Discrepancies in the PSOE on the model of immersion in the Catalan school<br>
The presidents of Aragon, Castilla-La Mancha and Extremadura defend that<br>
Catalan parents can choose Spanish as a vehicular language 17 February 2018<br>
Saturday 07:00 - 172 reads. Discrepancies in the PSOE on the model of<br>
immersion in the Catalan school 0 0 The controversy over model of<br>
linguistic immersion in Catalan school that has agitated Government with<br>
its intention to intervene via 155 has provoked discrepancies in PSOE.<br>
While Federal Directorate and PSC refuse that executive can use this<br>
constitutional precept to modify linguistic model in teaching in Catalonia,<br>
three Socialist regional presidents present on Saturday in Federal<br>
Committee — Aragon, Castilla-La Mancha and Extremadura — have shared need<br>
for Catalan parents to choose ir children to receive classes with Spanish<br>
as a vehicular language. Although only Aragonese president, Javier Lambán,<br>
defends that state should intervene now to secure it. "Castilian is being<br>
unfair and illegally abused by Generalitat of Catalonia. is being postponed<br>
in Catalan school and this is unacceptable. The state has to return to<br>
Catalonia, from which it has long gone, if we want Catalonia in medium and<br>
long term is not a insoluble problem, "he has defended Lambán in statements<br>
to journalists at exit of Federal Committee. More information The PSOE does<br>
not support implementation of 155 to end linguistic immersion in Catalonia<br>
Sánchez defends his model: "A PSOE close to its militants is a PSOE close<br>
to its voters" In opinion of socialist president, intervention of State as<br>
of article 155 in Catalonia allows to enforce sentences that require that<br>
at least 25% of classes in Catalonia are taught in Castilian. "Restoring<br>
state in Catalonia is that state exerts its powers in Catalonia as it<br>
exerts m in whole of country, and that in Catalonia law is fulfilled. There<br>
is a judgement of Constitutional Court that states that Castilian is a<br>
vehicular language just like Catalan in Catalonia and re are sentences of<br>
High Court of Justice of Catalonia that establish that at least 25% of<br>
teaching has to be taught in Castilian, "The president of Aragon has<br>
argued. President Castellanomanchego, Emiliano García Page, shares " aim of<br>
reflecting and protecting Castilian from Independentist Maw", although he<br>
does not consider that Government should now intervene in model in<br>
Catalonia. In his opinion, use of Spanish in whole of Spain must be subject<br>
of a state pact. That parents can choose language for teaching ir children<br>
is also shared by president of Extremadura, Guillermo Fernandez Vara. That<br>
would be "normal" anywhere with two official languages, he has considered.<br>
Now, however, "This is not time to raise language barricades," or to use<br>
155 for this issue. "Now it's time to add up," defended Fernandez Vara, and<br>
an action like this "more than adding divides." The PSOE has reiterated<br>
this Saturday that it does not believe that now is time to open debate on<br>
model of linguistic immersion in Catalonia, and less using for it 155.<br>
During closed-door replicas of Federal committee, Pedro Sánchez insisted<br>
that article 155 should serve to "recompose Catalan self-government, and<br>
for nothing more," according to party's sources. Miquel Iceta, first<br>
secretary of PSC, supports PSOE's position: "You cannot take advantage of<br>
implementation of 155 to change language policy in Catalan schools", he<br>
said. The Government, however, has not yet accurately raised what it would<br>
do or how to increase teaching hours of Castilian language in Catalonia:<br>
"We do not understand why government has raised this controversy when it<br>
also has no idea how to apply it," has Complained Iceta before entering<br>
Federal committee. Unlike Aragonese president, Iceta believes that "it is<br>
not way or time to raise this issue." The country has asked Iceta about<br>
President Lambán's position that Spanish is "unjustly and illegally" in<br>
Catalonia: "I disagree", has been limited to answering repeatedly Iceta.<br>
