Sources from the department have explained to Europa Press that the area plans to undertake a psychosocial evaluation of the center following a report on occupational risks. The same sources have explained that the usual protocols have been activated to clarify the circumstances that have motivated some complaints.

      <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="https://static1.ara.cat/clip/61667a61-5281-4872-b472-13efd5329b80_16-9-aspect-ratio_default_0.png" /></p><p>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 <em>All Plans</em>Femenias 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.</p>]]></description>

The court also upheld the dismissal of the case against the other individuals under investigation. The proceedings began following a complaint filed by a Capdepera local police officer, who reported to the court a series of actions that, in his opinion, constituted coercion, degrading treatment, workplace harassment, and arbitrary administrative decisions by municipal officials and police commanders. The events allegedly occurred after the officer applied for a permanent civil service position.</p>]]></description>

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. </p>]]></description>
