Support letter for Albert Carreras and Andreu Mas-Colell
The undersigned, all professors and researchers affiliated to Pompeu Fabra University, want to express our concern about the action of the Tribunal de Cuentas against our colleagues Albert Carreras and Andreu Mas-Colell. We think his situation is extremely unfair. The Court of Auditors is about to execute a decision that could lead to a sanction that would confiscate all their personal property, with immediate consequences for them and their families.
The undoubted intellectual stature of Andreu Mas-Colell and the enormous services rendered to the International, Spanish and Catalan scientific and university community are well known. We also want to stress the excellent research and management work of Albert Carreras. Having known them both for many years, we are aware of their moral integrity and their respect for the Law. They themselves have pushed for important legislative changes to improve the scientific and university system, both in Spain and in Catalonia, as well as to promote the well-being of our community. This first-hand knowledge of the personalities of Albert Carreras and Andreu Mas-Colell undoubtedly detracts from our view of the responsibilities that the Tribunal de Cuentas imputes to them out of suspicion rather than evidence. Andreu and Albert had successful academic careers, only their willingness to serve society led them to accept political positions.
The integrity and honorability of Andreu and Albert are undeniable. All of us who know, admire and respect them are dismayed and outraged by the injustice that is about to be committed against two colleagues who have renounced so much, in the benefit of others while dedicating themselves to the public service in Catalan, Spanish and European institutions. They have always shown an unparalleled spirit of service with the highest level of commitment and disinterest.
The ordeal that Andreu and Albert are going through is unthinkable in any country around us.
