The PSOE-Aragón has demanded this Wednesday the immediate withdrawal of a promotional video prepared by the General Directorate of Depopulation, in the hands of Vox, in which the recreation of the classroom of the national-Catholic school of the rural school is used as the image of the rural school. Pedagogical Museum of Aragon in Huesca.
For the socialists, it is a “genuine scandal” that gives a “reviled and stale” image of the community, which is why they ask for its withdrawal.
The classroom shown in the video includes a crucifix, a painting of the Virgin, a piggy bank of the Holy Childhood - which is the head of a black child - and portraits of José Antonio Primo de Rivera and Francisco Franco, although the latter have been blurred, according to the socialist deputy spokesperson, Darío Villagrasa.
The PSOE is alarmed that the example that they wanted to show of rural education is this, the “living image of the Francoist school”, instead of the current classrooms, which are innovative centers, with all the services and benefits, access to technology and that it is functional thanks to the “commendable effort” of rural teachers.
Likewise, Villagrasa showed his “indignation and shame” for a new chapter of exaltation of the Franco regime that adds to the statements made by the general director of Justice on her social networks in which she made an apology for it before becoming part of the team. of government. “It rains and it pours and the government should take a look,” she added.
In addition to the school, the socialists criticized the rest of the footage, where some of the rural trades are represented by an anvil, a bread oven and a tractor and which, according to the PSOE, has an aesthetic and a sound that "refers to the Node ”.
It is “disrespectful” and “far removed from the reality” of the Aragonese rural environment, which is “diverse, technological and advanced,” added Villagasa, himself mayor of a town (Bujaraloz) of about a thousand inhabitants.
On his Twitter account, the Aragonese vice president and counselor of Territorial Development, Depopulation and Justice, the ultra Alejandro Nolasco, replied to Villagrasa to stop making aesthetic judgments, "always subjective," and that he be the one to ask for forgiveness "for military reasons." in a party that betrays Aragon and Spain on a daily basis.”
Nolasco, who today also called the 'mini-transfer' project proposed a few days ago by the Generalitat to irrigate the Priorat as "cacicada", is traveling to Brussels to participate in an event of the European Network of Regions with Demographic Challenges, which is held in the Permanent Delegation of Spain in the Belgian capital.
