The government of Castile-La Mancha, chaired by Emiliano García-Page, has expressed its opposition to the proposal to transform the Ciudad Real Airport in a temporary reception center for migrants, comparing the project to “a concentration camp”. Sources from the Regional Executive assured laSexta that the initiative It’s “an atrocity” and questioned the conditions of the place, located about 20 kilometers from the provincial capital.
Currently, the Ciudad Real Airport, underutilized and mainly used for private flights, is being evaluated by the Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration as a possible solution to alleviate migratory pressure in critical points such as the Canary Islands, Almería, Murcia and Alicante. . The plan envisages the installation of essential services such as bathrooms, barracks, dining rooms and health care areas.
However, the Castilian-Manchego executive assures that he has not received official information on this possibility and that There are much more adequate facilities in the area and worthy of welcoming migrants. According to their statements, using Ciudad Real airport for this purpose would not only be inappropriate due to its location, but would also deviate from the standards that a humanitarian reception center must meet.
At the same time, the Ministry of Migration is continuing the necessary studies to assess the feasibility of the projectwithout having yet made a final decision on the use of these facilities.
