Vox, through the ‘Patriots For Europe’ group, has formally requested the appearance of the Minister of Education of the Catalan Generalitat, Esther Niubóbefore the Commission of Petitions (peti) of the European Parliament to “explain its repeated negative to fulfill the judicial resolutions and respect the fundamental rights of the Spanish -speaking students in Catalonia«.
What Vox defines as «totalitarian derives of separatism in educational matters »has been repeatedly denounced by the party. In December 2023, a MEP delegation visited Catalonia to evaluate the situation of families to receive education in Spanish and the compatibility of the linguistic immersion model with the principles of multilingualism, not discrimination and rule of law.
The resulting report of this mission demanded that the Generalitat guarantee teaching in Spanish, establish a Real dialogue With affected families, eliminate discrimination against Spanish -speaking students and respect the judicial sentences that impose a minimum of Spanish teaching.
«However, far from complying with these recommendations and acting in accordance with the principles of the European Union, the Ministry of Education, led by Esther Niubó, has redoubled its offensive against Spanish in the classroom. His Ministry has imposed sanctions on the educational centers that have tried to offer bilingual educationhas approved regulations that further restrict the use of Spanish and has belittled the judicial resolutions of the Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia that require at least 25% teaching in Spanish, ”denounces the party.
«His policy not only attacks linguistic rights of thousands of children, but seeks the total eradication of Spanish in the educational field as part of the separatism rupture strategy, ”they add.
In this sense, Vox denounces that this “outrage” is not only a “flagrant violation of the rights of Spaniards in Cataloniabut a challenge to European law and absolute contempt for the rule of law ».
Therefore, they point out, «we demand the appearance of Esther orubó before the commission of requests of the European Parliament To accounts for its sectarian management, its refusal to respect judicial resolutions and their attack on the linguistic rights of Catalans ».
