, has resigned "for responsibility and dignity", after the cases of alleged harassment and abuse of power, which she has condemned.

In a statement this Friday, he assured that he has dedicated his five years in office all his "life and energy" to the Institut del Teatre, and that he has started numerous projects with the intention of building a hopeful future for the institute community.

"But we have not been able to do everything well. I fully assume my responsibility for not having known how to find, despite having tried, the effective tools to detach the Institute from abusive and authoritarian behaviors," he said.

Therefore, he added: "I strongly condemn these behaviors, I sympathize with the victims and I apologize to all those students who have felt forgotten by us."

"For this reason, out of responsibility and dignity, I have resigned as general director of the Institut del Teatre," he added.
