The Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration is evaluating the possibility of opening a CAED in the facilities of the Ciudad Real Airportthe use of which is currently marginal, for certain private flights. This would be a temporary center to take care of welcoming people arrivals on the coasts and derivatives of the Canary Islands, the Balearic Islands and other arrival points on the peninsula such as Murcia, Almería or Alicante.

According to laSexta, this Ciudad Real airport It has been closed since 2012without any type of commercial activity and to make it useful, the government is studying the opening of a temporary accommodation center to people arriving on the Spanish coast.
The executive is currently conducting an analysis to see if this would be viable. If there was room for toilets, barracks, dining room or healthcare. Although they confirm that no decision has been made yet and it is one of several sites across Spain that could be a good location.
However, the government of Castilla la Mancha assures Sexta that the use of this airport as a hostel would be a “barbarism“, not because of the migrants but because of where and how they want to do it, about 20 kilometers from the capital. Thus, they add, At no time were they informed of anything. A macro-lodge which, according to them, would be more like a concentration camp.
