Carmen Menduiña, Public Health Advisor: «PSOE lied in their accusations and must apologize. On June 3, our technicians inspected the school and no anomalies were detected»
Rosa María Medina, Education Counselor: «Do not seek political benefits that create unnecessary social alarm»
Lorca, June 25, 2025. The government team of the Municipal Council in Lorca today requested that the Socialist Municipal Group publicly retract the accusations made a few days ago regarding the alleged presence of insect damage at Caip Anaico Richard, statements that, as explained by any technical basis for public health, cause fear among children and discredit the exemplary educational community.
Menduiña confirmed that «on June 3, municipal technicians carried out a specific treatment against mosquitoes in the municipal schools. In this action, nothing unusual was detected or any situation involving the students. What happened was an individual situation of a student with a bite that cannot be linked to the Center».
From the Department of Education, its head, Rosa Medina, lamented «the ease with which PSOE played with the name of a school, creating confusion among families, damaging the image of the school itself, and sowing doubts about the performance of public workers, who acted in accordance with protocols and with full responsibility.»
«Instead of using institutional channels, would you rather make unfounded charges to gain political mileage? What do you care about, the well-being of minors or launching unjustified attacks?» added Medina.
It should be noted that the Department of Public Health works in a planned and continuous manner on the disinfection, disintegration, defeat, and disinfection of public spaces, including educational centers, sports facilities… and before an incident occurs, we act quickly and efficiently.
«When facts and documentation refute rumors, honesty demands apology and retraction. And this is what we ask of PSOE: apologize and do not use these types of issues as political ammunition,» concluded Medina.
The local administration has reiterated its commitment to public health, collaboration between fields, and institutional respect, as well as its firm support for all educational centers in Lorca and their management and teachers, in accordance with responsible municipal administration.
