Two women were injured when an elevator in a building they were travelling in failed and collapsed inside a building. The incident, which happened around 18:30 on Wednesday, was in a building located in the Plaza de Calvo Sotelo of Alicante.

The two women were rescued by emergency services and taken by ambulance to the General Hospital of Alicante.

A woman who was arrested in Alicante during the attempt to stop an eviction has agreed to two years in prison for a crime of assault, committed against police officers, who pushed through Stop Evictions protesters who blocked access to a property, whereas another young man who was also arrested for the same offence has accepted a sentence of eight months, but the custodial sentences have been suspended as they are under two years. In addition, the husband of the arrested woman also accepted an eight month sentence for the same offence, despite not being arrested for the incident; he volunteered himself to the judge at the time of sentencing his wife.

The council of Almoradí are in something of a unique position, as they closed their 2012 financial year with a surplus of funds, amounting to 2,806,000 euro.

An investigation is being carried out but it is believed that the two men were involved in a fight, which resulted in the stabbing and subsequent death of the victim. Both men were originally neighbours and friends, the victim sharing his house with four other people, all of North African origin, the alleged perpetrator sharing his home with a Spanish national.

The manager of the El Olivo second hand market in Catral has announced yesterday that he will take criminal action against the Mayor, Pedro Zaplana, for an offence of alleged malfeasance, by signing the decree that saw the closure of the unlicensed market. Guardia Civil and Local Police officers prevented traffic and pedestrians from accessing the market last weekend, effectively forcing the closure of the facility, as the site does not have the specific requirements under the general plan for holding a market of this type. The Guardia Civil were also checking the documents held by the traders to ensure they were properly registered as self employed market traders.

The PSOE in Pilar de la Horadada has joined with Caritas to launch a campaign to collect food for the hungry and needy in the town.
