“There is no definitive report or sanction”, says the Consell de Formentera on the inspection of the Residence for the Elderly.

The Consell Insular de Formentera has come out on Wednesday against the claims of the UGT union about an alleged detection of “serious deficiencies” in the Residencia des Brolls, the center for the elderly of the island.

As explained by the institution, the document issued by the Labor Inspectorate on October 14 is a diligence and preventive requirement, an ordinary procedure that sets deadlines for reviewing technical aspects, without any infraction or administrative sanction having been issued.

An ordinary action, not a sanctioning action

The Consell assures that all the documentation requested within the inspection process is currently being provided, and that there is still no definitive report. Therefore, it considers that “any statement about results or deficiencies is premature and unfounded“.

The fire extinguishers complied with regulations

In relation to the alleged safety deficiencies, the Consell emphasizes that the fire extinguishers in the residence were within the legal review period. The official documentation accredits that their maintenance was valid until November 1, 2025, and that before that date the new revision had already been completed. Therefore, there was no situation of risk or non-compliance.

The Consell denounces manipulation

From the insular institution they qualify as “flagrant manipulation” the fact that “a technical diligence and a request for documentation have been presented as a definitive report with accusations of serious deficiencies” by UGT. The Consell considers that these statements “generate unjustified alarm among citizens”.

It also reiterates that it collaborates fully with the Labor Inspectorate, and that, if in the future aspects to be improved are identified, “they will be corrected immediately and with the utmost rigor“.
