The President of the Council of Andalusia, Juanma Moreno (PP-A), criticized on Tuesday the “chaos” and “failure” of the “migration policy” of the government of Pedro Sánchez, which he accuses of dispersing the people who arrive in Spain irregularly “in the form of packages”. This was stated by the Andalusian president in an interview with Onda Cero, where he asked for a Conference of Presidents to solve the problem due to the “lack of migration policy” that, according to him, exists in the government of Pedro Sánchez. “There is no capacity to guarantee the borders, as we see with The Canary Islands and Ceuta have collapsed“, or with the social services of Andalusia “at 120 percent of their capacity.”
In reference to Pedro Sánchez, and regarding the arrival last Monday of 85 immigrants transferred to Alcalá de Guadaíra (Seville) from sub-Saharan countries, Juanma Moreno affirmed that “if you believe in the State of Autonomies, you “The least you can do is inform the autonomous community of the arrival of these migrants and, of course, inform the city hall, in this case the mayor.”
Ana Isabel Jiménez, who the Andalusian president recalled as a socialist, learned of the arrival practically when she saw the buses. “We all learned about it from the press.“, noted Moreno, who criticized “this treatment reserved” for immigrants: “as if they were packages, placing them on one side, on the other, distributing them without rhyme or reason, without order or concert, without orderly planning.”
This is the same complaint that the Minister of Social Inclusion, Loles López, has been making for months. López has repeatedly said that the government treats immigrants as “Amazon Packages” or as “check-in baggage”. “This is a colossal absurdity which will only serve, first of all, those people who are fleeing, in this case Mali, a war conflict and a disastrous situationare rightly stigmatized; and secondly, it also encourages other political parties that want to make big speeches on this issue to do so as well,” said Juanma Moreno.
Regulated migration
The Andalusian president claimed a “regulated migration”. “This is what we need, both in Andalusia in particular and in Spain in general,” added Moreno, who explained that Andalusia must “have the productive capacity to maintain our public and social services.” In this sense, the Andalusian president called for work “to regulate, organize, control migration.”
“We must not only avoid further migration, but we must fight so that it does not come in, so that what is happening does not happen,” said the Andalusian president, who emphasizes that there are now “absolute lack of control” in which the numbers are not known and it is not known what the State is doing. “It puts the immigrants on a plane, puts them aside, takes them away, takes them out,” Juanma Moreno continued.
The Andalusian leader suggested to Sánchez to “also convene the Conference of Presidents” to address this issue, and insisted on asking that “we work with a migration that must be orderly” and “with the greatest transparency.” Moreno highlighted the “failure” that, according to him, characterizes “migration policy” de Sánchez, and in this regard he said that although “it is true that there have always been waves of migrants” in Spain, he does not remember chaos like that experienced in the south of Spain and in the Atlantic with the Canary Islands.
“The mafias They moved the entire migratory axis from the east to the west of the Mediterranean and towards the Atlantic part of the Canary Islands, because they saw a gulf, because they saw a permeability, because they saw a clear inability of the Sánchez government to control the borders of our country,” Moreno added.
Andalusian example
The president is “surprised by the lack of any institutional loyalty” on the part of the central Executive “to inform at least the local and regional authorities of the transfer of these people”, and gave as an example of planning the immigration policy that is This takes place in Andalusia, during the harvest campaign of strawberries and other red fruits. “Every year they come 20,000 Moroccans, mainly for work with direct original contracts and that once their work is finished, they return to their lands,” he stressed.
“What is done in Andalusia and is done regularly, can be realized and applied to other formulas “We also have work, but for all this we must have a state policy,” said Juanma Moreno, who stressed that we must have “border control and control to organize this immigration,” starting from the principle that “if we saturate public services, we will not be able to serve these people.
Moreno defended “the regulation, organization, planning, promotion and cooperation between administrations in this area, which is a state affair“Under the direction of the State, it will work,” and “everything that is botched, the improvisation, the little dribble, to which the Sánchez government has accustomed us, will be a failure, as we are experiencing in Spain,” he concluded.
