Antonio Jesus Bautista leads to the front of CETI of Ceuta since September 3. He was previously captain of Civil Guard and Red Cross volunteer. He Government of Pedro Sánchez He charged him with redirecting the oversaturated center after resignation of its former director, José Durán, but its workers denounce OKDIARIO Andalusia that Bautista converted the CETI in a “hotel” where immigrants live as if they were “customers”. They have “taxis to go to the mosque”they manage their own souks do business within the center and have “gyms “private services paid for” by the director himself, whom the inmates call “uncle”.
“They are no longer vulnerable here. Some go to work in the morning then come to sleep at CETI. It’s as if it were a pension or a hotel,” an employee of the center who was a CETI official tells OKDIARIO Andalucía. “Bautista puts them Taxis go to the mosque and even pay for them private gyms. There was someone who was taken to get his black belt. karate and of taekwondo», says this worker.
HAS Duran He was already accused of excessive cronyism with residents, but according to other sources familiar with the situation at CETI, Bautista crossed the line: “It’s one thing that he’s there to take care of the residents and another thing is what he does. What the previous director did was already surprising, because he gave them three hours of hearing when they were complaining about a bun on the menu, but this one follows a line that goes further. Now the motto is: What they want. He pays for their taxis to go and pray at the mosque. If a boy comes in with broken legs after jumping the fence, yes, a taxi is paid for to take him to the hospital. But it’s crazy. “He pays a lot for his taxis and we don’t know how he’s going to justify that.”
And it only took Bautista two months to turn CETI employees against him. “The position is becoming too big for him. You exceed the limits with the workers, responding to them with bad manners, telling them that if they don’t like their work, they should go to Moncloa. He does things wrong everywhere. Security agents, kitchen, integration technicians, social workers, maintenance… He doesn’t trust anyone and he wants to monopolize everything,” the aforementioned source explains to the newspaper.
“He’s a dictator”
The accusations are serious, but it is only the “tip of the iceberg”, underline the same sources, who denounce that “people are afraid”. “He’s a dictator. He threatens to open files for everything. Asked the camera passwords and he has them on his cell phone. From his phone, he controls everything that happens,” they add.
“Now all of us who work there, who are civil servants or external staff of other companies, have to treat them as if they were customers“, explains the head of CETI, who recalls that “with the former boss we could at least talk, but not with this one”: “Bautista acts as he wants and says that he just has to explain in Madrid. »
“They even came to have a hair salon own. That’s it forbiddenbut there was a sub-Saharan resident who cut people’s hair. It also happens that you give them sneakers, that they sell them and that they ask for more”, explain the aforementioned sources. Another worker, for his part, affirms that “two of them put in place a sort of souk at CETI, where they sell drinks and food inside the center”, which is also “forbidden“.
“The other day there was one smoke a joint in front of the Police and the immigrant told the agent that he could not tell him anything because the CETI is his residence”, explains a manager of the center, who remembers another “shameful” episode with an employee: “A few days ago, to a kitchen assistant, an immigrant He called her a whore twice. The young girl, who is Muslim like him, said to him: Damn your mother, I’m not a whore. And the immigrant said to him: Well now I’m going to talk to my uncle. The guy is the new manager. And the director set up a scandalsaying they should be treated like customers even if they were insulted.
Even though barely two months have passed since the Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration elected the new director of CETI, the situation has already become untenable in the eyes of civil servants, who have moved from care work to work by and for immigrants, who live and use the facilities like a hotel taking advantage of the fact that the Uncle Bautista granted them the status of “clients”.
