• Courts Judicial offensive against Gonzàlez Cambray and school directors who do not apply 25% of Spanish

Offensive on all legal fronts against the Generalitat for "once again abandoning the use of Castilian" in Catalonia.

This is how Vox considers it, which presented this Wednesday before the Constitutional Court an appeal of unconstitutionality against the decree law of the Catalan administration that regulates the use of languages ​​in schools.

The rule was agreed a few months ago to avoid the obligation for schools to apply 25% of Spanish in teaching after an order from the Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia (TSJC).

The regulations establish that each center establishes a linguistic project, which is then validated by the Department of Education, in which Catalan is the "center of gravity of the public educational service of Catalonia" and "percentages in the teaching and use of the tongues".

In addition, the Parliament agreed, with the votes of the PSC, ERC, Junts and the 'commons', a new law on the use of official languages ​​in schools in which Catalan is the only vehicular language and Spanish is "curricular" so that more subjects may be taught in that language depending on the sociolinguistic reality of each school.

However, Vox considers that the regulations contravene the Constitution since it is established that in Catalonia Catalan and Spanish are vehicular at school.

The TSJC itself raised an issue of unconstitutionality to the Constitutional Court by noting that the law "raises serious doubts about its validity due to vices of unconstitutionality."

The Generalitat is already hiding behind the regulations to stop applying the 25% to families that had obtained it by judicial decision, either in a final judgment or in a precautionary manner, despite the fact that the TSJC did not issue any resolution on each specific case and the order was still in effect.

In the presentation of the appeal before the Constitutional Court, the president of Vox, Santiago Abascal, assured that the norm is only "a stratagem" to give the schools a "legal shield" with which to be able to breach the 25% sentence and stressed that ERC and JxCat in the Government "invade and steal" powers from the State "continually", "trample" on the rights of citizens and "fail to comply" with sentences.

For his part, the president of Vox in Catalonia, Ignacio Garriga, considers that the rule "expels" Spanish from schools and for this reason he stressed that his party will continue "working so that all families in Catalonia can send their children to school in Spanish." ".

"Once again, the Catalan government allows the rights and freedoms of all Catalans to continue to be trampled on by expelling Spanish from the classrooms," Garriga stressed, adding that "once again separatism shows rebellion and legal twists and turns to continue violating the rights and freedoms of Catalans".

The appeal details that the rule violates constitutional precepts such as the right of Spaniards to know Spanish and the right to use it or article 24 of the Magna Carta that establishes the right to the execution of sentences and judicial resolutions.

In addition, it adds that "it violates the delimitation of competences" of the autonomy statutes on "co-officiality" since it must follow a "pattern of balance or equality between languages ​​without granting prevalence or preponderance to one over another."
