The dynamic of understanding that the Government intends with PP and Cs regarding the strategy and the measures to adopt to promote the reactivation of the country after the Covid-19 pandemic runs aground in social policies. The veto imposed by PSOE and Unidas Podemos to concerted education leads popular and oranges to rule out understanding in this matter.

The consensus in aspects such as Health or Europe runs aground on this issue. PP, Cs, UPN JxCat and PNV have voted against the conclusions of the social policy working group by not sharing the Government's position of proposing to increase educational investment only in public centers. The document has gone ahead thanks to the votes in favor of socialists and purple , in addition to ERC, the abstention of EH Bildu and the absence of representatives of the Mixed group in the vote.

The commitment to dialogue and consensus breaks down because of the government's veto of the concerted party. Her approach is to dedicate entirely to public education the 2 billion reconstruction funds reserved for teaching, without taking into account the concerted schools. "It is a direct attack on freedom of education and choice," said the popular deputy Rosa Romero , making it clear that there is currently no option for understanding in this matter. From the PP it is criticized that the Executive "says that it reaches out to reach agreements but then brings to Congress a bill on educational matters without consensus, and a text loaded with attacks on concerted education."

The PP president, Pablo Casado, in fact, has harshly charged the PSOE and Unidas Podemos. In his opinion, it is a "sectarian" attack against the freedom of choice of families.

In a visit to the Zorelor company, in Vitoria , together with the candidate for the Lehendakaritza of the PP + Cs coalition, Carlos Iturgaiz, Casado said that "this decision is a great mistake", "because it seriously infringes the freedom of choice of families, of the most important thing for parents, which is to be able to choose which schools our children go to. Casado stressed that in the Basque Country "there are 50% of the students whose families have decided to go to a concerted education".

"There will be no agreement," sentenced Citizen deputy Guillermo Díaz , on social policies while the government maintains its position of excluding the concerted school from aid by Covid-19. "Do not leave out the freedom of parents to choose where they want to educate their children due to ideological biases of some political ideas," she added, appealing that there is still a 48-hour margin for the Executive to "rectify".

For oranges , "leaving these teaching models out of the reconstruction agreements" is leaving them "very importantly affected". And the popular believe that "at a time when support is needed for all schools, the government wants to leave behind a very important part of the educational system, since one in four students belongs to the concerted school."

However, understanding seems unlikely. PSOE and Podemos have remained firm in their position and have charged against the popular accusing them of benefiting private interests in both the health and education fields. "Spain is the country in Europe with the most concerted centers. That of persecuting the concerted person, tell other countries, which here in Spain, no," said socialist Luisa Carcedo.

PSOE and Podemos refuse to lower their proposal

The fact that the two government partners do not seem ready to grant a gesture towards the concerted school is evident in that they have rejected an amendment by JxCat that included the measure promoted by the PSOE and United We Can to "strengthen public education as the backbone of our educational system "and in which they asked to eliminate the final sentence:" The entire increase in investment will go to directly managed public education. " Proposal that have fallen.

As this newspaper has published, the proposal of the Executive for the Commission for the Social and Economic Reconstruction of Spain is put into writing for the first time what the representatives of this teaching model have been fearing for weeks, where 25% of the students study: they have been left outside of aid and clearly at a disadvantage to face the problems of the post-Covid era.

Proposal 18.1 of the draft ensures that "the entire increase in investment will go to directly managed public education." The economic injection of 2,000 million euros to be distributed among the autonomous communities will therefore go only to the public. The Minister of Education, Isabel Celaá, had already announced that the 260 million euros to digitize the classrooms were going to be only for the public school, but the concerted one hoped that with the other 2,000 million there would be no prior vetoes.
