The PP blocks Vox's latest attempt to pass the law for Spanish in schools

PalmVox will force a vote on its proposed law to introduce Spanish as the language of instruction in schools, even though it knows it will not pass. The People's Party (PP) insisted on Wednesday that it will vote against the measure. Nevertheless, the bill will go to the plenary session on Tuesday. Vox wants to highlight the PP's opposition in the Catalan Parliament.

The PP spokesperson, Sebastià Sagreras, emphasized that this will be their vote. "We will maintain the position we stated from the beginning; the PP will vote against its admission for processing," he said. "We respect their right to present it, but this is not the budget agreement." The Popular Party maintained that the legislation proposed by Vox goes beyond the commitments made and that its wording attacks the Minimum Standards Decree and the Law on Linguistic Normalization, red lines for Marga Prohens's government.

"All we ask is that it be debated."

"All we've asked of the PP is that this law be admitted for processing, that it be debated in Parliament," insisted Vox spokesperson Manuela Cañadas. Regarding the negotiations over the spending cap, she simply said they are "tired." "Politics is exhausting: we're tired of seeing how the bureaucracy works, how slow everything is, because of the citizens' haste," she lamented. "We are prepared to either overturn a spending cap, approve it, hold elections, or continue."
