The local team ended up winning the match, but the opponent managed to close the gap during the pauses caused by technical problems, which distracted the Girona players. It was the weekend of March 15th, the one with strong winds in the northeast of Catalonia, but the same situation had already happened before. In January, for example, in the EuroLeague game between Uni Girona and Galatasaray, the initial whistle sounded an hour late due to the same problem. And this March, against Casademont Zaragoza, the court went dark again with one minute left to play, with Uni two points down. The interruption broke the team's positive momentum and the home team ended up losing by three points.</p>]]></description>

In Catalonia, for example, three out of ten adolescents of immigrant origin <a href="https://es.ara.cat/sociedad/educacion/cataluna-alcanza-minimo-historico-abandono-despues-ahora_1_5269243.html" >drop out of school prematurely</a>, three times that of young people of Spanish nationality, and the case of Roma students is particularly flagrant, with a dropout rate exceeding 80%. Miguel Jiménez, Hatim Azahri, and Déguène Eufemia Seck are three young people who have experienced these abuses firsthand, but, despite the difficulties, have managed to move forward: they have completed university studies and now work as activists to ensure that new generations have more opportunities. Roma students as problematic, which means they no longer dedicate themselves with the same effort, and it generates frustration and a very low self-perception among us Roma, which reproduces this stigma," explains Miguel Jiménez, member of the Fundación Secretariado Gitano. And, speaking of his experience, he adds: "I'm from Terrassa, 4th year of ESO, a teacher looked me in the eyes and told me and to make it clear that I was here, in class, and from then on I started studying, first a higher degree and then social integration at university." However, Jiménez points out that there is still a lot of work to be done because now, when he wants to enroll his daughter in school, he has seen how the community. </p>]]></description>
