The party 100x100 Unidos por Algeciras has once again highlighted the prolonged absence of a health center in the La Bajadilla neighborhood of Algeciras, a situation that, according to the group, has affected over 25,000 residents since 2020.

The political formation has reported that, despite announcements, construction of this healthcare facility has not begun, creating a situation that its spokesperson, Andrés Maderal, has described as “unsustainable.” The criticism intensifies when comparing the situation in Algeciras with other Andalusian cities such as Cádiz, Huelva, Málaga, Jerez de la Frontera, or San Fernando, where new healthcare facilities are being announced and implemented.

"It has been six years of waiting, unfulfilled promises, and excuses that do not solve the real problem for thousands of families."

100x100 Unidos por Algeciras questions whether the residents of La Bajadilla are considered “less important” than those in other Andalusian municipalities, linking this issue to a perceived lack of political influence of the city in the decisions of the Junta de Andalucía. Therefore, the party insists on the need for Algeciras to have its own voice to defend its interests.
Miriam Vizcaíno, a member of the party's social group, has emphasized the direct repercussions of this deficiency for the neighborhood's inhabitants. The absence of a health center forces many residents, especially the elderly, to travel to the city center's outpatient clinic, which entails considerable difficulties.
The group has reiterated its support for the residents of La Bajadilla and has assured that it will maintain its demand until the health center becomes a reality. They argue that the neighborhood deserves quality public services and a definitive response to an ongoing wait that, according to their complaints, has lasted for six years.
