Good and bad news in Parliament, by Jordi Mercader

The good news is that the linguistic immersion law agreed by ERC-Junts, PSC and Comuns allows for the recovery of political transversality in the Parliament, a practice that has been forgotten since the imminence of the Catalan republic was hastily announced. In addition, the spirit of the law will be adjusted (with an elementary play on words) to the reality of the Catalan school which, over time and from center to center, has been adapting the weight of the two official languages, without the need for judicial percentages, only with the will of the teachers to attend to the social environment. The bad news is that the Catalan government confuses the audience with its false resistanceism, trying to show that with this initiative the consequences of the sentence of 25% of Castilian will be stopped.

The sentence is firm and the tiny but spirited battalion of Catalans who suffer (unnecessarily) from the disappearance of Spanish in the classrooms of Catalonia will be responsible for making it noticeable. What is relevant now is to know how the TSJC understands the new legal text. To help their lordships, the government of Aragonès prepares a supplementary decree that, not being able to proclaim literally disobedience to 25%, it will present itself pompously as the strongest opposition ever seen to a sentence.

The PSC is the party that is most at stake in this parliamentary maneuver designed to respond to a sentence that is clearly an improper interference and random in pedagogical matters, but which responds to the numerous unheeded warnings about the necessary adaptation of immersion to current circumstances, created, among other factors, by the success of Catalan immersion itself. In his attempt to regain political centrality, the socialists are committed to safeguarding one of the great consensuses of Catalan politics and avoiding a pitched battle at school, even suspecting (it is assumed) that his circumstantial allies can compromise him before the rooster crows.
