Isabel Díaz Ayuso has abounded this Tuesday in her educational crusade against the central government. The president of the Community of Madrid hopes that the Supreme Court agrees with her in the appeal that she has filed against the Baccalaureate curriculum, although she added that, if she does not prosper, she needs “people to talk about this”.
“We have asked for protection because we are in a state of law. I protect the courts, if only because nobody says anything, nobody is doing absolutely nothing to stop the outrage to which they are subjecting the education of all Spanish students”, he pointed out. in statements to Cadena Cope.
Ayuso trusts that the Supreme Court’s decision will be favorable to him. “It is hoped that they will see that this requires at least some precautionary measures and, therefore, the textbooks of this course will be retained and those of the previous course will continue until this is resolved (…) That is what the rule of law, to settle the differences in the different bodies and judicial instances”.
This possibility is remote, according to sources from the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training (FP), who recall that the Lomloe was approved by an absolute majority and that the high school decrees, like the rest, which have not been appealed, have passed through the Council of State, the School Council and by the autonomous communities.
If, finally, the Supreme courts his appeal, Ayuso will not delay compliance with the law. “We are not going to incur in any type of refusal and obviously we will comply. We do not want to take the Community of Madrid to the extremes to which they are reaching, for example, from the Government of the Generalitat and, therefore, we would comply with the rules, but we want to prevent these books from entering classrooms,” he stressed.
Ayuso’s argument for filing the appeal focuses on the alleged “high ideological burden and great lack of knowledge” of the educational plan that, he insisted, “was devised during the pandemic and without consensus at the hands of the weakest government in democracy “.
The president did not specifically detail on what aspects the resource on the curricular development of the Celaá law will be based, rather than “violates principles of the Constitution” such as those of “freedom”, “justice”, “equality” and “political pluralism “.
But the Madrid leader has insisted that her decision to appeal this “outrage against education” is useful because it serves to open a national debate on this issue.
After stating that his initiative has the support of the national president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, he criticized the statements of the Minister of Education, Pilar Alegría, in which he said that the president of the Community of Madrid is dedicated to “generating noise” , and urged him to be “capable of arguing without personal disqualifications.” “As the members of Pedro Sánchez’s government get smaller, they get more brutalized,” he concluded.
That support from his party, however, has not been reflected in supporting his initiative. And none of the other autonomous governments presided over by the PP will cooperate in the judicial battle. Neither the Junta de Andalucía, nor the Xunta de Galicia, nor the government of Murcia nor the Junta de Castilla y León have filed appeals in that direction.
