The

orange tide

gains strength against the Celaá Law for, among other reasons, defending concerted education.

On Thursday he already mobilized in front of Congress, and this Sunday he has done so taking the streets of most of the provincial capitals.

More than thirty simultaneous protests.

In them, tens of thousands of families from all over the country have demonstrated in their vehicles and honk their horns against the educational reform to demand the freedom of parents to choose the education of their children.

The epicenter of the demonstrations has been Madrid, where thousands of cars have collapsed the Paseo de la Castellana between the squares of Cibeles and Cuzco.

Traffic congestion in the capital has spread through the adjacent streets, where hundreds of vehicles arrived in caravans that have departed from many educational centers.

Where families have coordinated to go together to the protest.

"It is impressive how Madrid is collapsing," admits

María Concepción Monjas

, vice president of Catholic Schools and director of a school of the Daughters of Charity.

The follow-up has been even higher than expected.

The overcrowding and the high number of participants has been, in his opinion, proof that the new norm has "a lot of ideological and little pedagogical charge."

"Socially it is a law that bothers", sentence.

Waving flags and orange motifs, and always under the blare of horns, the protesters have reproached the points of the reform that directly affect concerted education, such as the elimination of the family fee, the disappearance of social demand or the "postponement of the teaching of religion", as denounced by the organizers of the march.

The demonstrations this weekend in numerous provincial capitals is the first major milestone of the protests.

The families plan to continue throughout the fall against the 'Celaá Law' within a campaign with the slogan 'More Plural, More Free, More Equal'.

The objective is to try to paralyze the reform for being "strongly interventionist", they emphasize, in the "restriction of citizen rights and freedoms" and for "attacking the plurality of our educational system".

PP: "We will repeal it as soon as we govern"

The PP, Vox and Ciudadanos go hand in hand with these demands.

The three parties already voted against it last Thursday and this Sunday they supported the protests and supported the demonstrations with the presence of some of their main leaders.

The PP has made the greatest display by bringing together its first swords in the Madrid demonstration, with the party's president,

Pablo Casado

at the head.

With him, the mayor of Madrid and national spokesman,

José Luis Martínez-Almeida

;

and the president of the Community of Madrid,

Isabel Díaz Ayuso

.

Casado has assured that they will do "everything possible" in the communities governed by the PP to "avoid the ravages" of Le Ley Celaá and limit its impact as much as possible, given that the autonomies have educational powers and have certain room for maneuver.

Likewise, he has indicated that his party will raise a judicial battle in the Constitutional Court and in the European institutions.

In statements to the media during the protest, Casado has promised that the PP will repeal the Celaá Law as soon as it "takes time to come to the government", but, until then, he has demanded that Pedro Sánchez "listen" to the demands of the families.

Because, he lamented, the Celaá Law is "bad for the future, for national unity and for educational quality."

Other members of the PP leadership have also supported the demonstrations in other provinces of Spain.

Thus, the general secretary of the PP,

Teodoro García Egea

, has been part of the Murcia convocation, and the spokesperson for the Popular Group in Congress,

Cuca Gamarra

, has been in that of Logroño.

Vox designates the PP as "co-responsible"

Vox has also strongly joined the orange tide protests with national and regional leaders and deputies, although

Santiago Abascal

has not been there

.

The Vox spokesperson in Congress,

Iván Espinosa de los Monteros

, has attacked the educational reform and has affirmed that they will present an appeal to the Constitutional Court for compromising the freedom of families.

"In Spain we have a great raw material, which are the Spanish, who deserve a quality education and freedom and do not deserve this attack on Spanish, concerted education and special education," he has sentenced in statements collected by Europe Press.

Espinosa de los Monteros has taken advantage of the appointment to reproach the PP, noting that "many of those responsible for the situation" are protesting against this law today.

"Some even who govern in autonomous communities where exactly the same measures that are criticizing the 'Celaá Law' are put into practice, today they intend to protest against this law," he said.

"Vox will appeal this law in all its aspects and will reverse it by putting into practice an authentic education law that educates Spaniards in equality and freedom," he concluded.

Cs denounces the "intrusion" of the PSOE

Ciudadanos, without

Inés Arrimadas

, has been represented in Madrid by

Begoña Villacís

.

The vice mayor of the capital has denounced the "intrusion" of the PSOE into the "freedom" of parents to choose the education they want for their children.

"The PSOE can not allow itself to supplant parents can not throw itself the right to decide for us," said Villacís, in statements collected by Servimedia, where he has stated that it is not a debate between public and concerted, but "freedom."

The PSOE urges the PP not to encourage "contempt" and to stop the "lies" about the Celaá Law

SERVIMEDIA / Madrid

The PSOE has asked the PP to stop encouraging "contempt" against the Celaá Law and telling "lies" about the educational reform because its position generates "uncertainties" for families.



"Go back to moderation, and stop such extreme positions more typical of the extreme right than a government party and that aspires to be a state party", because "the application" of a law approved by the absolute majority cannot be questioned Congress, the PSOE spokesperson in Education, Luz Martínez Seijo, has stated.



The socialist deputy, in charge of taking the helm of the parliamentary negotiation of this norm, has argued that the Lley Celaá takes a "huge leap" towards a modern educational system and that it supposes an "equitable and inclusive model that guarantees education for all".

Seijo has denounced that the "lies" of the Popular Party against this law because "it does not go along the lines denounced by the right" but, on the contrary, "guarantees" the teaching of Spanish, concerted and special education.
