Daily Country exposes exposes the Spanish city of Melilla as fortified “impeccable model rejection of immigration” and reveals “ethical holes” of the fence and politics of the European Union (EU).

The civil guard lights a Winston stepped off the SUV and looking at the Melilla fence from the hill where it can be seen better. On the hill of Nano River, a sensitive point. So there is still cutting wire fences, concertinas, and measures up to eight meters. 2.5 kilometers of fence are like this, of a total of 11.5. Grab the fence, you look up and you realize that you would not get even half climbing. And three. More new Moroccan side who have just finished building and that it does not intersect with the blades. Morocco is a curious case of a country that does not want immigrants to step out of their borders. Why? Because it is not known, but they are the kind of things that are not made free. It is the difference with Turkey, at least there is written on paper, no matter how embarrassing it may be. Changing values of the EU has benefited Melilla: to be a reference in the violation of human rights by the fence has become a role model. Although Europeans have grown up with the myth of Steve McQueen jumping his motorcycle wire how are you, pursued by the Nazis, in The Great Escape.
In his office in Madrid, Interior Minister Jorge Fernandez Diaz , he is satisfied: “we are doing things as they should be.” Remember that when you started going to their first meetings of the EU “that the land border with Africa sounded like Chinese, the problem did not exist.” Now either, Melilla has become impregnable. The ministry gives all the facilities to see how it works in Melilla, Civil Guard and National Police teach you everything. They work well. You understand their point of view. Be radically practical without thinking too much, because it gives you something. “When you’re there, watching an assault, feel pain, much pain, we are not insensitive, but do tell me how we handle this! It is very easy to speak from an office in northern Europe, “said the delegate of the Government of Melilla, Abdemalik El-Barkani.
The commander of the Civil Guard in Melilla, Arturo Ortega, did not sleep almost not a whole night alone last year. It sounded the alarm and jumped out of bed. Displays in his office a night video of the border where rows of black bodies are in a white landscape, the heat given off in the dark. It’s the same in cars controls, sensors detect the sound of the heart. Hunger them moves, the skin color indicates them discover their body temperature, heartbeat betray them. Human betrays, is a cluster of problems. The few NGOs working in Morocco, harassed and monitored by the authorities, they know. Doctors Without Borders was deployed in 2013.
According to the latest estimates, now there are about 1,900 people living in the foothills of Mount Gurugú, next to Melilla. Several NGOs denounce agree that survive like animals without clean water and persecuted by the police, when there appears burn them shops, clothing and batters. The main camp is called Bolingo, with about 700 people, many of them women. There are about 120 children. Nigerian mafia is the boss and organizes outings in small boats. Where most people arrive in recent months it is from Cameroon. Where is it exactly? What happens there? They are fighting the Islamic fanatical group kidnaps girls, Boko Haram. And they sell us oil and we envelopes soups.
The Civil Guard sees them come with their cameras, even at night, five kilometers. “Anti-intrusion device” is then activated. Moroccan forces call to go to cut them off. Mandan helicopter. If they manage to reach the fence is the highlight. “We are the last hurdle, and after that have passed these creatures this is a drama, we are all afraid, with 300 people who want to improve yourself as,” says an agent. When they run out forces they remain perched on the fence, sometimes up to four hours. Start a dialogue, usually in French, to convince them that fall: “Come, you have not got it.” “The Mali are the noblest, down and even ask your forgiveness for the inconvenience”, have civil guards. When the door accompany them often they say that they will try again. Then, officially, no idea what happens to them. Questions and everyone is crazy. . Minister down
This dense palisade of rules and regulations has covered only with silence moral holes, questions are left unanswered: what about these people in Morocco, before and after adding them to the fence? How does Morocco cap even with the Syrians? in exchange for? Are we in your hands to control emigration? “The stability and security of Morocco is strategic for Spain,” sums strictly political language Fernandez Diaz, and is thinking of all the hassles that prevent us jihadism, drug trafficking and illegal immigration. There is another question that answers itself almost everyone in the same way: what if the fence is removed? Answer do not want to even think about it. Short-term solutions are not usually fair, but is that just took 20 years. The EU remains without a long political vision.
At the border crossing of Beni Ansar, a woman gives four steps on Spanish soil and dropped. It is a black woman, but clear skin, that has managed to circumvent the Moroccan control masquerading blackberry, with a veil. Simula who faints, then certified as a doctor, and stay there sitting, leaning against a wall. Next there are three other guys who also just get by with the booming technology: hidden in the false bottom of a vehicle. They were all three in the bowels of an old Mercedes 250 thousand years, although it seems impossible. The driver, as he entered Spanish territory, got out and ran back to Morocco. Those who were locked inside were lucky, because sometimes just leave the car abandoned in a ditch. If you’re lucky, someone hears screams. Calls come Police Station there is a car talking. So the Civil Guard found a pregnant woman in a gas tank, so embedded that could not leave. They had to take her to the workshop headquarters to remove. Already they are charging 4,000 euros for the trip. He has risen, because the fence and small boats are impossible. If more jumps or steps Strait, car prices low. But all is already getting into the dashboard to a Renault Clio, increasingly use smaller cars.
In this strange adult game to win just set foot on the other side of the line, as when children come home in the hideout. But for some reason this does not apply in the fence. According fall, if caught, they take them again. They are the famous hot returns. Everyone, former police, neighbors, that all life has done so surreptitiously and with the complicity of the Moroccan police, but now it’s better, because it is already legal. Those who jump and escape through legs, running between olive trees and perfumed bushes, feeling that they have succeeded, come to the Center of Temporary Stay of Immigrants (CETI) and there can finally and rest.
