They claim that it is a biting coincidence. That this is not a vindictive action, nor an act of protest. The students of the choral singing class of the Institut Pompeu Fabra in Badalona (Barcelonès Nord) will dedicate to the President of the Generalitat, Pere Aragonès and the Minister of Education, Josep González-Cambray the traditional Catalan carol 'El Desembre Congelat' (Frozen December ). The students wore their coats in the classroom to withstand the low temperatures.
The visit of the Generalitat delegation, chaired by Pere Aragonès, accompanied by the mayor of Badalona, Rubén Guijarro, chose the center of Badalona to present the actions worth 102,635,439 euros aimed at improving the energy efficiency and thermal comfort of educational centers. A performance financed by the European funds React-Eu.
Precisely, the Institut Pompeu Fabra is pending an investment to repair the windows of the classrooms, many of which are damaged and do not allow the ideal temperature to be maintained for an educational center, so many of the students take classes with their coats on . The center will receive 370,000 euros for repairs.
The final objective of the improvements is to ensure that the buildings owned by Educació become infrastructures with maximum energy efficiency. The 102 million investment will make it possible to carry out actions in 294 centers, advancing in one year what the Generalitat had planned to carry out in seven years.
