One in three groups, unhappy with the money provided by the committee
El Pais. J. Servulo GONZÁLEZ - Madrid - 29/08/2008
"Monday begins the march," said yesterday a man over the newsagent while buying a newspaper. "People come back from vacation and starts to Curran. And peace is over," he added, while accommodating the newspaper under his arm. But the march has already begun. And peace has been short-lived, at least for the Socialists in Madrid, who have begun to sharpen the nails before the regional conference to be held from 5 to 7 September.
About 80 groups of the Socialist Party in Madrid (PSM), one of every three, have sent a letter to the regional conference organizing committee in which they express their discomfort with the section dealing with education in the policy paper, which discussed at the conclave socialist. It is not the only criticism that receives the text that will define the party's political position for the coming years. In total, 4,439 amendments have been submitted, some of them at all.
"implies a renunciation of the ideological principles in education," they say in the letter the 80 groups that went to Maru Menéndez, Socialist spokesman in the Assembly and one of the coordinators of the XI Regional Congress, to express his discomfort with the position on education. According
groups, the paper, which defines the political position of the party for the coming years, exudes a conservative ideological shift and contains "some unassumable statements." These militant groups are asked to create a discussion group to study this issue during the conference. And threaten to file an amendment to the entire presentation.
is not the first time you hear voices against this point. But this time it is striking that those who signed the protest are two members of the governing body of the PSM: Javier Gomez, head of Electoral Action, and Elvira Aranda, Studies and Programs. "Do not attack the private education and respect the concert, but we must put the public first," said Gomez, who added: "They have made education a strategic element in electoral terms, to get more votes. But this is a wrong position. "
Menendez did not hesitate to reply harshly to the 80 clusters, because you have not done much grace the letter to the educational position. "I do not want to get into a debate epistolary absurd," said the Socialist spokesman in the Assembly. And he blamed "many times during the past year, some I've missed a lot of you ". A harsh reprimand. And the spokesman Menéndez received another response." We have also missed many important presence of socialists in Madrid in action [claims of public education] and the strategy developed, "replied the two improvised spokespersons of the 80 groups contrary to the presentation of the Congress. "They are not looking good causes of electoral defeats in Madrid. We need to open a debate on different ideological principles and integrating all the sensitivities, "Javier Gomez slides.
