A month has passed since Leila jumped into the void with Alana, her
twin sister.
Hand in hand, the 12-year-old girls threw themselves from the balcony of her house in
Sallent, a Catalan town 74 kilometers from Barcelona.
The fall, from a third story, killed Alana.

rehabilitation treatments.
He arrived at the Parc Taulí hospital in Sabadell with a
shattered jaw,
numerous fractures and a compromised lung.
He now he improves a bit every day.
How long he will remain with his parents and his 10-year-old brother Amadeo in Spain
depends on his recovery times .
The graffiti that appeared days after the tragedy of the Argentine twins in Barcelona.
The family has been in Sallent, a town of 6,700 inhabitants, for three years, but now, after this tragedy, they
can't wait to return to Mar del Plata,
where they are from.
They want to go back, they need to be among their own, and
take Alana's ashes “home”.
They called them "sudacas"
Leila has been
hospitalized since February 21,
when upon returning from school she decided that she was not going to leave her sister alone in the decision to end the torment they endured at school.
They lived overwhelmed.
They called them "sudacas".
They made fun of the Argentine accent with which they spoke and of a wish that Alana had revealed: she wanted to be called Iván.
For this reason, that Tuesday in February, when they returned from school, they wrote farewell letters, pulled two chairs up to the balcony railing, and jumped off.
“You know how much I love my sister, I saw all the bullying she suffers, I will do what she decides.
I'm going to accompany her wherever she wants," Leila wrote.
"I want to be happy, but obviously I am going to suffer this for the rest of my life and I made the decision not to continue," said the letter Alana left.
Manresa Investigating Court number 5, which was on duty that day, took charge of the
investigation.
He compiled the police reports prepared by the Mossos d'Equadra - the local Catalan police - in which
they confirm that the girls were victims of bullying
.
And, a few days ago,
he took a statement from Lucas, the father of the twins.
On the recommendation of the lawyer who represents them, neither Lucas nor Maia, the girls' mother, make statements.
They shielded themselves in silence
from the statement that circulated the first days of March in which they let it be known that they would only speak through their lawyer "out of respect for the privacy and memory of their daughters" and so as not to hinder the judicial and police investigation. .
The school principal will no longer be
The Catalan Ministry of Education, for its part, resolved
to relieve the director of the Llobregat de Sallent Public Institute
, where Alana and Leila were in the first year of ESO, Compulsory Secondary Education, according to Spanish legislation.
The General Secretary of Education of the Generalitat of Catalonia, Patrícia Gomà, clarified that the measure will be applied
from the next school year.
In Spain, classes start in September and end in June.
"We think that it is a positive measure, that it serves to give a change and respite to the institute, which is very affected.
It has suffered a lot from these events,"
said the official.
He also clarified that seven reports were prepared - from the educational inspection, from the services inspection, from the school management, from the pedagogical guidance team, from the counselor, from the tutor, and also from the USAV (Support Unit for Students in a Situation of Violence)- that will be
available to the court.
"A tragic event like this is a collective failure as a society
,
" the president of the Catalan Generalitat, Pere Aragonès,
told
Clarín in an exclusive interview.
“No words can replace the pain that parents feel when they lose one of their daughters or one of their sons.
Right now what we must do is accompany the family, their environment, the educational community and, above all, advance in the investigation because the family deserves to have all the information to be able to understand the reasons that may be behind this tragic event," he added.
On the Facebook page of the Llobregat de Sallent Institute, the last publication is from January 2016.
“Great turnout for the conference on bullying.
Very interesting!"
