United We Can presents an appeal against Ayuso’s scholarships for ‘cienmileurist’ families

The debate over aid to finance the baccalaureate in private centers for families who earn more than 100,000 euros is heading towards Justice. It does so for a matter of substance rather than form, but that could lengthen the litigation beyond the next course. The parliamentary group of United We Can in the Madrid Assembly has presented an appeal in which it requests the nullity of the call for checks, which it considers a full-fledged “technical botched”, The newspaper El País has advanced.

The Ayuso Government mixes personal and family income to justify its scholarships to those who earn more than 100,000 euros

The appeal, presented this Tuesday by deputies Jacinto Morano and Agustín Moreno and signed by the group’s spokeswoman Carolina Alonso, indicates that the regulatory bases for high school scholarships do not establish the income brackets of 35,913 euros per member of the family that yes appear in the subsequent order issued by the Ministry of Education. This is the “botched job” that they denounce from the training: the requirements to access a scholarship must be set in the regulatory bases and not in the call for them.

It is the same argument used by the Legal Service of the Community of Madrid, which in a report states that “the determination of age, as well as the family per capita income limit, must be set in the bases, not in the call.” “The call is nothing more than an administrative act of application,” says the letter from the lawyer of the Ministry of Education.

“The fundamental problems are the main thing”, recognizes the deputy Agustín Moreno about the checks that the Executive of Ayuso grants to families with high incomes to co-finance child education, high school and professional training in private centers, “but in those of shape are a bunch of bunglers”. The parliamentarian points out that these technical errors, which are used to nullify the call, respond to “that anxiety of transferring public resources to private ones.”

What is the scenario from now on? As Moreno explains to this newsroom, the Ministry has until September 5 to correct this error and return to the requirements of the order of the regulatory bases. If it does not, the group has two months to present the administrative dispute. Something they say they are going to do.

From United We Can they consider that the Community has no intention of making any modifications, which could lengthen the process for months. Beyond, even, the end of the next course, for which the aid is intended. “If the nullity is declared, the families will have to return the checks,” explains the deputy. From the Ministry of Education they point out that “it is an issue that has already been justified before the legal profession of the Community of Madrid and was accepted, so no change needs to be made.”

Moreno points out that although, for the moment, they have only presented this letter against the high school checks, they will appeal all the “scholarships”.

If accepted, the appeal will put a brake on the attempt to extend the income brackets to receive these checks for the next academic year, but not for the following ones. In fact, the Minister of Education and Vice President of the Autonomous Executive, Enrique Ossorio, defended this Wednesday that this is “the only way for there to be more families (who opt for checks) is by raising income levels.”

This same Thursday, the training has also lamented that the Community excludes migrants from access to Vocational Training. “The regional government has established as an essential requirement for people of foreign origin who want to enroll in FP that they are in possession of the NIE,” they point out in a statement. This new requirement puts sticks in the wheels of their training, since, until now, these students could enroll by presenting their passport.
