L’Institu Municipal d’Educació de Barcelona gestiona directament les 105 escoles bressol públiques de la ciutat. El 27 de juny de 2016, sota el govern d’Ada Colau, va emetre la Instrucció sobre diversitat alimentària on garantia la singularitat dels menús que demanin les famílies per motius religiosos.

Tot i que no hi diu que es prohibeixi el porc, a la secció de la web de l’Ajuntament s’afirma que a les escoles bressol no es consumeix carn de porc.

Pregunta i resposta de l’ajuntament

El perfil de twitter Eva García va preguntar a l’ajuntament de Barcelona (ara del PSOE) el motiu de no servir carn de porc a les escoles bressol. La resposta és per proporcionar una alimentació més inclusiva.

Sense opció de menú amb porc

El menú sense porc és l’estàndard per tothom però sí que hi ha l’opció halal. Per tant, el que fa Barcelona és prohibir que cap alumne mengi porc. El govern municipal en resposta a La Razón argumenta que s’han reunit amb famílies, equips educatius i nutricionistes, i que el model de menús busca que no exclogui cap infant per motius culturals o religiosos. Tot i això, el consistori no ha especificat si hi ha hagut queixes o peticions formals que justifiquin la retirada del porc, ni ha presentat dades concretes.

Reaccions polítiques i a les xarxes

Els primers a reaccionar han estat els partits de la dreta i dreta extrema. VOX ha denunciat públicament una “discriminació del cristianisme” i una “imposició cultural i religiosa” a les escoles públiques. Segons el partit, la mesura suposa una “concessió a l’islam” i vulnera els drets dels infants que sí poden menjar porc. Altres veus han qüestionat que es pretengui normalitzar el que consideren un “canvi forçat d’hàbits alimentaris”.

A les xarxes socials, les crítiques s’han escampat ràpidament, amb comentaris que parlen de submissió, imposició i discriminació. Alguns usuaris han qualificat la mesura com un “atac al sector carni” i han acusat l’Ajuntament d’utilitzar l’excusa de la inclusió per aplicar polítiques identitàries encobertes.

Mentrestant, pares i mares d’infants afectats es mostren dividits. Alguns agraeixen que no hi hagi exclusió alimentària i que es fomenti una dieta més vegetal, mentre d’altres reclamen poder escollir lliurement i critiquen que no s’hagin ofert menús alternatius amb carn de porc.
