Centres of Internment of Foreigners in Spain, with no room for more – Radio La Primerísima (press Release) (blog)

The steady trickle of boats that have arrived to the andalusian coast since September has been completed by saturating the Centres of Internment of Foreigners (CIE) to house in Motril (Granada, spain) and Almeria, which has forced the police to stop you on the street some 150 immigrants while waiting to resolve his administrative record of expulsion or return.

Both the Red Cross as the Junta de Andalucia have put the cry in the sky by the precipitation of the measure, given that the immigrants are in a situation of abandonment, but for those affected it is as if they play the lottery, because most of them have already left the region and are now unaccounted for.

police Sources have confirmed that it was opt-out in the street to about 90 people who remained in the facilities of the port of Motril (Granada), faced with the impossibility of having them controlled in the CIE. When they arrive at port, the situation is a limbo: they are not detained, but must pass a maximum of 72 hours held by the police while it identifies them and opens the file to determine its status and to initiate the expulsion or the return.

After that time, and while running the file, you can move with freedom. Usually usually go to the CIE, which makes it easier to have some control over them.

The problem arises when the ICD does not give supply, and the migrants must be sought in life. Only in September came to Motril 427 immigrants, and since the beginning of the year are already more than 681, as the data that drives the volunteers. Faced with the impossibility of giving accommodation to the recent immigrants have arrived since Sunday, all already with the removal order for being illegally in Spanish territory, the police proceeded to move some of them to the bus station, and from there got in contact with friends or acquaintances or they managed on their own. Red cross Motril tried to articulate a response to avoid being left “in a situation of helplessness”, according to the provincial coordinator Francisco Escribano. “We can’t leave them in the street no more.”

The organization provided food to the bulk of the group, who opted to move to Madrid, and was able to re-house to half a hundred in other hostels that manages in Malaga and Granada. The situation was repeated in Almeria, where the judicial authority left to go to 50 algerians who arrived the weekend after serving the maximum term that could remain in the receiver modules located in the port. At the beginning of September another two dozen immigrants stood in the street, faced with the impossibility of being transferred to ICN by lack of places.

From the Junta de Andalucia is looking to the Government office in search of answers. The minister of Equality and Social Policy, María José Sánchez Rubio, confided yesterday, Friday, in the Executive are “rethinking” the situation of the ICD to prevent a repeat of the episode and not left on the street to immigrants. “We will have to find some solution for that are not in a situation of abandonment and neglect,” he said, recalling that even though they are managed by non-governmental organizations, the competition last is the administration of the State.
