Overview

• Agustín Jiménez, 76, is conducting an open-ended fast from his town-hall office to demand a secondary school in Noblejas.
• The clash is within the PSOE, as the Castilla-La Mancha government rejects a Noblejas site, citing 40–60 students per year and planning the new center in Ocaña.
• Regional authorities point to the 10-kilometer distance to Ocaña and the availability of free school transport for compulsory education.
• The mayor says the institute was approved in 2011 and claims the project and municipal funding are ready for construction.
• Local organizers report more than 2,500 signatures backing the school, while colleagues warn of health risks due to his diabetes.
