The CEIP Alfredo Molina Martín, located in Almería, has experienced a serious episode of vandalism that has led to the breakage of more than twenty glass panes in windows and doors. This incident, which occurred during Holy Week, has generated significant economic costs for municipal coffers, which are already managing the removal and repair of the damage.
Municipal sources have confirmed that this is not the first time the educational center has faced such a situation. The school's management has indicated that this has been the most severe act of vandalism to date, affecting key areas such as the dining hall, classrooms, and main entrances. Repairs are being hampered by the scarcity of available glass companies.
“"It is not the first time the center has been a victim of an aggression to its facade, its furniture, or its doors and windows. In fact, there are still windows with broken glass from last year that have not been repaired."
In addition to the destruction, the educational community reports recurring problems of dirt and improper use of the facilities. There have been daily reports of trash and old belongings in the playground, as well as unauthorized access by individuals to the center outside school hours, which sometimes prevents the 130 enrolled students from using the playground.
“"This has been the most serious act of vandalism, because they have not left a single pane of glass unbroken in all the windows and doors visible from the outside. The damage affects the dining room, classrooms, and main entrances of the school. We still have many taped up to prevent them from falling off."
The school's management and families have expressed their concern about the critical situation they are experiencing, seeking solutions to a problem that, far from improving, seems to be worsening over time. The Almería City Council is auditing 48 schools to design an infrastructure improvement plan.
