Basque Education Minister Condemns Harassment of Plentzia Teacher, Calls for Social Repair

Prosecutors are reviewing the case following the Education Department’s activation of school protocols.

Overview

  • The teacher reports enduring harassment by students for about eight years in and around the Plentzia secondary school.
  • The Education Department says it immediately activated established protocols, offered full support to the teacher, and is conducting an in‑depth analysis.
  • The case is now with the Fiscalía, placing potential legal scrutiny over and above internal school processes.
  • Education Minister Begoña Pedrosa labeled the conduct unacceptable and urged a community-level “social repair,” inviting the town council, families and students to take part.
  • An El Correo opinion column alleges repeated group attacks near the teacher’s home and questions whether institutions acted decisively before the matter reached prosecutors.
