The High Court of Justice of the Basque Country amends the new Foral Order of Multiculturalism of Gipuzkoa to avoid the "imposition" of school sport
The Department of Sports has expressed its "concern" following a new court ruling that "attacks the sports initiation model."
The High Court of Justice of the Basque Country (TSJPV) has issued an unenforceable order and has deleted articles 2.1 and 2.1.5 of the Foral Order 2025-2026, considering that the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa was in favour of the Multikirola programme, "hindering" the clubs by limiting their schedules and schedules, both for training days and for competitive days.
Furthermore, according to the TSJPV, the foral rule makes it a 'complementary and non-substitute' activity of a single sport, so it was an indirect way of 'imposing' multiculturalism. These articles also include a delay in reporting results and classifications up to the Alevín category, a measure 'commensurate with the European and international recommendations to protect students from premature competitive pressures, which would also be called into question', they have pointed out from the foral institution.
The Department of Sports of the Provincial Council has expressed its "concern" following this new judicial decision, which "attacks the sports initiation model of Gipuzkoa and puts at risk again policies that prioritise multisectoral activity, avoid early specialization and ultimately establish a model with scientific and pedagogical endorsement".
Sports MP Goizane Alvarez has stressed that "public policies are impossible if there is no regulation." "Multisport is not an imposition, but an educational proposal designed to ensure equal, formative and universal access to school sport. The regulation does not deprive freedom; it orders and makes it possible for everyone," she said.
It also recalls that the Basque Parliament adopted the Physical Activity and Sport Act, which states that sports initiation policies "must take precedence over sports practice, avoid early specialization and ensure harmonious development". "The law gives deputies and municipalities the power to regulate and develop this regulation and explicitly authorizes the adoption of public policies in this direction", it states.
