The president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, announced on Monday the presentation of an

appeal

before the Supreme Court

against the Baccalaureate curriculum

established by the State Education Law and said that she does not rule out going to the Constitutional Court as well.

After pointing out that today is the last day to present the aforementioned appeal, he accused the Government presided over by Pedro Sánchez of

"trying to politicize everything"

, after reading the drafts of the high school textbooks.

"We are going to comply with the law but we will appeal

," said Ayuso, who said that he has spoken with the national president of his party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, about this appeal, although he did not clarify if he has his support.

She said that the PP respects that the autonomous communities make the decisions they want within their powers and clarified that she is president of the Community of Madrid "above" her party, according to Servimedia.

He added that he is presenting to the Supreme Court the Royal Decree of the Baccalaureate curriculum approved by the central Executive within the framework of the new LOMLOE educational law, understanding that "content is lacking and that there is a

high ideological burden

."

"They are blowing up the bridges between the past, the present and the future and blowing up the framework on which Spanish coexistence is based," said the president.

He pointed out that the regional government thus raises its rejection before the Supreme Court, highlighting the part of the issues prepared by the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training, since it considers that "

they leave aside essential aspects for the training of students

, especially harmful in Baccalaureate".

For this reason, it will request the precautionary suspension of the Royal Decree, in order to be able to use, in the meantime, the current textbooks.

"The debate on something so important that was conceived in the middle of an epidemic, in coalition with the most harmful thing that Spain has, and without consensus cannot be silenced," said Ayuso, who considered that

"the weakest government in democracy should not thus destroy the education of all Spaniards"

.

In his opinion, "the bottom line of all this was concocted in secret and at the worst moment, when Spain was dealing with a global crisis" and now it is being carried out "with impossible deadlines to meet,

with the worst arts

supplanting the system knowledge, knowledge and cultural heritage that connects our past, present and future between generations and with a desire for social engineering".

"We are not going to shut up"

"We are looking at how the government seeks to transform society and tailor it to its needs

," said Ayuso, who indicated that this educational reform "cannot be carried out without a great serene, plural, transparent and open national debate in which all civic forces participate, political and cultural.

"With this resource we want to make it clear that

our government is not going to remain silent

and that it is going to use all the tools of the rule of law with loyalty, but firmly and will fight for this generation so that they do not steal from the political debate the greatest transformation of Spanish society to leave it deformed to the extent of people who hate Spain and the cultural building that the freest, most democratic and prosperous Western countries have given us," he said.

Another of the complaints from the Community of Madrid is that the

delay in the approval of the state Royal Decrees

has caused publishers to start working on books with what is established by the central Executive, without taking into account what corresponds to the autonomous communities. , which is currently being developed.

Given the lack of essential material, he pointed out, the Madrid Executive continues with the elaboration of its part of the Baccalaureate curriculum decree, introducing important novelties.

Educational inspection review

He explained that

the Madrid Educational Inspection service will review the new textbooks

through a special plan, since their supervision and that of other curricular materials is the responsibility of the educational administrations, which must ensure respect for the principles and values ​​of the Constitution and the provisions of the law.

The Minister of Education,

Enrique Ossorio

, who accompanied Ayuso at the press conference, said that the response to the appeal may take more than a year and pointed out that, for this reason, they have requested the precautionary suspension "of the application of the aforementioned curriculum.

He added that

the curricula are "loaded with ideology and without basic knowledge for students. They remove knowledge and add ideology

. "

"Even the Council of State has openly questioned these curricula for their lack of specificity and for their ideological bias, agreeing with the complaints we have been making," he stressed.
