Barcelona Ada Colau saves the Parallel, where Lluís Companys listened to sing: "The vaseline is hardly noticeable"
LOC Ada Colau's reasons for coming out of the closet
Twitter has become a kind of newspaper library where tweets sometimes disappear or reappear to demonstrate, especially in the case of politicians, a change of position on an issue. In the
timeline
of Joan Subirats, new Minister of Universities, the image of him swearing in his new position in front of King Felipe VI and the Spanish Constitution has appeared this week. A few years ago
another snapshot appeared that contrasts with the one previously mentioned.
It is a photograph of himself handing over his ID to vote in the illegal 1-O referendum for the independence of Catalonia. Subirats published it on Twitter accompanied by some keywords or hashtags: "I have voted; Catalan referendum; Rajoy resigns; Democracy."
Joan Subirats, a 70-year-old retired, has assumed this week the new role for which he has been appointed after the resignation of his predecessor for health reasons, Manuel Castells.
In addition to the fact that he voted in the referendum on October 1, there are some more data that have emerged about the new Minister of Universities.
He was born in Barcelona and studied at the Escola Pia Sant Antoni,
with the demanding Piarist parents.
He began his political militancy in the PSUC and Red Flag.
It is a Marxist party that was nurtured by Catalan university students.
Subirats shared a cell with Carod Rovira for his political activism at the time of the regime.
His thesis supervisor was Jordi Solé Tura and he is a doctor in Economic Sciences and professor in Political Sciences at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. His friendship with Ada Colau, key to his appointment, began when the mayor of Barcelona began to gain notoriety through her anti-eviction platform.
He is considered the ideologue of the Barcelona en Comú project.
In the last municipal elections, in 2019, Subirats ran as
number two
from the Barcelona list in Comú-En Comú Guanyem.
He became deputy mayor in the Area of Presidency, Culture, Science and Community.
Last summer, when he was 70 years old, he decided not to continue with the work that Ada Colau had entrusted to him, in addition to abandoning his chair at the UAB.
He is considered a theorist of the new municipalism and has devoted his research efforts to the public management sector at the local level.
He is also a kind of mentor or "guide" to the mayor of Barcelona
.
In
La Vanguardia he
declared that he did not feel "independent" but "fully sovereign".
He was very critical of the arrest of Jordi Cuixart and Jordi Sànchez and the judicial process against the independence leaders.
Joan Subirats swears in officeEFE
He is the author of several books such as
Spain / Reset. Tools for a system change
and he has also collaborated in the media. When he said goodbye to the Colau town hall, he
stated that he would dedicate himself to "writing"
which was what he liked the most. Thus, he has published articles in
El País, Ara
or
El Diario.es.
It was precisely this digital newspaper that advanced the news that Manuel Castells would not continue as Minister of Universities of the Sánchez Executive.
Subirats is
pigeonholed in the so-called left Catalan caviar.
Not in vain does he live in an affluent and residential neighborhood of Barcelona, close to Gracia.
Little is known about his personal life except that he likes bullfighting and is a great seriéfilo like the former vice president of the Government Pablo Iglesias.
He is a follower of
Borgen, The Good Wife, Breaking Bad or Black Mirror
.
He also likes classical music and his style of dress fits the prototype of a university professor.
Especially striking was the tie
he chose to take up his new position.
