Interior rectifies and ensures that the pilot plan in Catalonia to introduce mossos in institutes continues
The controversy surrounding the pilot program to introduce Mossos d'Esquadra agents into high schools in Catalonia continues. After the Interior Councilor for the Generalitat, Núria Parlon, stated during an interview that the trial had been halted, the Department of Interior corrected itself, stating that the program 'continues.' The department clarified that a statement by the councilor had been taken out of context. The program will be evaluated by the end of the year, with conclusions to be presented in the first quarter of 2027, after which a decision on the future of the trial will bemade
La tensión se elevó en las calles de Barcelona durante una serie de incidentes relacionados con la visita del Papa Francisco, que tuvo lugar el 9 y 10 de junio. En particular, hubo momentos de conflicto entre grupos neonazis y manifestantes antifascistas, lo cual generó una respuesta policial intensa. Según informes de *20minutos*, cuatro agentes de la policía autonómica, conocidos como mossos d'Esquadra, resultaron heridos durante las cargas efectuadas para evitar choques entre ambas facciones. Estos incidentes ocurrieron en el contexto de una vigilancia generalizada en la ciudad, ya que se habían movilizado más de 7.000 policías para garantizar la seguridad durante la visita papal, según otro artículo publicado en la misma fuente.
El dispositivo policial fue uno de los aspectos más destacados de la organización de la visita. La policía había establecido puntos de control estratégicos, especialmente en zonas consideradas sensibles, como el Raval, un barrio famoso por su diversidad cultural y religiosa. Esta área, ubicada en el centro de Barcelona, es reconocida como el barrio con más variedad religiosa de la ciudad. Allí, conviven múltiples culturas y creencias, desde la religión católica hasta la musulmana, judía, hindú y otras minorías. La presencia del Papa en esta zona dio lugar a expectativas altas, pero también a descontento en algunos sectores.
Rosa Tuluyán, una mujer filipina que vive en el Raval, expresó su emoción por la visita del Papa. Para ella, la parroquia de Sant Agustí representa un espacio de reunión para los filipinos, quienes son la comunidad extranjera más numerosa del barrio. Sin embargo, otros residentes, como Fàtima Ahmed, presidenta de la asociación Diàlegs de Dona, mostraron preocupación. Ella señaló que, aunque la visita del Papa era importante, la atención hacia las religiones no católicas seguía siendo limitada. "Aunque España es un Estado aconfesional, el trato hacia la religión católica es diferente", afirmó Ahmed, quien criticó la falta de espacios adecuados para la comunidad musulmana en el barrio.
El Raval también ha sido escenario de iniciativas interreligiosas. El Grupo Interreligioso del Raval (GIR), fundado en 2001 tras una huelga de hambre de migrantes en la Iglesia del Pi, sirve como plataforma para el diálogo entre diferentes creencias. En este grupo participan 17 entidades, incluyendo congregaciones evangélicas y otras denominaciones no católicas. Marta López, una pastora protestante, explicó que, aunque apreciaba la presencia del Papa, su iglesia no reconocía su autoridad. Esto refleja una división interna dentro de la comunidad religiosa del barrio, donde la diversidad se manifiesta tanto en prácticas como en posturas políticas.
Mientras que algunos esperaban una celebración de la visita del Papa, otros cuestionaron su relevancia. Algunos residentes del Raval señalaron que, para ellos, la visita no tenía el mismo peso simbólico que para otros grupos. Esta percepción contrastó con la importancia que le otorgaban a la visita los medios de comunicación y las instituciones locales. La situación resalta la complejidad de mantener la paz en un barrio con una historia de resistencia y diversidad.
Conforme avanzaba la visita del Papa, se previó que se mantendrían medidas de seguridad estrictas, incluyendo controles adicionales en áreas cercanas al Raval. Las autoridades continuaron monitoreando la situación, buscando prevenir cualquier tipo de disturbio. Mientras tanto, la comunidad del Raval se preparaba para recibir al Santo Padre, aunque con expectativas variadas. La visita del Papa, en un contexto de polarización social, se convirtió en un evento que reflejó tanto la riqueza cultural del barrio como las tensiones existentes en la sociedad catalana.

The Pope concluded his visit to Barcelona with a mass at the Sagrada Família, where he blessed the Tower of Jesus, the tallest point of the basilica and the element that has consecrated Antoni Gaudí's work as the world's tallest church. The event took place 100 years after Gaudí's death and 144 years after construction began. The Pope described the temple, still under construction, as 'catechism made of stones, colors, and light.'
