When he was born in December 1960, there were only two television channels. Before discovering and falling in love with the Tramuntana mountain range, he explored the Ports de Tortosa-Beseit. As a teenager, he joined his village's hiking club, and they would go on trips to the Pyrenees. We travel to the Baix Ebre region, in the municipality of Tortosa, to learn about the origins of Jaume Carot, the physicist and current rector of the University of the Balearic Islands, the third of four siblings. Before him came the twins Tomàs and Maria Cinta; the youngest was Elena, who lends her voice to these memories.

Representatives of the "Carot, Enough Complicity" campaign, made up of students and workers, spoke this Wednesday during the presentation of EMPRENDAY on the UIB campus. During the event, they interrupted the international welcome given by the rector, Jaume Carot, to demand that the university comply with what was approved by the UIB Governing Council in May of last year: not to establish relations with Israeli companies or entities that participate in illegal employment and colonization or violate UN resolutions.

The rector of the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB), Jaume Carot, expressed his "great satisfaction" with the ruling of the High Court of Justice of the Balearic Islands (TSJIB), which dismissed the lawsuit filed by Plis Educación seeking to require 25 percent of school hours to be taught in Spanish. Carot thus joined the Obra Cultural Balear (OCB) and the STEI (Spanish Institute of Cultural Heritage), which in recent hours have already expressed satisfaction with the court ruling announced this Thursday. "First, what the politicians say: total respect for the decisions of the judiciary," said the UIB rector when asked about the matter. In any case, he acknowledged that he is "very pleased with the ruling." "I have never understood, and I will never understand, why language is being made into an issue when it has never been a problem in this region," he concluded.
