on the exposure of their children to certain content”.
For Vox, these measures represent “significant progress” in the defense of an education “free from all indoctrination and respectful of family values”.
For her part, the deputy Més per Mallorca Maria Ramon criticized the fact that “after linguistic segregation, PP and Vox continue to want to control what is taught in schools and accuse teachers of indoctrination”. “We won’t pass through here,” he said.
In this sense, the separatists considered that the reason for the PNL promoted by Vox and approved with the amendments of popular This is to “discredit” the education system and the task of teaching.
“Stop creating conflicts where there are none, stop using children, let professionals do their job and get education and the educational community out of their hateful obsessions,” concluded the MP.
The Education Commission also unanimously approved a PNL of the PP which urges the Sector Department to provide the public and subsidized centers of the Balearic Islands with “sufficient and necessary” resources and, where appropriate, to maintain or increase the resources and. the “sufficient” allocation to achieve inclusive education.
Likewise, the Chamber asked (with the abstention of the separatists of Més per Menorca) the ministry to pay the additional tutoring action for teachers in subsidized centers and, on the other hand, urges the Executive to prioritize and finance the creation, consolidation and support of places for the first cycle of preschool education in public nursery schools until there is sufficient public supply.
Finally, it was approved to ask the Government to increase the tutoring action supplement for teachers in centers supported by public funds and the hours of attention dedicated to tutoring care.
Parliament also approved the urgent request from the government, island councils and municipalities to increase emergency aid aimed at mitigating the effects of the recent crisis. floods that occurred in the Sahrawi refugee camp of Dakhla, located in the Algerian desert.
This was accepted by the Social Affairs Committee, with votes for all groups except Vox refusing and one vote against and one abstention from the unaffiliated MP. Agustin Buades. The no-law proposal (PNL) was presented by the PP, the PSOE, the MÉS for Mallorca and the Més for Menorca and was defended by the Socialist Party. Omar Lamin.
The four points of the proposal were approved, which initially include a demonstration of “support and solidarity” with the Sahrawi people of Parliament, in particular the families affected by the floods that occurred at the end of September, and their commitment to “the defense of human rights and social justice.
In this way, the green light was also given to encourage the Regional Executive, island institutions and municipalities to “actively collaborate” with NGOs like the Red Crescent Sahrawis and “to increase emergency aid to mitigate the effects of flooding and financing for basic necessities” such as food, drinking water, tents and medicine.
