Unidas Podemos presents a proposal to prevent the Community of Madrid and the City Council from ceding public land to private and subsidized schools

The Confederal Parliamentary Group of Unidas Podemos –En Comú Podem– Galicia en Común has registered a Non-Legal Proposal (PNL) in the Congress of Deputies in which it asks the Government to address how to prevent the Madrid City Council and Community from ceding land public for the creation of private or subsidized educational centers. Something that, they say, these administrations are doing “totally free of charge.”

The training focuses on Valdebebas, Vallecas and Vicálvaro where, they say, there is a total value of public land of 29 million and the City Council and Community are carrying out “legal maneuvers” to transfer “public land to private companies” and create subsidized schools. “The City Council and the Community of Madrid thus ignore the demands of their own neighbors, who have spent years demanding more public centers in their neighborhoods, and who see how the lack of investment in public infrastructure prevails,” denounces the confederal group, which He adds that in Valdebebas there are only two public schools “that are already saturated.”

Unidas Podemos –En Comú Podem– Galicia en Común emphasizes that the two Madrid administrations “mock the law”. Thus, they express that the LOMLOE establishes that “the transfer of land for free can only be done if the educational center is public, and not for a concert or private regime.”

For this reason, they state, the City Council “has signed an agreement by which it cedes the land to the Community of Madrid”, which promotes the construction of the centers, trying to rely “on the Master Law on Educational Freedom”, approved in the Assembly , which gives it the power to “convene public tenders for the construction and management of private centers supported with public funds on endowment public land.” “In short, it completely escapes the ethical and political sense that unites the entire territory in defense of public and quality education,” denounces the group.

the topics of the day

Good morning! A day begins that continues to be marked by tensions surrounding the reform of the ‘only yes is yes’ law. We leave you here some topics from this Friday’s edition of elDiario.es:

-Only 4 out of 70 dioceses have informed the Prosecutor’s Office about cases of sexual abuse: at the end of last November, the Prosecutor’s Office asked a total of 70 dioceses for information on cases of pedophilia that they became aware of through the offices of attention to victims that Pope Francis forced to open. To date, 29 have responded – less than half – and only four of them have provided data.

-Sánchez rules out breaking the coalition but orders not to give in to Podemos on the ‘only yes is yes’ reform: the lack of agreement on the reform of the ‘only yes is yes’ law creates tensions within the Government. While the partners openly acknowledge that the most delicate moment of coexistence is taking place, President Pedro Sánchez rules out making drastic decisions that lead to an electoral advance and give a feeling of failure in this way of governing.

-Europe considers “unjustified” more than 300 permits for occupation of the coast extended by the PP amnesty: since, ten years ago, the Government of Mariano Rajoy (PP) allowed the extension of occupations that were going to expire in factories almost automatically for decades , beach bars or walkways on the coast, 346 of these permits have been extended in an “unjustified” way, according to the European Commission.

-The head of the employers’ association earns seven times more than the leaders of the majority unions: while Antonio Garamendi receives a salary of almost 400,000 euros per year, from the CCOO they report that Unai Sordo earns 55,530, and in the UGT they report that Pepe Álvarez has with a salary of 48,800.

-The risk of a stampede in Ciudadanos is transferred to Congress: the growing internal discontent among the deputies related to Bal with Inés Arrimadas and the only deputy who is faithful to him, Guillermo Díaz, is not hidden, to the point that some do not rule out abandoning the minutes and return to private life before the end of the legislature.
