The so-called ‘NGO of the Catalan” -with a declared pro-independence ideology- seeks the support of the Congress of Deputies for to spill The Educational Freedom Act Buries Language Immersion in Court Constitutional.
Besides this organization, which had already anticipated its intention, Commitments also announced on Monday its intention to present a resource of unconstitutionality
This now repealed process, giving preference to Valencians who do not have the possibility of choosing teaching in Spanish – as the regulations now propose – has been launched even in the southern area of Alicante, the one with the greatest Spanish-speaking predominance, with tricks to inflate teaching hours or with a “slow application” and postponed to overcome tensions with families, as revealed by a teacher from ABC.
“In addition to the daily activity of denouncing attacks against the linguistic rights of Valencians, the Platform speak language “He led the mobilizations in Valencian Education under the motto ‘La llengua es no tapa’,” this entity highlighted on its website.
And in this context of protest, they have placed this other parliamentary and judicial strategy: “We have started conversations with groups in Congress to obtain 50 voices which allow the educational law to be brought before the Constitutional Court.
At the regional level, they presented allegations (including an amendment in its entirety) to the new rules – which give families free choice of the language of instruction – in addition to “collaborating with opposition parties to protect Valencian everywhere”, that is, they supported the Socialists and the Compromis, who held power in the Generalitat Valenciana during the two previous legislatures.
Dealing with officials, better only in Valencian
According to him, there are “frontal attacks against Valencian by the executive of Carlos Mazón”, such as the reduction of the language requirement to officials – from title C1 to B1, less demanding – or that the regional television À Punt also broadcasts content in Spanish, as published ABC.
This “Castilianization of the Valencian Country”, according to his assessment and unofficial terms, because the new laws (the educational one and the one of the audiovisual entity) “Valencian loses weight and prestige compared to Castilian”. In addition, the so-called Simplifica plan aimed at reducing bureaucracy and streamlining procedures “also aims marginalize own language,” as they criticize on their website.
In short, this organization claims that treatment with civil servants be established exclusively in Valencian and that the administration always addresses citizens first in this language and not in Spanish, even if both are official.
Legal report
In the case of Compromís, he established contacts with the Ministry of Education and with the parliamentary groups of the Congress to present an appeal of unconstitutionality against the law on educational freedom, approved a few months ago by PP And Voice in the Valencian Cortes. This appeal to the Constitutional Court (TC) could be presented by the Government or by a minimum of 50 deputies of the Congress, the deadline being open until the end of this month.
The Valencian coalition adopted this decision after receiving a legal report “destructive” that he ordered regarding this law in which it is said that it “crushes” the legislation of the State and that “pedagogically it has no criteria”, as announced by his ombudsman in Les Corts, Joan Baldoviand its spokesperson on education, Gerard Fullana.
Concretely, the legal report commissioned by Compromís indicates that “educational freedom” is a concept addressed by constitutional rights, which the vehicular languages included in the standard “will prevent the vast majority of students from acquiring a complete command of Valencian” and that the law “does not justify why individual linguistic adaptation must be carried out”.
Other arguments of the report – according to Compromís – are that the law “eliminates the right of students in the field of predominantly Castilian linguistics to learn in Valencian”, despite the fact that there is freedom to choose one or the other. Or that – according to him – choose THE language in the exams “addresses the goal of acquiring knowledge and marginalize At faculty in the assessment.”
Finally, they believe that the elimination of the language requirement for teachers “generates a conflict that confronts the linguistic rights of citizens” and “gives a RIGHTpreferential» to get the destination civil servants intended for other autonomies.
