"Today we hold less in need partners because they hold"
José Pascual Ortuño, director general of law de Catalunya, understands the social mediator as an enhancer of dialogue among conflicting parties

If there is an authoritative voice to speak of social mediation, this is the José Pascual Ortuño. Currently CEO of Law and Legal Entities of the Generalitat de Catalunya, is one of the pioneers of this method of conflict resolution .

- If family mediation is becoming more, does that mean that the dialogue in families will increasingly less?

- The relationships today are very different from those I had previously. Now relations are much more sincere, and when they break is a different way. Previously there was a mattress that was an extended family, interests, and it was normal, although that would break the relationship, the couple remained together displaying a great hypocrisy. Today we have more capacity for dialogue, a capacity that did not exist.

- The elderly couples say they now endure less ...

- that can withstand not less. The woman has been released, since before his life was subject to man, and when she married was not going back. Put up with cars and carts, and many are not separated because they had no economic potential. It is no longer the case. So if the relationship today is not satisfactory, there is much more likely to break. And that's not bad. Not hold because there is no need endure. There is also a cultural factor. If a person has a different trend from that of your partner, it is logical to seek a more satisfying relationship with another partner.

- Here we go a little late on the issue of separation of couples ...

- Yes

- Is the burden of dictatorship?

- not only the dictatorship, is common in many Mediterranean countries. It is a conception of the family very own archaic Catholicism. But regardless of ideology and religion, mediation is almost always appropriate. In fact, mediation is recommended from the field of medicine.

- Medicine recommends mediation?

- The first mediation center in Barcelona has emerged in the Hospital de Sant Pau. Mediation is very close to health.

- When should a mediation?

- A large percentage of breaks in which the two sides have a good relationship and are able to reach agreement by themselves. Mediation is indicated when there is conflict, and where there are children. In this case it is almost essential. In contrast, in cases of violence, alcoholism or drug addiction, mediation is almost useless, as is when no children or interests. Mediation, in short, is appropriate if the parties have to maintain a relationship over time.

- What is the key to a good mediator?

- Do not attempt to provide solutions. The mediator must be a great communicator and analyzer of the conflict. Einstein said that there is no unsolvable problems, but ill-defined problems. The mediator will have to do is raise the problem well. The mediator must find the iceberg that lies behind the breakup of a relationship. When the parties are able to see the reality of the conflict, they are the ones who see the solution.

- In Catalonia, mediation is very successful. Is proving to be a very effective tool.

- A measure to be put into practice, many fears disappear into this method. It is starting to see the usefulness of this tool by all sectors of society: lawyers, psychologists ...

- With this proven, appears when the time comes to extend the method, and this requires that the government's drive. Do you give the government the importance it deserves mediation?

- Yes, a change in methodology is not easy. Furthermore, there is trained mediators, and if we tried to implement the mediation by a decree we find no specialists. A European directive and urged to implement mediation in the coming years, and besides, all the autonomous regions have begun to work in mediation, regardless of political color. In Islands, for instance, began a government team of one color, and when it changed, the project goes ahead. Therefore, mediation does not belong to a particular ideology, but it is generally accepted.
