The company hired by the Government to organize the oppositions last weekend, which must be repeated in July due to the multiple anomalies detected, is considering taking "legal action" against the Generalitat to defend "its honor and reputation".
This possibility, pointed out by Cegos in a new statement, is the company's reply to the explanations given on Friday in Parliament by the Minister of the Presidency, Laura Vilagrà, where she appeared to blame the failures in the organization of the tests on the contracted corporation and announce that it will claim at least one million euros in compensation for damages.
Cegos reaffirms that most of the rulings were the fault of the Generalitat and calls some of Vilagrà's accusations "speculation".
According to the company, the contract establishes four tasks for it: printing exams and answer sheets, distributing materials for the exams in the classrooms, monitoring the classrooms during the exam and correcting them within the established period. And three for the Generalitat: having adequate spaces, assigning and distributing the candidates in the classrooms and preparing the exam material (question and answer sheets, which Cegos then had to print).
The company ensures that only 30% of the classrooms met the required capacity and that had they had the expected capacity, most of the incidents would not have occurred.
Regarding the exams, Cegos points out that the printing and stamping of the exams "requires a preparation time, according to the contract, of at least seven days if it is a single exam or call". In this process there were 73 calls with 656 different exam models. "On three occasions the Generalitat was notified of the need to have all the exams within this period to ensure reliability," but "it ignored these requests," they say.
On the day that the deadline for delivery of the tests expired, on April 23, 184 types of exams (17%) were still to be delivered, and the day before, 16. In addition, that day they received "supervening changes" from the Generalitat. , on the assignment of people to the classrooms and on exams that affected almost 100 people, they allege.
