MADRID, 5 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The president of the Popular Party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, defended this Wednesday, in a meeting with the Assembly for a Bilingual School (AEB), a “cordial bilingualism” that is “essential” to recover peaceful coexistence in Catalonia, emphasizing that the “compliance” with the Constitution is “the best tool for students to study in Catalan and Spanish”.
In the meeting that the PP leader held with the president of the AEB, Ana Losada, Feijóo expressed the party’s support “in the defense of Spanish as the vehicular language throughout Spain” and has promised to “work together” for that objective, within “a normative framework that recognizes linguistic rights”. The association, in the words of its maximum responsible, has also shared the “cordial bilingualism” defended by the ‘popular’.
In a statement, the PP has insisted on its defense of compliance with the Constitution as “the best tool for students in Catalonia to be able to study in Catalan and Spanish”, “always respecting”, as they have recalled, “the rulings of the courts of Justice”.
At this point, those of Feijóo have pointed out that the Popular Party has already filed an appeal of unconstitutionality against the laws with which the Generalitat, according to the PP, “forces linguistic immersion and a monolingual education in Catalan”.
The leader of the PP has lamented that the Government “has not made use of its constitutional prerogative” to “stop this separatist imposition” and has insisted on a “real and balanced bilingualism in” all of Spain “.
These Feijóo meetings take place about two weeks after the demonstration that the Escuela de Todos platform convened in mid-September in Barcelona under the slogan ‘Spanish, vehicular language’.
Leaders of the PP, Cs and Vox attended that call, although the formation of Inés Arrimadas and that of Santiago Abascal, criticized the president of the PP for his absence in that march. Feijóo closed that same day the Inter-parliamentary of the PP in Toledo and, in his place, he sent the general secretary of the PP and spokesman in Congress, Cuca Gamarra.
The ‘popular’ have supported cases like the Canet boy from the outset. In this case, he accused the Government of Pedro Sánchez of leaving the minor “abandoned”, who was being harassed after his parents requested 25% of classes in Spanish.
