Just 20 days after their public announcement, the five laws of the "reformist agenda" promoted by PP and Vox in Les Corts Valencianes already have a date for their first parliamentary debate. It will be in the plenary session next week with the consideration of the five legislative proposals that have caused so much commotion in the opposition - which has called them "aberrant" and has already announced that it will take some of them to court. .
PP and Vox do not want to be distracted and, aware that PSPV and Compromís will do everything possible to delay the procedures, they have placed all the legislative proposals on the agenda of the next plenary session with the intention that the regulations can be in force before it ends. the period of sessions (next July 15).
In fact, one of the laws - the Education Law, which is more difficult to implement - already foresees that some of its changes can be introduced in the coming year, although the bulk of the modifications regarding the vehicular language of teaching will not be implemented. until the 2025-2026 academic year.
The other propositions whose debate will begin in the Valencian Chamber on April 17 are the Concord Law, and the regulations that provide for structural changes in regional television, in the Anti-Fraud Agency and in the Compatibility Law.
All this after Les Corts received the favorable opinion of the Consell after its meeting on Tuesday (a circumstance that forced the celebration of the Board of Ombuds ordered by the plenary session to be changed to another day).
Faced with criticism from the opposition - which has accused the members of the Consell of even shortening the deadlines for citizen participation given their "rush" -, Vox spokesperson Miguel Barrachina has defended that a normal parliamentary calendar will be followed with its three plenary debates (taking into consideration, amendment to the whole, partial amendments and approval) and their respective committees. "The same one that was followed with the 36 law proposals presented by the Botànic groups," replied the popular leader.
However, Compromís and PSPV have made clear their intention to try to delay the process. The socialists have announced that they will request reports from statutory bodies such as the Consell Valencià de Cultura (CVC) or the Acadèmia Valenciana de la Llengua (AVL) so that they can "voluntarily" comment on the texts presented. Furthermore, they want all those associations and entities that consider themselves harmed to be able to make their discrepancies public.
Given these strategies, Barrachina has reiterated that his party is willing to look for common ground and has encouraged the opposition to "stop insulting and get to work" because the PP is willing to accept amendments that correct its texts.
What has not been clear this Wednesday is whether Vox will support the proposal for changes in the Anti-Fraud Agency presented by "the PP unilaterally." His spokesperson, José María Llanos, has avoided commenting on whether his group will support her, while Barrachina has appealed to the "loyalty" of his partners. "We get along very well," concluded the head of the popular parliamentary group in Les Corts.
