Users who stay there “spend the night Crowded, damp, with broken doors and windows“In the bedrooms and impractical common areas,” the city council’s delegate for social rights and preferential care neighborhoods explained at the time, Jose Luis Garcia.
Without going into further details, sources from the center confirmed to ABC that:Whenever there is rain the light goes out“Because the electrical panel is in bad condition,” and that when heavy rain falls, “the buildings sink because the building has deficiencies in the roof.” One social worker even received an electric shock as a result of the water leak.
For its part, the Socialist Workers’ Party claimed at the time that the municipal government blamed it for the shelter’s condition, rebuking the Popular Party for not carrying out “any maintenance or upkeep tasks in these municipal facilities” and that, in response, it had resorted to “An embarrassing argument “All these defects are the fault of a government that stopped running 20 months ago.”
