The municipal secretary of Petra, Francisco González, has filed a complaint against the town's mayor, Salvador Femenias, for alleged workplace harassment. The secretary, who has been on sick leave since June, filed the complaint with the Civil Guard in Manacor, who have opened a preliminary investigation. In fact, several town councilors have already been called to give statements as witnesses. When consulted by All PlansFemenias denied knowing about the secretary's complaint to the Civil Guard. However, he confirmed that just yesterday, Rafel Font, a councilor from his governing team and third deputy mayor, had been summoned and went to give a statement to the Civil Guard. He added, "I suppose they'll call me soon." Femenias appeared calm and surprised that the secretary had filed the complaint with the Civil Guard. The reason: "He already reported us to the company that handles our occupational risk prevention, and a psychologist from that company came and wrote a report concluding that there was nothing to what he was alleging, no harassment." The trigger for this situation seems to be an informational committee meeting on June 19, 2025, shortly before the secretary went on sick leave. At this meeting of councilors from all parties, prior to the municipal plenary session, information was to be provided regarding the agreement between civil servants and contract staff.

The National Police are investigating a teacher in Palma for five alleged cases of harassment of underage students, after an initial complaint filed in late December opened an investigation that has led to the identification of five more potential victims of the same teacher. The investigation began following a complaint from a young woman who reported receiving persistent and repeated calls every day from a blocked number, many of them late at night. According to her account, the calls caused her anxiety and disrupted her daily life. Days later, the victim returned to the police to report that the phone harassment continued. In these subsequent calls, the alleged perpetrator asked if they would meet and told her he missed her. At the beginning of the year, the young woman confirmed that the calls were still coming, but this time from a visible phone number.

The National Police have opened an investigation into the possible "inappropriate conduct" of a teacher at the Nuestra Señora de Monti-sion school in Palma with a student. The investigation, carried out by the Family and Women's Assistance Unit (UFAM), suggests that the incidents occurred through an instant messaging application. Monti-sion school has reported that the teacher under investigation has been suspended from his duties and that the matter has been reported to the Police, the Public Prosecutor's Office, and the Education Inspectorate. In a statement, the school indicated that it received information last Monday regarding possible "inappropriate conduct" by a teacher, although they did not specify the nature of the behavior or with whom it involved. At that time, the measures outlined in the Jesuit 'Safe Environment' protocol were activated, and the teacher was suspended from his duties as a precautionary measure. Meanwhile, the school continues to gather information about the initial elements of this situation to try to clarify what happened. The matter is also in the hands of the judicial, police, and educational authorities, with whom the school has committed to collaborating in a coordinated manner "to guarantee the proper follow-up of the procedure." The teacher remains suspended from his duties as a precautionary measure this Wednesday, and the school continues to faithfully apply the steps established in the protocol. Monti-sion has reaffirmed its commitment to the care, protection, and well-being of all members of the educational community. Any situation that may cause concern, it reminded, can be reported to the following email address: protection@jesuits.es"Given the sensitive nature of the matter, we reiterate the importance of trusting the responsible entities to ensure compliance with established protocols," the educational center stated.

The General Court of the European Union on Wednesday rejected the appeal filed by José Ramón Bauzá against the reprimand imposed on him by the European Parliament for harassing a member of his team when he held a seat as a Citizens (Cs) MEP in the previous European legislature. The case dates back to 2022, when a parliamentary assistant to Bauzá reported his superior for psychological harassment to the relevant committee in Parliament, and an investigation was launched that concluded in February 2024, with the announcement by the institution's president, Roberta Metsola, that the harassment of the complainant had been proven.

National Police officers in Palma arrested a man on Wednesday as the suspected perpetrator of online threats after he posted a comment on a popular social network targeting a group of underage girls in connection with a school bullying case. According to the Balearic Islands Police Headquarters, the post was directed at minors involved in an alleged bullying case that reportedly resulted in the death of another minor. The message, written from an anonymous profile, was posted as a comment on a news story that received significant media attention. The events date back to the second half of October, when the National Police's Technological and Economic Crimes Unit launched an investigation following a report of threats made via social media.

Cases of school bullying in the Balearic Islands reveal a complex and evolving situation, which is starting earlier and earlier: even in primary school and preschool, schools are detecting behaviors that can be considered systematic intimidation. The victims are often more vulnerable students, such as those with Special Educational Needs (SEN), socialization difficulties, or family problems. Xavier Ferriol, a teacher and president of the parents' association FAPA Mallorca, points out that if a student is different, the bullying is focused on them. Thus, children with low self-esteem, attachment disorders, autism spectrum disorder, gifted children, and those who don't fit in with groups become easy targets, an issue that worries FAPA, which seeks to achieve the assertive involvement of families when a case arises. Data from recent years show a sustained and record increase in the activation of bullying protocols. In the 2017-2018 school year, 436 protocols were opened, with 123 confirmed cases; In 2022-2023, there were 713 protocols and 384 confirmed cases, the highest figure to date; and in the 2024-2025 academic year, a record 887 protocols were reached, with approximately 177 confirmed cases, the third highest figure in the statistical series. Most cases occur in secondary schools, but there has also been an increase in primary schools, accounting for 35.1% of cases. In the 2022-2023 academic year, 41.4% of cases were not attributed to any specific group, while 25.8% involved young people from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds (SEN). 12.8% were physical attacks; 8.1%, for cultural and religious reasons; and 5.2%, due to LGBTQ+phobia.

The Provincial Court of Palma has upheld the one-year prison sentence of teacher Miquel Roldán for the crime of harassment of a former underage student. The court practically upholds the ruling issued by Palma Criminal Court No. 3 last November. Despite upholding the account of the events and the conviction for harassment, the Court did not impose any disqualification on Roldán, allowing him to continue teaching. The court of first instance considered that the events were not related to his teaching status and, therefore, this measure should not be applied.

The Ministry of Education's response to the controversy at Son Sardina over the presence of Miquel Roldán has been to send a new teacher to take over the sixth grade tutoring role and assign Roldán support duties for the third cycle (fifth and sixth grades), always accompanied by the respective tutors for that year.

The Minister of Education and Universities, Antoni Vera, has explained that the Spanish government does not plan legislative changes to prevent a professor convicted of harassing a former student from practicing. This controversy arises after the problems experienced in the Maria Antònia Salvà school (Son Sardina)where Miquel RoldánHe has a temporary position and parents have refused to bring their children as a symbol of protest.

The families of the Maria Antònia Salvà Primary School have made good on their threat and none have taken their children to school for the first two days of school. They will not take them on Friday either, to demonstrate their opposition to Miquel Roldán, a teacher convicted of child abuse, teaching the sixth-grade class. Most of the families have organized childcare, while 10 have gone to the Son Sardina summer camp. The solution proposed by the Regional Ministry, which was already implemented last year when the teacher went to the Gabriel Janer and Manila Primary Schools (where Roldán met the victim), is for the teacher to be sent to the school. do work supervised at all times by a support teacherHowever, the families aren't satisfied with this behavior. They want Roldán to be removed from office.

The families of the CEIP Maria Antònia Salvá in Son Sardina have issued a statement expressing their "absolute rejection" of the teacher's incorporation. Miquel Roldánat the school. It's worth remembering that the primary school teacher was convicted of child abuse. Specifically, the court sentenced him to one year in prison, but did not disqualify him, a situation that the Regional Ministry confirmed when it dismissed him from teaching, although he is on a temporary basis.
