BUDGET 2025

Vox does not give up its fight for a Linguistic Office, but for the time being it is at a standstill

"Dedicating 750,000 euros to a body that have no sanctioning power is a chiringuito," said the party spokeswoman. In addition, he said that "it will be necessary to analyze" whether the Antiokupas Office announced in the 2025 Budget of the Govern overlaps with that of the City Council of Palma.

The parliamentary spokeswoman for Vox, Manuela Cañadas, has clarified that her party has not resigned its quest for the creation of a Linguistic Officeto the detriment of the Anti-coup Office. “They are issues that are negotiated separately,” said Cañadas. Although he has clarified that, for the moment, the linguistic initiative is at a standstill. “To dedicate 750,000 euros to a body that has no power to be able to demand that people study in freedom in both Castilian and Catalan is a chiringuito that we are not going to maintain,” he has stressed. Thus, he has made it clear that “if this body does not have a sanctioning character it will not recover, if it can pursue schools that violate the free choice of language, then yes”. “It will have to be negotiated in the legislature and it will not be now because we have paralyzed it,” he added. “We have replaced the Linguistic Office by an Antiokupación, in the face of housing problems and legal insecurity,” Cañadas had reported last Thursday. The inclusion of the Anti-occupation Office in the Budget 2025 was confirmed by the Minister of Economy, Finance and Innovation, Antoni Costa. While the Anti-occupation Office will involve an investment of 250,000 euros, Vox was promoting a Linguistic Office whose creation was budgeted at 750,000 euros.

Review

Cañadas stressed Monday at a press conference that “the first time that Vox renounced the language office was because some”, among whom she pointed out the former deputy of Vox and now non-attached deputy Agustín Buades, “wanted the director to be a person related to them”. She also added that when she became the spokesperson of the group, she wanted to start it but due to the difficulties in reaching agreements and, “at the request of the PP, it was postponed to November”. “Later, she said, the pact was broken, and when she wanted to recover it, it was considered that a Linguistic Office that does not have the capacity of economic sanction, is a chiringuito”, she added.

Possible overlapping

Regarding the Anti-gang Office, the parliamentary spokeswoman of the Vox Group has considered that “perhaps, we will have to study whether it is included in the budget, because it is still in negotiations with the PP”. Thus, she alluded to the possibility that “as the accounts for 2025 of the City Council of Palma and the Parliament have been negotiated separately, there could be a duplication of the Anti-Occupations Office that Vox wanted to develop in the Parliament with the one that has already been announced by the Vox Group in the City Council”. In any case, he clarified that “an item for this Office could be included in the budget of the Parliament because, as it would not have to hire external staff for its operation, if not working in it officials, it would not be a chiringuito and, therefore, if not developed, could be used for other things”.
