VALENCIA
Illegal worker loses arm in horrific accident
and ordered by boss to keep quiet
A 32 year old Bolivian man who was living and working ille-
gally in Spain lost his arm in an accident in the bakery in which
he worked in Valencia last month. Edgar Franns Rilles Melgar,
who is currently in hospital, told a work inspector that back in
May he lost his limb after it became trapped in a machine. He
was callously warned by his boss not to tell the truth about what
had happened. The employer cleaned the machine and dumped
the severed limb in the bin. Police officers found it several hours
later, but unfortunately it couldn’t be reattached. The victim
apparently worked 12 hour shifts six days a week for 900 euros
a month, which was later reduced to 700 euros.
MALAGA
Tragic weekend on Malaga roads
Two people lost their lives and six others were injured on the
roads of the province of Malaga last weekend. One of the fatal
accidents occurred on Sunday morning when an Opel Corsa left
the road on the bridge over the Camino de Torrox on the A-7 in
Vélez-Málaga. It appears that the driver lost control after a tyre
burst. An 18-year-old girl from Malaga died and her boyfriend,
22, who was driving the car, was seriously injured after the car
plunged 20 metres, hitting a pillar on the way down. The couple
were on their way to spend the day on the beach in Maro-Cerro
Gordo. Witnesses described the accident as “brutal”, adding
that “it was bad luck that the tyre burst just when they were on
the bridge”. On Saturday afternoon a motorcyclist was killed
on the AP-7 in Estepona after he crashed into the safety barri-
er. Another five youths, all under the age of 25, suffered injuries
of varying gravity in two different accidents in the city of Mala-
ga on Saturday.

17 per cent compared with the

the lowest number since 2004,
when the Ministry of Housing
first began issuing this informa-
tion.
In one year, property sales
have dropped by 32 per cent,
although Malaga province still
has one of the healthiest proper-
ty markets in the country. The
province is among the six whose
property transactions make up
37.9 per cent of the total, together
with Madrid, Barcelona,
Alicante, Valencia and Murcia.
The biggest drop has been in
the sale of brand new properties,
with a reduction of 39.4 per cent
in one year and 24.6 per cent in
the last three months. The num-
ber of resale properties sold is
down by 21.6 per cent and 7.6 per
cent respectively.
Crisis to blame
The economic crisis, the rise in
unemployment and the increas-
ingly strict demands made by
banks in order to grant loans are
the reasons behind these figures.
However, some experts believe
that things aren’t as bad as they
seem. José Antonio Pérez of the
