The agents argue the right to family conciliation when they are assigned to Catalonia and do not find schools in Spanish

Jucil, the professional association of Civil Guard agents, and the entities Catalan Civic Coexistence and We speak Spanish will present this Monday before the TSJC a judicial request for the forced execution of the sentence that obliges the Government to apply 25% of the classes in Spanish . The police union joins the request that the Escuela de Todos platform will also make in this regard, which advocates a bilingual model in schools in Catalonia and has advised some of the parents of students who have claimed through the justice a greater presence of Spanish in the classrooms of their children, as the justice ruled in the case of a center in Canet de Mar (Barcelona).

The controversy over Spanish at school is once again in the judicial sphere, after the latest movements by both the Generalitat and the entities that defend bilingualism. The Government promoted this week an in extremis response to justice to try to circumvent the sentence. The day before the two-month term expired to enforce compliance with the ruling on 25% of classes in Spanish, PSC, ERC, Junts and the commons registered a proposal to reform the 1998 language policy law, with which they ensure that they comply with the court ruling, since for the first time they recognize Spanish as the teaching language at school, although they do not set any percentage as required by the ruling.

It remains to be seen what justice establishes in relation and if with the proposal for legal modification and a decree approved by the Generalitat the TSJC considers the sentence fulfilled. Escuela de Todos already warned days ago that despite the legal initiative of the Generalitat, together with the Catalanist parties, it will urge the forced execution of the sentence, since it indicated that two months after the term granted by the justice, the presence of the Spanish in schools it continues to be limited to the subject of Spanish language. “The bill does not eliminate the need for the sentence to be carried out,” he said, since in his opinion it only satisfies it if a quarter of the teaching is taught in Spanish.

Each educational center decides

The regulatory change establishes that it will be each center that will determine whether or not to increase Spanish as the vehicular language. “No legislative amendment can replace the effective compliance with the sentence,” they concluded from the entities that advocate ending the immersion model, which is based on teaching all subjects in Catalan. The collective demand of Escuela de Todos brings together 1,500 families. The Catalan Civic Coexistence, We speak Spanish and the Civil Guard union will be based “on the right to family reconciliation” of police officers. The argument that this entity puts on the table is that in the current situation, “it is difficult” for police officers from state bodies stationed in Catalonia to transfer their families to Catalonia, “because they do not have educational centers at their disposal where they can educate them according to to current legislation, something that clearly violates their right to family reconciliation.

According to the police union, in August 2021, the Ministry of the Interior recognized that there was a problem with the family conciliation of National Police and Civil Guards in Catalonia as a consequence of the “linguistic problem”. This organization points out that the deadlines set for the voluntary execution of the sentence by the Generalitat have elapsed and it is “notorious and evident that the administration has not complied, nor does it intend to comply”. Hence his intention to file a petition before the TSJC and urges the justice to require “personally and individually” all the directors of educational centers in Catalonia to comply with the sentence in their “strict terms from the following quarter, with all the corresponding warnings, indicating that they inform the court within ten days of what specific measures they have adopted».
