She made the remarks about the Supreme Court’s provisional suspension of the grandchildren law, saying the regional government was pleased that “this process and the results and impact it may have” on future elections were being examined in greater depth.
VAQUERO ACCUSES GOVERNMENT OF IMITATING “AUTHORITARIAN REGIMES”
Mar Vaquero also criticized the list of journalists and political commentators revealed by El Confidencial and drawn up by the Interior Ministry, which described their media involvement and positions on the government. “This report we have learned about reminds us of the blacklists created by control and media censorship bodies typical of authoritarian regimes,” she said.
The People’s Party politician described “categorizing journalists based on their opinions” as “totally incompatible with democracy.” She also criticized the fact that, while the Interior Ministry was preparing these reports, it “failed to realize what situation was being prepared for Ceuta.”
THE PISA REPORT, “A DISASTER”
Another issue addressed by Vaquero was the recent PISA report, which she described as a “disaster.” She blamed the Spanish government and former Education Minister Pilar Alegría for “the worst results in the history of Aragon,” arguing that the current education law, “totally ideological, sectarian and removed from consensus, seriously harms families.”
The vice president promised that, “within the scope of our powers, we will try to reverse these results,” which she illustrated with the figure showing that 53% of 15-year-old students in Aragon lack reading comprehension.
Finally, Mar Vaquero announced that Economy Minister Eva Valle would present the “forceful objections” to be filed against the royal decree on data centers and said they had met with the sector while it was being drafted. She also criticized the Spanish government for “making decisions in a totally sectarian and unjustified manner that undermine the boost to the growth Aragon is currently experiencing.”
