The battle of the PP against the "Catalan countries": it will go to court for the refusal of the Senate to veto its use

• Cortes The PP accuses the Consell of subsidizing "Catalan beach bars" and asks to defend the Valencian identity signs

One of the first gestures of Carlos Mazón as the new president of the PP of the Valencian Community was to meet with the heads of the Royal Academy of Valencian Culture (RACV) and Lo Rat Penat, entities opposed to the unity of the Catalan language, and claim the

. It was the first warning that the party intended to strongly resume its traditional discourse against Catalanism, of which it accuses the Valencian Government and, in particular, against the conception of the so-called "Catalan countries". The next step will be to take the matter to court.

The PP has raised a battle in the Senate, where it had asked the Board for protection so that the initiatives that refer to the Valencian Community as

were not admitted for processing

. After rejecting the Table their request, the Valencian senators of the PP have filed an appeal requesting that their decision be reconsidered because such names are contrary to the first article of the

, which "recognizes as the only legal and correct name that of the Valencian Community" . Again, this Wednesday the Senate Board has once again opposed it, arguing that it cannot be opposed to the parliamentarians opening certain debates.

Specifically, the appeal of the PP included the literal wording of the Statute: "The Valencian People, historically organized as the Kingdom of Valencia, is constituted as an Autonomous Community, within the unity of the Spanish Nation, as an expression of its differentiated identity as historical nationality, and in the exercise of the right of self-government that the Spanish Constitution recognizes to all nationality, with the denomination of Valencian Community ".

However, the defenders of the term "País Valencià" cling to the fact that it is thus contemplated in the preamble of the Statute itself. Even so, as stated in the appeal of the

senators

, "the courts have already ruled in favor of the institutions respecting the legal denomination of the Valencian Community." The example of the

is even cited

, whose statutes had to include this last denomination. In a judgment of the Supreme Court it was established that the university document could not go against the Statute of Autonomy in this specific aspect.

Hence, the appeal of the PP against the rejection of the Senate - with the

- to prohibit alternative terms for the Valencian Community underlines: "The Senate Table cannot be excused in the absence of a precept in the Senate regulations that justifies our claim, because our only claim is to comply with the law. " In other words, "the Board cannot go against the provisions of the Valencian Constitution and Statute of Autonomy, which unequivocally determine the legal name of the Valencian Community".

Therefore, the members of the Board are warned that allowing initiatives with alternative names for the Valencian Community to be processed

.

According to the senator and secretary general of the PP in the Upper House, Salomé Pradas, "if any of these initiatives is approved it may end up having factual, legal and legislative effects contrary to what is established by the constitutional order." The

appeal itself

warns that if the Table does not reconsider its position, "the appropriate personal legal action will be brought against those who support transgressing the law."

And this is what will foreseeably happen, because the Table has resolved to reject the PP's request for the second time.

"The Bureau cannot prevent parliamentary initiatives from giving rise to a debate on those matters that parliamentarians, in the exercise of their

as public representatives, raise," it states in its motion for a resolution.

And he adds: "To pretend that no initiative can use terms that are not those included in a law or to seek objectives other than those that it has as its purpose,

, or even disagree with it, under penalty of being inadmissible for being illegal ".

But this is not the only front that the PP has opened in this sense, which has also been marked as a red line to give hypothetical support to the budgets of the left,

. The spokesperson of the PP in the Valencia City Council, María José Catalá, has demanded this Wednesday "to stop subsidizing entities that promote purposes contrary to the Constitution such as independence or the 'Catalan countries' and to allocate that money to Casa de la Charity and the Food Bank ".

Along these lines, the PP has denounced that the Valencian Government has subsidized this year with 300,000 euros to the Platform per la Llengua, which "persecutes university professors for speaking Spanish."

In total, the PP accuses the Generalitat of giving up to 7 million euros in aid to "chiringuitos pancatalanistas".
