Antonio Pujante Quiñonero, a spokesman for Izquierda Joven Lorca, has shown the discontent and disagreement of this youth political organization, following the recent announcement by the Government to suppress the subject of Universal Literature of the Baccalaureate and, consequently, of the Selectividad, damaging Still more the educational system and concretely, the Humanities, after the cuts suffered in Latin, Greek or Philosophy.

Pujante recalled the words of the former Minister Wert, when he stated that "students should not study what they want, but what promotes employability," so from Young Left affirm that the suppression of this important subject responds to motives and political interests and Economic, since eliminating Universal Literature from the most decisive course of a bachelor carries an implicit message that encourages productivity and profitability from a mercantilist point of view, in line with the reform after Bologna.

The young people of IU show their dismay at the demolition of the culture that Spanish society is attending, far from the supreme interest promoted by Unamuno, who believed that "the supreme interest should be to raise the level of general culture and to awaken the Taste for things that dignify and refine the spirit, "linked to the destruction of the public education system by the PP, especially with those subjects that contribute to create educated, free and critical citizens, exploiting their capacity for analysis, imaginative, communicative, Reflexive, etc., while the subject of Religion continues to play a more important role in the Spanish educational system, despite living in a non-denominational country according to our Charter.

Moreover, they affirm that gradually eliminating the literature of classrooms is to limit the world perceived by the student.

They recall that the elimination of Universal Literature from the examination that will open the university doors of young people has to add several more questions that will be harmful to the intellectual and educational development of students, such as the limitation of historical periods only to the century XX, leaving aside the greats of the Golden Age, Romanticism, mystics, Realism, or Hispanic American literature.
