Controversy over paramilitary academy in Argentina and psychological support in Ceuta

In Argentina, controversy has emerged regarding the ‘Academia Premilitar General José San Martín’ in Corrientes. The institution, which subjects children and adolescents to physical resistance exercises and water immersion in the Paraná River, has been distanced from the Argentine Army, which stated it has no affiliation with the academy. Reports indicate that parents are required to purchase air rifles for shooting practice and participate in raffles to fund the academy's activities.

In Spain, authorities in Ceuta are moving to reinforce psychological support following a period of instability marked by a military presence at schools. Local representatives have proposed mental health programs for the educational community in collaboration with the Official College of Psychology. These measures aim to address the emotional impact on students and residents, alongside initiatives to restore social leisure activities for youth.
