Gaüses residents oppose the school project because it would upset the town's "balance."

The planned school for 120 students in Gaüses has been met with opposition from a large portion of the village's just over 60 residents, which is part of the municipality of Vilopriu, for about four years. According to the residents, the majority opposes the project, citing the size of the subsidiary regulations for introducing educational use in the village. "It was done secretly and covertly," says Salvador Matas, architect and spokesperson for the opposing residents. "During the lockdown, they modified this plan, and the public disclosure period passed us by. The City Council operates in a way that lacks transparency in communication and distrust. They don't report everything they're doing, and you never know what they're up to," says Jordi, another opposing resident.
