Violence at IES Playa Flamenca has raised significant concerns among parents and the local community. Recent incidents of fights and disturbances have surged following the tragic death of fifteen-year-old Cloe, allegedly at the hands of her ex-boyfriend. The police have increased their presence at the school; however, many parents feel that measures taken so far are not adequate to address the ongoing issues.

Reports indicate a pattern of young people engaging in fights, often egged on by onlookers, with many disputes starting within the school and spilling out onto the streets. Parents express frustration, claiming that while some students have been expelled, the problem persists without effective intervention. Local authorities acknowledge that addressing this issue is complex, despite ongoing efforts.

In light of recent events, communities have highlighted the need for structured activities for young people in order to provide alternatives to violence and delinquency. The PSOE has proposed a motion to establish a leisure agenda aimed at engaging younger residents. This plan includes suggestions for annual hiring to manage these activities and the creation of a Civic Night Leisure Committee in Orihuela.

Additionally, reports of predatory behaviour in the area around the school have surfaced, where individuals allegedly distribute small quantities of drugs to lure young people into criminal activity. The community is calling for more support and resources to ensure the safety and well-being of its youth, aiming to transform the school environment into a positive space.
