The version of the Arrecife City Council and a resident of one of the houses of the La Destila school is completely different. While the Councilor for Education, Paca Toledo, stated last Tuesday on the Buenos Días Lanzarote program, on Radio Lanzarote, that there was no one living in those houses, Narciso Pérez assured a day later and on this same radio program that people were still inside them.
La Voz went to La Destila on Wednesday, where it was able to observe several open windows and personal belongings. However, no one opened the door of any of these houses, although there was evidence that several people lived in them.
The Councilor for Education of the Arrecife City Council, Paca Toledo, assured that "there is no one left in there" and only personal belongings have been found. "The person who was in the house has been required and given a deadline to vacate the house," explained the councilor.
However, it will be a judge who has to proceed with the forced eviction of the house. "When the judge comes, the house will be walled up for its subsequent demolition," said Toledo, who hopes that this court order will arrive soon and trusts that it will do so in early January. All this so that the expansion works of the school can begin to be carried out as soon as possible.
However, Narciso Pérez, one of the people who have resided in these houses of the former teachers of the La Destila school, assured on Radio Lanzarote that the City Council "was lying" and that people were still living in these houses. "I found out that the councilor said that there was no one in these houses anymore, that there were only furniture and belongings and that is not the case", Pérez criticized. "She said that she was going to fix it immediately and she has said a number of nonsense in the media," he insisted.
In this sense, he assured that he has a document, to which La Voz has had access, signed by the accidental mayor José Montelongo, in which it was assured that the houses were still inhabited and that a court order was required to proceed with the eviction of the same.
