The determination of the Catalan Department of Justice to simply accept this Wednesday the resignation of the director of the Mas d'Enric jail, in Tarragona, manages to place again on monitor the labor battle unleashed after the homicide of a cook dinner on the heart, by the hands of a prisoner who later dedicated suicide After two weeks of protests, the six unions despatched an announcement within the night through which they lastly agreed to sit down on the negotiating desk. The gesture of excellent will, nevertheless, is accompanied by the announcement of a two-day strike, coinciding with the electoral marketing campaign.

The till now director of the jail, Paco Romero, made his place accessible to Justice after the occasions, on the sixth. The Generalitat didn’t settle for it then, ready to know the results of its inside investigation into what occurred. The motive behind the assault of a person sentenced in 2016 to 11 years in jail for stabbing to dying a prostitute, who had good conduct reviews sustained over time and had a great stage of reintegration, remains to be unclear. The unions had from the primary second requested the resignation of the Secretary of Penal Measures, Amand Calderó, as a precondition for sitting down to barter the lifting of the protests referred to as because of the tragedy and which pressured the confinement of the prisoners of their cells.

The determination of the Minister of Justice, Gemma Ubasart, to maintain Calderó was very poorly obtained by the unions. With each events castled, the battle appeared to haven’t any attainable answer. The dialog was taken up by the Catalan vice chairman Laura Vilagrà and, after yesterday's announcement of the alternative in Mas d'Enric, the unions are lastly now capable of sit down with “valid representatives” of the Administration, though they consider that “a pawn” has been sacrificed and so they insist through which they need the resignation of the secretary, whom they accuse of ignoring years of complaints about working situations. The spokesperson for the socialists, Alícia Romero, has criticized by means of the social community X (previously Twitter) that the change within the course of the middle has taken two weeks.

In a press launch despatched at two within the afternoon this Wednesday, Justicia explains that the now former director of Mas d'Enric and Calderó agreed on the motion and thanks him for the work completed by Romero since 2005 – he then inaugurated the jail facility – and He explains that to any extent further he’ll occupy “new managerial responsibilities.” It isn’t identified precisely when the substitute will arrive, however for now it has served to unblock the scenario.

The complexity of the primary case of a homicide of a jail employee by the hands of an inmate within the latest historical past of Spain made Justice rule out accepting Romero's proposal and introduced that tasks could be decided as soon as the interior report commissioned was identified. This name to behave with a cool head didn’t sit effectively with the jail employees' unions, which routinely went on a battle footing. After years of hardly any visibility, in comparison with different comparable teams reminiscent of lecturers and nurses, the tragedy allowed them to transmit the discontent that was accumulating because of the lack of responses to their complaints – the listing of their working situations has not been renewed since 2006 – and so they selected to tighten rope.

Romero, a jail officer since 1988, directed the previous Tarragona jail between 2005 and 2015 and was in command of managing the switch of the middle to Mas d'Enric. Justice values ​​his profession and that’s the reason it decides to maintain him inside the construction, able that will likely be introduced shortly. There is not any particular date for the Official Gazette of the Generalitat to publish the appointment of his alternative.

The cessation of duties comes in the future after the administration groups of the Lledoners (Barcelona) and Ponent (Lleida) prisons determined to take away prisoners convicted of murder from working within the kitchen. Since 2015, all of the kitchens within the penitentiary facilities rely upon the Center for Reintegration Initiatives, the general public firm that manages the job pool for prisoners. However, the round with the suggestions for selecting the profiles is from 2002, which doesn’t bear in mind the particular threat of that exercise.
