Key Points
- Vandalism with graffiti found inside and outside Prat del Roure underground car park in Escaldes-Engordany.

- Calls for civic responsibility as repairs burden taxpayers.
Escaldes-Engordany officials are investigating vandalism at the underground municipal car park in Prat del Roure, where graffiti including signatures, insults, and drawings has appeared on walls and structures both inside and outside the facility.
The damage, noticed in recent days, has severely marred this key public space used by many parish residents. The comú has confirmed it is following standard procedures for such incidents, starting with an effort to identify those responsible using the site's video surveillance system.
Actions will vary by age: for minors, officials will contact families and refer cases to relevant services; for adults, a formal police complaint will follow to establish liability.
The parish acknowledges that vandalism like this frequently remains unsolved, preventing sanctions. In those instances, the Hygiene Department steps in for cleaning and repainting, funded by taxpayer money—a burden officials deeply regret.
Escaldes-Engordany has urged greater civic responsibility, noting that these communal areas form part of the parish's shared legacy and that repair expenses affect all residents.
