The minister explained that it would in any case be an Emergency Reception Center (CAEF) open with all services, in accordance with the model that the Government “this continues throughout Spain.”
“These are centers where there are short-term stays, but we are talking about people. There are a series of criteria and habitability requirements to be respected, including with services like electricity and water,” he said.
Finally, he wanted to distance himself from the immigration model of the Italian Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, who established an immigrant concentration camp in Albania. “These are closed or semi-closed detention centers, outside European legality.

“As if it were a cargo ship”
This Wednesday, the regional president, Emiliano García-Pageaccused the Spanish government of trying “hide” the regional executive the attempt to transform airport facilities into a reception center for immigrants.
