On Saturday, the catering school La Cónsula to9ok the decision to close as from Monday July 1st as a result of insufficient funds after the Junta de Andalucia had a change of mind and postponed financial intervention.
The employees of the catering school have not been paid for months and, after repeated promises of financial aid failed to materialise, they have ‘had enough’.
The Minister of Tourism, Rafael Rodríguez, stated today that the Junta de Andalucia would ‘spare no effort’ to assist the school but would not be drawn on any sort of timescale.
Meanwhile, Málaga City Council is looking at trying to arrange a loan for the school to prevent its permanent closure.
