Presentation
of the Annual Report 2014: The Catalan Ombudsman reports the systematic
non-fulfilment of acknowledged rights |
|
 |
In
2014 the Catalan Ombudsman handled over 27,211 actions, concerning 53,095
people. 40% of these actions were related to social policies. Taking into
account the actions carried out, he states the current restriction of the
rights of dependant people, specially the suspension of economic benefits
related to nursing home services, is unacceptable. The Annual Report also
makes clear there is an urgent need to pass a new regulation with regards
to minimum income benefit that meets current social needs.

that "it is certain that neither the local police nor the Catalan one
(Mossos d'Esquadra) opened any internal investigation to clarify the
consistency of the allegations of mistreatment issued by the detainees to
the judge."

Ex-Officio
action to investigate incidents arising from the snowstorm |
|
 |
The
Ombudsman opened an investigation into whether there were shortcomings in
both the Catalan and the Spanish Governments performances during the
snowstorm that hit much of Catalonia on February 4th. According to reports
in the media, the snow caused numerous incidents and collapsed roads and
highways. The Catalan Ombudsman goal is to clarify if this collapse is
attributable to a lack of foresight and coordination, which could have
undermined the right to mobility.
