Thanks to the motion of the PP, the Consistory requires the socialist government of Spain to guarantee the freedom of education and the right of parents to have their children receive religious and moral training that is in accordance with their own moral convictions.

The Councilor for Education in the City of Lorca for the Popular Party, Pedro Mondéjar, has been pleased that the PP has won the support of the majority of the plenary session of the Consistory to take forward the initiative raised to it in the form of a motion in which defends the full and total freedom of parents to choose the education of their children.

It is an initiative that rejected the postulates recently expressed by the Minister of Education, and that constitute a radical change within the PSOE, within the turn to the extreme left that is now leading that party to agree with Podemos, and that today has was able to verify in the Plenary of the City Council

Pedro Mondéjar, who has obtained the support of both Vox and Citizens to his motion, has lacked the support of the PSOE, which not only once again shows its weakness in the government and breaks its unison vote with its ally, but which has turned its back on the 2,229 students who are studying in concerted education, in centers that employ 160 Lorca families.

We, from the PP, claim the right of all Lorca families to freely choose the education they want to offer their children, and condemn the statements made by the Minister of Education of the PSOE, Isabel Celaá, who, of Irresponsible, incomprehensible and against all logic, has literally indicated that "the right of parents to choose a religious education does not emanate from the constitution."

Pedro Mondéjar has affirmed that it is the worst attack against the educational freedom of families that is remembered, whose severity is accentuated by taking into account that it has been a Minister who has proclaimed it.

We are facing a barbarity similar to the situations of educational involution and indoctrination that have been denounced both in Catalonia and in the Basque ikastolas.

The PP does fully defend the right of families to educate their children as they deem necessary, because nobody has to tell Lorca to educate their children.

If parents want their children to study Religion, that has to be respected by the Government, whether from the PSOE or Podemos, and if the parents' option is to school them in centers of concerted education, they also have to respect that freedom.

The opposite would be an illegitimate and dictatorial interference of the government in the life of the Spaniards.
