The People’s Party (PP) and Vox’s roadmap to leave Catalan defenceless in the classroom in the Valencian Community is beginning to bear the first fruits. The new Valencian government’s education minister, PP’s José Antonio Rovira, explained on Thursday that he will eliminate the compulsory 25% Valencian quota as the main language for students who have asked not to take the subject in question. To do so, he will modify the law on multilingualism approved in 2018 by the government formed by the Valencian Socialists, Compromís and Unidas Podemos.
“The law on use and teaching, which dates from 1983, recognizes the exemption from studying the Valencian subject for students from municipalities in eight Valencian regions in which Catalan is testimonial or residual: Alto Palancia (Castelló); Plana de Utiel, Rincón de Ademuz, Foia de Bunyol, Vall de Cofrents, Els Serrans and Canal de Navarrés (Valencia), and Baix Segura (Alicante),” said El Nacional En.
