Overview

  • Consellera Esther Niubó confirmed the dismissal of Enric Trens as subdirector general of Plantillas over his unilateral manipulation of the summer allocation process.
  • Trens assigned 878 ‘perfiladas’ roles meant for permanent civil servants to interim teachers in breach of department regulations.
  • The Department annulled and redrew the summer teacher allocations, republishing corrected lists late Tuesday to reset nearly 3,000 assignments.
  • Niubó has ordered an internal review of adjudication procedures to strengthen oversight and prevent future tampering.
  • Opposition parties led by ERC are demanding broader accountability, including the resignation of director general Josep Maria Garcia Balda.
