The particular options and macros for Spanish are in the package "babel-spanish", whose manual is here (https://ctan.javinator9889.com/macros/latex/contrib/babel-contrib/spanish/spanish.pdf). It is in Spanish, but there is a resume in English at the end.

Oddly, the LaTeX instruction SHOULD work: it deactivates the three characters
as shorthands, permanently; as clearly stated in the manual of babel-spanish
(beginning of page 8).
I believe the problem is in the document class, not the language package, as
this does not happen with other document classes.
Download the two TeX files (variants of the letter document) attached and
process them with pdflatex (pdflatex name-of-file.tex). No errors arose in my
system (LinuxMint 21.2 with TeXLive).
- One has some environments after the body of the letter commented out.
- The other, has replaced the problematic character > for " (added the latter
to \spanishdeactivate). This should yield the very same problem, but does not.
Altogether hints the problem is in some particular environments of this class.
Unfortunately, I do not know LaTeX that much to dive into the document class
definition to figure out the source of the problem.

I provide a better workaround for this problem: custom command to set the
language in Document > Settings... > Language.
The command is
\usepackage[spanish,es-noquoting]{babel}
which sets the document's language to Spanish and disables the shorthands < and
