The Ripoll City Council is hiring a daughter of Mayor Orriols as a local police officer.

The article reports on the hiring of Guinadell Orriols, the daughter of Mayor Sílvia Orriols of Ripoll, as an interim police officer in the municipality.

The mayor defended her actions by stating she could not personally benefit her daughter but emphasized that she allowed her to pursue her dream. The process required candidates to meet certain qualifications, and Guinadell reportedly achieved the best scores in all exams. The document authorizing the urgent call for applications was signed by the secretary general of the municipality.
