CHA spokesperson Lasobras has defended the need to protect this tradition and guarantee the school’s continuity. “For centuries, Zaragoza was a European benchmark in the construction of string instruments, and now we have a political and moral obligation to ensure that this tradition is not lost. We cannot leave a legacy of such value to chance or one-off budgets,” she warned.
The Aragonese party is asking the regional government to guarantee stable funding for the school, academically recognize the studies it provides and facilitate its integration into the public network of artistic and technical training centers.
CHA CALLS FOR OFFICIAL PROGRAMS TO BE INTRODUCED
The initiative calls on the Parliament of Aragón to urge the regional government, within its powers, to authorize the Violería School to offer the official programs regulated by Royal Decree 300/2026 of April 8. This regulation establishes the Higher Vocational Training qualification of Higher Technician in the Design and Artisanal Construction of String Musical Instruments.
In addition, CHA proposes that the Government of Aragón work with the school and the professional sectors involved to develop the procedures needed to officially recognize the professional skills and training offered by the center.
The proposal also calls for planning with a work schedule that would enable these official programs to be effectively introduced in Aragón. To that end, it requests that funding, facilities and specialized teaching staff needs be specified. CHA insists that consolidating Zaragoza’s Violería School means investing in the future of a tradition linked to Aragón’s and Europe’s cultural heritage.
