The residents, who have been waiting three years for their new homes, express their frustration over the continuous postponements in delivery dates. "More of the same, they said April, then May... And nothing, zero," laments one of the affected individuals, whose 102-year-old mother's mobility is limited as she resides on a third floor without an elevator while awaiting the move.

The situation has led to many of these residents feeling their lives are "stagnant," with pending moves and the worry that the delay will prevent them from enjoying their new homes, especially for the elderly. "Four lifelong friends from Las Rehoyas have already passed away," notes the same resident, emphasizing how the lack of elevators in the old buildings affects the daily lives of residents with limited mobility.

During the protest, which took place this Tuesday, demonstrators pointed out that exterior work on the building, such as the installation of some aluminum windows that show signs of deterioration, is still pending. The slow pace of these tasks increases the concern of those affected.

The protest was supported by neighborhood representatives from other areas of the Gran Canaria capital, such as Juan Angulo, president of the Las Torres Altas Neighborhood Association (Avetal). Angulo highlighted that this problem is recurring in other parts of the city where the City Council is undertaking public housing rehabilitation projects, mentioning the case of La Paterna, where access conditions and elevator installations have also been affected.

Angulo criticized the presence of "trash everywhere" and the fact that elevators are not yet fully installed, despite the basic structure being in place. He also pointed out the deterioration of elements like railings and balconies, which already show signs of rust.
