EH Bildu has tabled six amendments to the two bills on the table amending the Public Employment Act, four to the one registered by the coalition itself, and two to the PNV.

In the changes to their text, EH Bildu has defined the "progressivity index" as an instrument that will enable them to establish themselves in the "flexible" that was this obligation and that can allow "an inclusive agreement." 

EH Bildu's MP, Josu Aztiria, has explained that they have "refined and detailed the development" of their bill to define, above all, the progressivity index. "In other words, we determine how to calculate that index, how to calculate the number of places in which the Euskera requirement can be deferred."

According to the coalition, the inclusion of this index in the law itself gave "greater legal certainty to the system. "" This has been recommended to us by several legislators in the process of the law. "Moreover, EH Bildu believes that" it is a way to express the will to reach consensus, because determining progressivity and flexibility can facilitate an inclusive agreement with PNV, PSE and Sumar. " 

Among the amendments he has made to the Jeltzales  text, they have expressly stressed the general principle that 'knowledge of the two official languages is compulsory ', a criterion which the coalition has said cannot be reversed. 

The PNV has also today tabled amendments to the proposalfor a law drawn up by thePNV itself, the three  . They propose to deepen proportionality and to establish in general terms the date of delay in job offers. 

Equating Basque and Spanish

EH Bildu registered his proposal in Parliament in June last year. Euskera, as the language of the Basque Country, is the official language of the Basque public administrations, like Spanish, and will be a language of service and work. "On this basis, the coalition's proposal is that theknowledge of the two official languages eta should be a general criterion in the administration "in a flexible and progressive manner" and "taking into account the sociolinguistic situation at the local level".

According to EH Bildu, the proposal is based on the legislation in force in Catalonia, Galicia, the Valencian Community and the Balearic Islands, which has been approved by the Constitutional Court.
