The pilot project to incorporate agents of the Mossos d'Esquadra into the daily routine of public institutes accumulates rejections before its premiere. Three of the four centers in Urgell have renounced to be part of the initiative that was to start on April 27.

The initial list contemplated four institutes in this region, one in Vielha and the Hospitality School of Les. To these were added seven locations in other Catalan towns to test the coexistence model.

Educational pressure paralyzes deployment

The resignations are not limited to the Lerida territory. Educational centers in Vic and L'Hospitalet de Llobregat have also withdrawn their adherence to the program.

Many teachers have agreed to cancel school trips and summer camps for the next school year as a pressure tactic against the measure.

"We were not pointing to some centers, we were not saying that all of these are problematic or of maximum complexity, we wanted to make a small, but representative sample" - Esther Niubó, Education Councilor

The head of the department yesterday described the social reaction to the proposal as exaggerated. She defended that the selection sought a reduced but significant sample within the framework of the five governance zones created by the ministry.

Political cracks in Tàrrega

The local political instability has directly affected the viability of the plan in some district capitals. In Tàrrega, the mayor from Junts, who governs with the support of the CUP, showed a radical change of stance.

First he endorsed the proposal and days later he publicly criticized it. This oscillation reflects the tension between institutional security and the autonomy of educational centers.
