• Debate: What is the parental pin, the tool for parents to veto content in classrooms
  • Objection: First objector teachers to the 'parental pin' in Murcia: a rule "born of barbarism"

Several thousand people have taken this Saturday to the street in Murcia to demonstrate in favor of the 'parental pin', against indoctrination in the classroom, and to ask that the laws do not restrict the freedom of parents when choosing the Education of your children.

Thirty associations have been added to the demonstration at the national level. In front of the Delegation of the Government the reading of the manifesto of the summoning parents has taken place.

On their behalf, Juan José Gil has insisted that the demonstration has been organized by a group of parents from the Region of Murcia and that "they do not represent any political party, or any religion or association." "Parents need to demonstrate because we have rights that, in some places, are being curtailed," said Gil, who has insisted that "those rights are protected by the Spanish Constitution."

As an example, he cited that the cases happened in several educational centers in the Region of Murcia, "where many parents have presented the 'parental pin' and has not been processed, something that is worrying."

The conveners have celebrated that the call has been seconded by the Evangelical Community of all Spain and about thirty associations such as Become Hear, Christian Lawyers, Culture and Women Association or the FAPAS, "but we are not representing anyone, nor have we contacted any political party, "they insist.

The Provincial Management Commission of VOX Murcia has joined the march, with José Ángel Antelo at the head, and the deputy Lourdes Méndez, although moments before leaving, the protesters have chanted chants as 'politicians no, fathers yes'. In statements to the press, Lourdes Méndez has indicated that they have joined the demonstration of the parents because "it was VOX who demanded the 'parental pin' in the investiture pact." "What VOX asks and what parents ask for in this demonstration is that the law is fulfilled and our children are not indoctrinated," he added.

To questions from journalists, Méndez has pointed out that, for the moment, the governance agreement and the demands of VOX "are being fulfilled" and that as long as those commitments are fulfilled they will continue to support the regional government.
