While president of the PP, Mr Casado gave a speech in which he said that there were teachers in Catalonia who were instructed not to let children go to the bathroom because they spoke in Spanish, that kids who spoke Spanish during recess had stones put in their backpacks, and that the sons of law enforcement officers were pointed. Catalans wouldn't let them integrate into Catalan schools.

The harmful speech disseminated false information aimed at discrediting the Catalan schools.
