The Government delegate in Madrid informs Sol by email that he will expand the reception places for immigrants in Alcalá and Carabanchel by the 213th.

The Regional Government has been informed by the Government Delegation, by email, of an extension of places in the two spaces intended for the reception of immigrants transferred from the Canary Islands, in Alcalá de Henares and Carabanchel. In each of them, around 100 places are added, for a total of 2,700 accommodated in the two establishments. The regional government regretted the “cynicism” of the PSOE, which “criticizes the opening of the La Cantueña center for unaccompanied immigrant minors, with 99 places”, while expanding these “macro camps”.

The Government of the Nation opened the two centers – public establishments of the State – in Alcalá de Henares and Carabanchel to accommodate adult immigrants arriving from the Canary Islands. Now, through an email notification, it informs the Regional Executive that it will increase the places in both cases.

Concretely, in Alcalá, 105 additional places will be opened, and in Carabanchel, 108 places. This means, explained the spokesperson for the regional government, Miguel Ángel García Martín, a total of 2,700 places between the two spaces.

García Martín criticized the opposition of the Fuenlabrada City Council, governed by the PSOE, to the center for immigrant minors that the Community of Madrid has opened there, which has around 90 places, while those of “these macrocamps” intended for adult immigrants transferred to Madrid from the Canary Islands.
