Gent de Dénia unearths the Valencian debate in the face of 28M
The Gent de Dénia municipalist formation 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 2019, when the PSPV and Compromís voted to establish a filter in local oppositions identical to the one that is carried out in many other city councils. Gent de Dénia, as well as Ciudadanos and Partido Popular, 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, Mario Vidal's formation 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.
