The "reformist agenda" promoted by PP and Vox landed yesterday in the Valencian Parliament with the taking into consideration of the five laws proposed by the members of the Consell and highlighted the abyss that currently separates the two ideological blocks that coexist in Les Corts Valencianes. Today the vote will take place and, with the support of the parliamentary majority that supports the Government of Carlos Mazón, the five regulations of great political significance will begin their parliamentary journey with the intention of being approved before the summer.
The controversial Law of Concord that seeks to recognize the victims of all political and ideological persecution - not only those of the civil war and Franco's regime -; the law to change the linguistic model in teaching; The rules to change the structures of À Punt and the Anti-Fraud Agency or the text that alters the transparency obligations of public officials are already beginning their parliamentary journey.
This set of laws will mark the period of sessions - there will still be two more debates in plenary plus those that will take place in committee - and will mean an acceleration of legislative activity after the approval of the Budget and the fiscal changes of the first part of the mandate of Mazon. The fact that the proposals are presented as bills of parliamentary groups and not as bills of the Government allows for shortening times, but also controls, since reports from bodies such as the Consell Jurídic Consultiu (CJC) are not necessary. A practice that the opposition now denounces and that in its day the PP also censored when it was the Botànic that abused this type of procedures.
The successive debates yesterday in Les Corts Valencianes already made palpable the open gap between right and left and the difficulty of both blocs being able to reach significant agreements on these laws that are beginning to be processed - the entire process of amendments is missing - or others subjects. Regarding the renewal of the six expired statutory bodies, there is no known progress and there is still no appointment for Mazón's meeting with the new general secretary of the PSPV, Diana Morant, despite the fact that it has been 24 days since the formal request for a meeting.
The interventions in the speakers' gallery made clear the distance between blocks. There were gross accusations and civil war language was used in the replies; In fact, the so-called Concord Law brought everything but concord to the regional Parliament. "Heirs of Francoism", promoters of "linguistic imposition", "totalitarians", "sectarians", were some of the adjectives that were used during the more than three hours of discussion in the Chamber, as well as expressions such as "robbing hands full", "they will end up in Picassent, Albòcasser or Fontnivel (prisons)" or "this law is rubbish".
To all this we must add that in at least two of the laws, there is an underlying threat of ending up in the courts once they are ratified by the legislature.
And yesterday there was no middle ground in Les Corts in a session with the benches very willing to cheer on their own and interrupt political rivals. For PSPV it was an "infamous day"; for Compromís, the beginning of "a black era for the Valencian people"; while for the PP, an "extremely happy day" and for Vox, "a historic day."
