Political parties in Galicia, including the Popular Party (PP), the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE), and Democracia Ourensana (DO), reached an agreement to modify the region’s plurilingualism decree. The pact aims to lift restrictions that prevented science subjects from being taught in Galician, allowing schools flexibility to distribute languages across different subject blocks. A condition of the agreement is that the total percentage of subjects taught in Galician cannot exceed 50%.

While cultural institutions like the Real Academia Galega welcomed the flexibility, nationalist groups criticized the plan, advocating for 100% instruction in Galician. Following this agreement, the Galician Parliament is scheduled to approve an updated General Plan for Linguistic Normalization. This plan intends to increase the linguistic policy budget and support the audiovisual and technology sectors, with implementation expected through upcoming regional budget legislation.
