Compromís for Xàbia has clarified its position regarding the plenary debate on the educational strike, asserting that its abstention was not against teachers or their demands, but against a dynamic that prioritizes partisan gain over finding solutions.

Compromís for Xàbia has sought to clarify the published information following the plenary debate on the educational strike. The party emphasized that its abstention was not a vote against supporting teachers or their demands, but a decision made in response to a "dynamic that prioritizes partisan gain over finding solutions."
The group explained that the initial motion presented by the PSOE was not put to a vote as proposed. Their abstention occurred in response to the total amendment presented by the government, a text that retained some points of support for the educational community but eliminated others, shifting the debate towards a confrontation between the PP and PSOE.
Therefore, it is considered incorrect to state that Compromís sided with the PP against the teaching staff. The vote, according to the party, was not about supporting teachers, but about a text that had devolved into a political dispute between the two major parties.
During her intervention in the Plenary session, Compromís councilor Carme Català clearly expressed her support for education professionals, acknowledging the seriousness of the situation in the Valencian educational system. "The situation is quite alarming, and I believe that teachers are doing a great and brave job," she stated.
Compromís shares many of the concerns of the educational community, recognizing that teachers on indefinite strike are defending not only their working conditions but also the quality of public education and the rights of students. "They deserve respect, listening, and responses from the administrations," they emphasize.
However, the party believes that issues as important as education should not become a tool for partisan attrition. While they share the substance of many demands and acknowledge the fundamental role of teachers, they reject the use of their claims by the PP and PSOE in a political battle that overshadows "what truly matters: the situation of educational centers, teachers, and students."
While the PP avoids taking responsibility for the educational policies of the Generalitat, the PSOE opted to bring this confrontation to the Xàbia Plenary. Compromís believes that the problems of public education deserve "something more than an exchange of recriminations between parties."
The party reiterates that its abstention was a decision made in response to a partisan dynamic, not a rejection of teachers. Compromís for Xàbia assures that it will continue working with the educational community to defend quality public education, with sufficient resources and the recognition that its professionals deserve.
