Spanish will cease to be the vehicular language of education and the official language of the State.

This was agreed this afternoon in the fourth and last presentation of the Celaá Law that has been held in Congress.

The transactional amendment agreed between PSOE, United We Can and ERC has gone ahead by a majority of 26 votes in favor, 16 against and the PNV abstaining.

It has obtained the support of parties such as Bildu, Más País, Compromís or the BNG, while the PP, Ciudadanos and Vox have voted against.

These parties will appeal the law to the Constitutional Court because they consider that it is an "outrage" of the fundamental rights of students that undermines educational freedom.

The text that has been agreed leaves in the hands of the autonomous communities the ability to control whether it is taught in Spanish in schools with a co-official language and does not enable any mechanism so that, from the State, Spanish can be used as the vehicular language of education , as the courts have established.

"The Government is handing over education in exchange for votes to strengthen its Budgets," said Cuca Gamarra, spokesman for the Popular Parliamentary Group.

"The Spanish do not deserve to pay that high price for the president to continue in Moncloa."

"The amendment seems very serious to me and we will stop it from other institutions. With fundamental rights, gentlemen of the Government, it is not marketed. And even less if they affect minors," said Marta Martín, spokesperson for Ciudadanos in Congress.

Joaquín Robles, Vox Education spokesperson in the Lower House, added that this law represents "the culmination of a linguistic immersion project that has the goal of breaking national unity through events"

In addition to the Spanish amendment, another transactional has also been approved that prevents centers that separate by sex from receiving public subsidies, despite the fact that it is a model endorsed by the Constitutional Court.

Throughout these four sessions, the rights of the concerted school have been progressively curtailed, where 25% of the students study.

A crowd of people has demonstrated at the door of Congress, led by the More Plural platform, which defends "the right of all Spaniards to freely choose the educational project they consider best for their children."

The More Plural Platform, which has brought together associations of parents of students, unions, companies and different groups, has already collected 300,000 signatures against the educational reform.

The families of special education are also preparing for the mobilization in the streets because their proposals have not been followed up during the presentation.

This group called for the elimination of an additional provision that, they denounce, will turn special education centers into mere reference centers, without the necessary resources.
