Costa Calma nursery to open next school year; council will take case to Supreme Court

The Pájara City Council issues a reassuring message, stating that the municipal nursery will continue operating normally and announcing that it will file a cassation appeal after the Provincial Court confirmed the eviction of the premises.

The Pájara City Council announced that it will file a cassation appeal before the Supreme Court following the ruling of the Provincial Court of Las Palmas, which confirmed the eviction of the property housing the municipal nursery in Costa Calma.

According to the council, the service will continue to be provided without interruption, and necessary measures will be taken to guarantee the nursery’s continuity and offer stability to the families that use it.

The judgment upholds the eviction because the owning company proved its title to the plot where the nursery is located in the town of Costa Calma.

In an official statement, the council emphasized that there is “absolutely no problem at all” with the businessman involved in the litigation, framing the actions taken within the municipality’s technical‑legal criteria.

“There is absolutely no problem at all with the entrepreneur we are in dispute with,” the council said.

The governing team explained that the decision to appeal follows the recommendations of the municipal legal services, aiming to exhaust all judicial avenues, defend public interests, and explore every legal option available.

The council stressed that the judicial process is not yet concluded and that the matter could still be resolved before the Supreme Court.

Meanwhile, the Department of Nurseries and Early Childhood Schools has already opened the enrollment process for the 2026‑2027 academic year, signaling continuity and normalcy for the families that rely on the service.

A Dispute Over the Nursery’s Plot

The conflict dates back to the procedure concerning the plot on Avenida Happag Lloyd, in the Cañada del Río urbanization, where the Costa Calma nursery is situated.

According to a previous report by Fuerteventura Digital, a 2024 court ruling concluded that the council was occupying the land without a legitimate title and ordered it to be vacated. The Provincial Court of Las Palmas later confirmed that decision, creating uncertainty about the nursery’s future.

After the ruling became public, the Popular Party of Pájara criticized the municipal management and demanded explanations from the governing group about the measures planned to prevent service interruptions for families.

Popular Party spokesperson Miryam de León argued that the council should have first sought a negotiated solution with the landowner and called for action “with total transparency” to clarify the consequences of the judgment and the nursery’s continuity.

“The council should have looked for a negotiated solution with the landowner and act with total transparency to explain the judgment’s impact and ensure the nursery’s continuity,” de León said.
