The Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia (TSJC) has submitted to the Constitutional Court the new Catalan law on the use of languages in schools, because it excludes Spanish as vehicular, after reproaching the Government and the Parliament for their purpose of "blocking" the application of the 25% ruling.
In accordance with the criteria of the Prosecutor's Office, the State Attorney's Office and the Generalitat itself, the high court has decided to raise an issue of unconstitutionality by the decree law of last May and the law of linguistic uses subsequently approved by the Parliament, which they avoid setting percentages for the teaching of Spanish in schools.
The TSJC considers that the new linguistic model of Catalonia, promoted by the Government after the ruling of the TSJC that imposes 25% of Spanish in the classrooms, violates the Statute of Autonomy and several articles of the Constitution, among them the fundamental right to education.
