Approximately 200 residents of Cas Capiscol demonstrated this Friday to say "no to crime" and demanded "security, civic responsibility, and respect," as well as "immediate solutions" for the former Palma prison and the nearly 300 people who live there. "We want to take our children to school without fear," "A safe environment also educates," "Neglect puts our children at risk," and "We want a well-cared-for neighborhood, not a forgotten one" were some of the slogans displayed by the demonstrators on orange banners. The president of the Cas Capiscol Residents' Association, Biel González, called for solutions for the neighborhood's residents and also for the inhabitants of the former prison. "It's very dangerous in terms of security and health," he said. He noted that in recent months, "low-intensity" acts of vandalism have proliferated. "The other day, someone snatched a neighbor's purse, and another person was mugged from behind," she reported. The children of CEIP Cas Capiscol were also at the demonstration and were demanding "security," because they suffer daily from the consequences of the tense coexistence that has recently developed between the neighbors and some residents of the former prison. "There have been robberies at the school gates, they see people loitering around the school with evidence of having used drugs, people showering in the fire hydrants, they smell tire smoke," said the school's principal, Ana Eva Álvarez. For this reason, the school has adopted a staff agreement to reinforce security at the entrances, has changed the entrance and exit doors, and has put up tarpaulins in the playground to prevent incidents. "And we want to continue like this, but that means extra reinforcement, and teachers shouldn't have to be police officers," she stated.
