Churriana Residents Protest New Juvenile Detention Center

Churriana Residents Protest Juvenile Detention Center Opening Málaga, Spain – Residents of Churriana are escalating their opposition to the planned June 1st opening of a new Center for Juvenile Offenders (CIMI). Concerns over construction flaws, permit irregularities, and the center's suitability for the neighborhood are fueling the protests. A demonstration is scheduled for Saturday, May 31st, at 11:00 am in front of the Tabacalera building. "We see our daily lives disrupted in a place we chose to live peacefully," stated Berta González, a local resident. Another resident, Carmen Sánchez, added, "You can't ask for one permit to put up fences, and another to tear them down. It's a fraud of the law." The video shows the building, which appears to be under construction, and highlights the residents' worries about the lack of suitable infrastructure and space for the minors. The protest aims to persuade the Andalusian regional government to reconsider its decision. The community's determination to protect their neighborhood is evident.
