The PNV and the PSOE have recently voted in Congress in favour of the education law LOMLOE, but in the Government of Navarra and in the Government of Navarra these parties will do the opposite of what is stated there, according to STEILAS: they will allocate public money to centers that seduce by sex. The union has demanded that they “exercise our competences as a people to build a more just society and to strengthen public services.”

The condemnable attitude of Gaztelueta's leadership

In the CAV, EUR 12 million will be allocated among six schools: Arangoya de Bilbao, Ayalde and Munabe de Loiu, Erain de Irun, Eskibel de Donostia and Gaztelueta de Leioa. The fact that the latter center receives public money will also affect more than one, as the center has had a condemnable attitude to the sexual assaults suffered by a student by Gaztelueta’s professor: among other things, it “pushed” 25 students and teachers to sign a document that rejected the complaint, and even created a website to show their support to the teacher and to show that the victim lied. Subsequently, it has been proved in the courts that the female student suffered sexual abuse by the female professor.

“They are not discriminatory”

Every year public money has been directed to these centers and the former Education Counselor of the Basque Government Cristina Uriarte said that the centers that separate by sex are not discriminatory, that not financing these centers with public money would be a disadvantage for these families. The question is that from now on, ignoring the education law approved in the Spanish Congress, they will continue to fund these centers?

STEILAS (PPE). — (DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I should like to begin by congratulating Mr Steilas on his excellent report.
