  • The decree of Catalan fulminates the only neuropediatra in Ibiza

Catalan must be a requirement to access a public square in the Balearic health. The Balearic Superior Court of Justice has sentenced it thus when considering the Catalan decree in the sanity for considering it «contrary to law». Thus, the justice dictates that the official must demonstrate a management similar to that of the patient who requires it. "The required training concerns both ad extra and ad intra relations," he says. Therefore, among civil servants - in Health, many of you come from the peninsula - communication in Catalan must also be encouraged and guaranteed.

This news calls into question the efforts of the socialist president Francina Armengol to mediate the complaints of the toilets for this requirement and the demands of their nationalist partners of Més per Mallorca . From Més they demand the application of the Law of Public Function of 2016 for the hiring of sanitary personnel, that establishes that the opponents to the Balearic sanitary system must accredit before submitting to the exam, at least, a B2 of Catalan.

The demands of the nationalists provoked numerous complaints in the Balearic society and in the health collective. Medical unions such as Simebal always denounced that demanding a B2 to qualify for a place made it even more difficult for health workers and specialists from outside the Balearic Islands to come to the community, which already has a significant deficit of professionals.

Armengol tried to throw in the middle street with this decree that established a moratorium of two years to obtain the B1 level once the place was achieved, so that Catalan was considered a merit. If this condition was breached, it would penalize the owner of the place to participate in internal promotion processes, transfer competitions or the professional career.

This last aspect motivated the denunciation of the CSIF civil servants' union, which understood that this initiative «penalized the rights to the professional career and the mobility of health personnel». The Balearic justice gives them the reason and entrust the application of the Law of Public Function.

The sentence, which can be appealed before the Supreme Court, establishes in its third section that “the conservation of language diversity, that is, bilingualism, is not achieved by the sole declaration of officiality but it is necessary to establish both intervention measures as safeguard or promotion measures ».

In the following section, it states that the knowledge of the Catalan language "as a requirement" is "constitutionally lawful". In addition, it states that "the level of knowledge required must be proportionate to that which specifies the type and level of the function or position to perform."
