<![CDATA[Ara in English - subsidies]]> 10 <![CDATA[Ecology and the law of the jungle]]> Sometimes I wonder if the councilors love the object of their department. Does the councilor of Education love education? Does the councilor of Linguistic Policy love language? Does the councilor of Culture love culture?Fifteen days ago, in an article in favor of teachers and professors, I spoke of the poison of superior causes. We must help these students!, said the pedagogues. But the function of teaching was not to help students, but to transmit knowledge. Twenty-five years of turning priorities upside down have destroyed teaching and have harmed students in a terrible way. We must go against the extreme right, we are told today, to justify any blunder. With criticism thus deactivated as in the case of teaching, both things will be achieved, the blunder and the extreme right, which already seem like two stages of the same evolution.

The Catalan government has acknowledged that 6,771 personal data records were mistakenly leaked from the grant database of a website belonging to the Ministry of Economy and Finance. As reported by TV3 and confirmed by ARA with sources within the department, this leak also explains the initial service outage and subsequent sudden disappearance of one million Generalitat grant records—an incident that caused considerable uproar and a wave of speculation.

Compiling all the grants awarded in Catalonia on a website that acts as a search engine, filtered by beneficiary and showing who grants them. That's what 32-year-old Gerard Martínez Adsuar, from Caldes de Montbui, has done, sparking a public debate this week with the viral success of Subvencions.cat. Why? The website suddenly stopped working and was restored after a few days. The outage, however, resulted in the loss of one million records. This data became inaccessible from the Catalan government's portals. The government has justified the outage by citing problems with the data "upload," which they assure will be resolved soon. Well done, Martínez Adsuar. He already put forward his hypothesis on Thursday night on X"Before the change, proper names appeared, often those of migrants, associated with a tax identification number (CIF) that belonged to associations. I don't think this should have happened."
