Alicante's Controversy: Elevator Fiasco at CEIP Voramar

Alicante's Elevator Dilemma: Impacts on Education

The elevator at CEIP Voramar, which has been out of service, has sparked significant political debate in Alicante. Conseller of Education, José Antonio Rovira, is involved in this uproar, alleging that the recurring malfunction of the elevator might be due to systematic sabotage. During an interview, Rovira stated that the mayor reported technical assessments suggesting that the faults were suspected 'acts of sabotage' aimed at keeping the elevator non-operational at the start of the school year.

This claim has sparked outrage among parents, notably after a harrowing incident where a mother was seen carrying her child up the stairs. Minister of Education, Pilar Alegría, emphasized the urgent need for repairs, calling on the municipal government to rectify the situation promptly to ensure that all children receive a quality education without hindrance.

Responses from the Local Community

Local education associations have expressed their full support for CEIP Voramar's administration, condemning any insinuations of foul play. They assert that the focus should remain on ensuring functional facilities rather than engaging in political finger-pointing. The damage caused by the elevator's malfunction unfortunately affects students with mobility challenges, highlighting the need for inclusive measures in education.
