Carlos Mazón did not hesitate yesterday to defend the legislative package proposed by the PP and Vox, a “reformist agenda” according to the PP and a “counter-reform” for the left, which contemplates a change of model in areas such as school linguistic policy, historical memory , the management of À Punt, transparency or the anti-fraud agency. Asked by journalists, he pointed out that the proposal for a ‘law of concord’ that will replace the current Valencian Law of Democratic Memory of 2017, aims for “less biased memory and more future of concord for all.”
“What we have proposed to all the citizens of the Valencian Community, ratifying the majority at the polls, is a reform towards harmony and freedom, because this is what came in our electoral program, it is what comes in our principles and what comes in our approach of bringing the Community together instead of continuing to separate it,” he said.
The head of the Consell has pointed out that what the ‘law of harmony’ seeks exactly is “less biased memory and more future of harmony for all” because – he said – it cannot understand a democratic memory and talk about the victims and those who have could have lost their loved ones “if we do not include, for example, the victims of ETA’s unsolved crimes in the Valencian Community, and I think this does not help harmony.”
This law of concord will cover “from 1931 to the present”, establishing the recognition of “all victims of social, political violence, terrorism or ideological and religious persecution” in the Valencian Community, according to the PP and Vox ombudsmen. , Miguel Barrachina and José Mª Llanos, and the secretary of the ‘popular’ group, Juanfran Pérez Llorca. According to the law, the processing of democratic memory processes initiated and not completed when it comes into force will automatically decline, with the exception of exhumations.
The president has also referred to the proposal for a new Educational Freedom Law that will put an end to the Botànic’s multilingualism model. “This law aims to equate in freedom and equality Valencian with Spanish, with the first and last word of the parents,” he said. “It is about educational freedom, since we have told parents in the Valencian Community that we want them to decide and not the interventionist offices of politicians.”
The head of the Consell recalled that the first thing they did was suppress the “linguistic police office, which was copied from the Catalan separatist process and look how it turned out”, and explained that in the Spanish-speaking regions “it cannot be that they are exempt from the subject of Valencian and at the same time they are obliged to teach core subjects in Valencian, since it is a contradiction in itself”.
Therefore, – Mazón has pointed out – “what we want to do is to equate the Valencian with the Castilian in freedom and equality, with the last and the first word of the parents, and that does not depend on the interventionist swing of one government and another “. “We want to be able to choose the base language, the language in which you take the exam and the center throughout the Valencian Community, which is an advance for the freedom and future competitiveness of the students,” the ‘president’ stressed.
“We are not only not deceiving anyone, but working on a law that is for everyone equally because everyone will be able to choose and not just a few who are friends of an interventionist power in the Consell de la Generalitat,” he insisted.
