- The PSOE has presented a legislative proposal to cancel the LOMCE revaluations. And thanks to the votes of the opposition, the Spanish Congress has embarked on a path to halt the timetable for the implementation of the law.
The proposal has had the support of Ciudadanos, Podemos and all other parties except the PP. The PP argues that the suspension of the law would result in a significant loss of money. A few months ago, Ciudadanos and the PSOE signed an agreement in which they determined that they want to stop LOMCE.
The proposal received 208 votes in favour and 133 against. Therefore, the Spanish Congress has embarked on the path of suspension of the revalidations. It was only the first vote. Then he'll go to the Senate and then back to Congress.
The PSOE spokesman, Antonio Hernando, said that they want to “definitively eliminate” the revaluations. The PSOE has also asked the government to draft an education bill, but “after a process of dialogue and negotiation.” Mariano Rajoy himself announced a “national pact” in education during the investiture session.
On November 8, the Spanish Ministry of Education published a draft decree explaining the terms of the revaluation. On 24 November, the heads of the Autonomous Communities and the Ministry will meet to discuss this issue.
