• Education Canet's parents ask the TSJC to oblige the Generalitat to guarantee the safety of their child

"I am going to stone this child's house. Let them go out of Catalonia. We do not want Castilian supremacists who hate us"; "This child should be left alone in class"; "The parents of the rest of the family should leave the child alone, the children should not return until this situation is fixed, and so on in every place where it happens"; "Apartheid to the family that wants to destroy our school and our model. They are not welcome since they do not want Catalonia. They can go where they have come." These are some of the messages published on social networks in recent days after the complaints of a group of parents from the Canet de Mar Turó del Drac school became known, since 25% must be given in a P5 class of teaching hours in Spanish.

Not even the family of the minor who asked the Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia (TSJC) for this measure made the court decision public. It was after a group of parents opposed to 25% announced it on the networks that numerous users, mainly independentists, began to pour insults, threats and humiliations against the plaintiffs. Faced with this situation, the family of the affected minor urged the TSJC that the school and the Generalitat guarantee their safety since "as a result of the meeting that the center's management held with the parents of the class in which they are enrolled "The student was created a few hours later" a public WhatsApp group that uses the logo of the school and whose purpose is to hinder the implementation of precautionary measures. "

It is in this group that "very serious threats are made towards" them and their son, "requesting that the center identify the family and the child, who is expressly asked to be expelled from the center or to be emptied in the class In more extreme comments, the knowledge of the family's domicile is demanded so that he can be stoned. " That is why they asked the court for protection. However, several entities brought this harassment to the Barcelona Public Prosecutor's Office, which has decided to open investigation procedures to examine whether the messages on the networks may constitute a crime of incitement to hatred or discrimination.

As this media has learned, the Prosecutor's Office admits to processing the complaints of Hablamos Español, Assembly for the Bilingual School and the Vox political party and after initiating investigation proceedings, a procedure will be initiated to "assess and study the legal significance of the tweets." . Once it is established whether the messages can constitute a crime of incitement to hatred and if some of the users can be identified, since many network accounts are anonymous, it will "determine how to proceed," according to the Public Ministry.

At the moment Vox in its complaint pointed to the gastronomer, writer and former professor of the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) Jaume Fàbrega as the author of the message, which was deleted, to go to "stone" the house of the minor's family. They also point to a Catalan police officer and member of the Mossos Por la Independencia, Albert Donaire, for urging that the five-year-old boy be left alone in class and thus isolate him from his classmates. Other messages ask to expel the student from the center or the school management is urged to know the family's address to go to protest, so the parents have reminded the school of the obligation to guarantee their safety.

For its part, the Assembly for a Bilingual School (AEB) denounced for crimes of incitement to hatred these people and entities that "are threatening the family" of Canet de Mar that won 25% in the school and stressed that in addition to the messages, signatures are also collected at the door of the school, posters have been hung or the association of parents of students (AMPA) organizes activities to claim linguistic immersion. Thus, the AEB considers that there is an "indication" to the family and they emphasize that "the safety of the family is in danger because there are real threats from people and groups" and regretted the attitude of the Generalitat to support the people who put in the target to parents: "They have to guarantee the privacy of the family and that coexistence in the center is maintained."

This Friday pro-independence entities have called a demonstration in front of the center. The AEB asked the Generalitat that the protest does not leave the center since at the same time the students leave the classrooms. For their part, Ciudadanos claimed the same thing from the Government Delegation in Catalonia since it considers that it is one more form of "pointing" towards the child under 5 years of age and his family by "independence radicals", in addition to regretting that the Government "has done nothing" to show solidarity.

The association Hablamos Español also filed a complaint about the harassment by social networks of Canet's family before the Prosecutor's Office, which they urge to "investigate the facts denounced and that after identifying the authors of the tweets that incite violence and hatred proceed against those responsible ".

Hablamos Español also believes that the "despicable orchestrated campaign" against this family "is one more reason" to speed up compliance with the sentence that obliges the Generalitat to guarantee the presence of at least 25% of teaching hours in Spanish.
