The left-wing Spanish government would enshrine discrimination in law

The government expects that if at the job interviews two persons suitable for the academic position are found, then the institution must employ the female applicant. With this positive discrimination, the left-wing government wants to achieve that more women choose the academic career.

"In practice, it would negatively discriminate against men, and in academic life, where only scientific progress, the list of publications, and the performance on the table should count, it would bring gender aspects into this world as well. We see that the gender madness that started in the United States, which first arrived in Great Britain and then in the Western European member states in the last five to ten years, is now taking its toll in Spain and in the Spanish left-wing politics," said Attila Kovács , project manager of the Center for Fundamental Rights in the M1 Unió 27 program.

According to Spanish universities, as a result of the draft law, objective, performance-based assessment in job interviews would cease. Instead, a system would emerge that, in their opinion, sacrifices merit and work on the altar of positive discrimination. According to critics of the proposal, the principle of equal opportunities would also be violated if the new regulations were to come into force. Biological gender cannot be an influencing factor.

This would also put the women who might be hired in this way into their workplace at a disadvantage, since it would be a mark on them, if you like. However, this goes against all kinds of previous anti-discrimination trends, according to which - at least in the past, most people agreed on this - neither someone's gender, nor someone's skin color or race, or any other attribute, should be a consideration when filling a job, said André Palóc, Századvég Senior Analyst of the Foundation.

According to the former Spanish Minister of Education, the proposal is against European law, including Spanish law. According to experts, positive assessment could be applied to an underrepresented group if scientific methods were used to determine what is considered underrepresented.

However, this requires serious statistical tests. And one Spanish professor is waiting for an answer as to what will happen to the areas where there are few men, such as the teaching profession.

According to the expert, women are not oppressed in Spain, so the question is about something else.

"I don't think that this is a question of judging women as bad or good, but rather what ideology practically dominates the activities of left-wing liberal governments in the European Union today. And if one of the pillars of this ideology is pro-migrants, then the other pillar is definitely this gender madness, the political and ideological pressure exerted by the LGBT community and other acronyms on political decision-making. And we see that now Spain is where another example of this ideological push has appeared," explained Attila Kovács.

The Court of Justice of the European Union previously stated in a decision that absolute preference for women goes against EU legislation.

"Spain has a left-wing government that tries to implement left-wing ideologies, either in education or in culture. They want to rewrite history and try to push back the Christian tradition, Catholic in Spain, which is characteristic of the country and is still widely present. These measures also fit into this line, and unfortunately it seems that they will not be the last. The leftist Spanish government is trying to go even further here. The sharpening of ideological issues obviously diverts attention from the fact that, as the southern part of the Eurozone, Spain's growth in the last ten years has been relatively low," explained Zoltán Kiszelly, director of the Political Analysis Center of the Századvég Foundation.

The Spanish government accepted the draft,

only the parliamentary vote remains. According to analysts, the government can count on the support of the majority, so the left-wing government will introduce left-wing ideology to the universities, meaning that Spanish higher education will be organized on a political basis.
