The predicament affects a resident of Nelson Mandela Street 7, who has been unable to leave his residence since last December. The primary cause is a lack of electricity supply in the building's common areas, rendering the elevator, crucial for his mobility, inoperable.

The municipal group Adelante Izquierda Gaditana (AIG), through its spokespersons David de la Cruz and Helena Fernández, visited the property and urged the municipal company Procasa to intervene urgently. According to the group, the power outage is due to unpaid fees by some residents, which has kept the elevator out of service for over four months.

The young man's mother, Encarnación C., stated that her son suffers from severe respiratory insufficiency, preventing him from using stairs. She has appealed to the Cádiz City Council, via Procasa, to fulfill its responsibilities in managing the building and ensure accessibility. She claims to have spoken with Mayor Bruno García in March, who promised to find a solution, but she has not received any follow-up to her subsequent emails.

The seven-story building, home to 14 families, is owned by the Andalusian Housing and Rehabilitation Agency (AVRA) and managed by the Cádiz City Council through Procasa. In addition to the elevator issue, AIG has highlighted other maintenance deficiencies, including a faulty entrance door, damage to walls and ceilings, irregular occupation of spaces like the meter room, and a loose pane of glass above the main door, which they say poses a risk to residents.

The municipal group has requested Procasa to intervene subsidiarily to restore electricity and reactivate the elevator, citing similar past situations. To date, there has been no public response from the municipal government or Procasa regarding the measures to be taken. This case reignites the debate on the management and maintenance of public housing, particularly concerning accessibility for people with dependencies.
