The municipal formation Gent of Dénia He has presented the first draft of what will be an electoral program for the 28M elections, but its entirety, for the moment, is kept secret. However, they have wanted to advance to the media five of their projects with which they opt to take over the Mayor's Office. Among them, an old acquaintance stands out that seemed like a thing of the past but that returns in the campaign: the linguistic requirement.
Gent de Dénia has decided to put back on the table the question of the requirement to know Valencian, demonstrating it with the corresponding official qualification, to access public official positions. This requirement It has been approved in Dénia since August 2019when the PSPV y Compromís they voted to establish a filter in the local oppositions identical to the one that is carried out in many other city councils. Gent de Dénia, as well as Citizens and Party, were very contrary to this decision, starring in one of the most tense plenary sessions of the legislature. In fact, the debate did not end there, but the PP decided to put it in the hands of Justice, although This gave the reason to the Dénia City Council.
Now the formation of mario vidal He promises that if they achieve the Mayor's Office they will back down to remove the compulsory knowledge of Valencian to access these public positions in Dénia. Knowing the co-official language will be rewarded, yes, with some points. But it will not be required. "It is a way to facilitate the work for everyone," maintains the training.
People who speak as they want but are impositions from above. Force is oppression. The important thing is to be efficient and professional, not to be a jerk who knows or doesn't know a language.
It seems perfect to me, many of us are fed up with being considered second class for not speaking Valencian, if I go to Madrid or Castilla y León they don't discriminate against me if I want to oppose and I have the same opportunities as a Castilian, stop dividing those parties that use the language as a political weapon and focus on teaching English in schools for more hours, which is what will give a future to those who want to progress and not focus on a regional language that is only valid in 3 provinces of which half do not speak or write of its population.
A lot of respect for the Valencian but whoever wants it can speak it and learn it in their environment. Or 2 hours at school would be enough but in exchange they leave aside English, which is the universal language. It is the only way to move forward and to understand each other, oppositions, etc. We already have the best language in the world of Cervantes
Let's just speak English and Chinese so we can finish sooner.
For Gent from Denia, those of us who speak Valencian are not from Denia
Since the city council requires knowledge of Valencian to be able to work, they should offer free Valencian classes for non-speakers.
People owe nothing.
They could sign agreements with Creama and the Adult School and do it.
That they allocate money to this, which is a way to promote the language and not to so many pedestrian streets
