Safe Passage Cantabria has organized this week’s events to raise awareness about the common problem of the borders, both by the situation of the refugees abandoned in countries such as Greece, but also in the southern border of the Spanish, recalling the massacre of immigrants three years ago at The Tarajal.
The Tarajal
In a few days will occur on the 3rd anniversary of the crime of The Tarajal beach in Ceuta in which 15 immigrants died drowned them access to the same Civil Guard shooting smoke canisters and rubber balls (for higher order), in a "crime that is still unpunished."
in order To remember it, have organized the screening of a documentary this Friday at 19.30 in The Maelstrom. It is 'El Tarajal. Removing the impunity in the southern border'.
And on Saturday at 12.00 pm in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento de Santander has called a protest rally, with the slogan 'Borders killer. States guilty: we do not forget nor Greece, nor the Tarajal'.
Both acts seek to "connect" both of these situations, the problem of refugees in Greece and the difficulties of migrants trying to reach Spain.
"His problems are the same: a few States that do not comply with the Law and do not respect the life", reported Patricia Manrique, a member of Safe Passage.
In Greece "are the people accumulated without doing anything, dying of cold and and even committing suicide" in a situation that is "unbearable" because "there is a plan to move them" while in Spain the institutions are not "doing nothing" except "statements that are"makeup.
"who do things that are civil society, Ngos, especially the small ones. This divorce demonstrates the lack of democracy: the people cry because it meets the legality and the governments do not make any case", he declared Manrique.
That in regard to refugees, because in their own borders, with the migrants, "Spain has had a behavior pointer in the worst sense", as demonstrated by the "impunity" to the "slaughter of the Tarajal" that it was now three years old.
To the "general worsening" of the situation of immigrants and refugees with the arrival to power of the "racist" Trump, called the mobilization "on both sides of the Atlantic" to "make them feel our solidarity to immigrants, refugees and the persecuted".
"we Must denounce our rulers for failing to conform to international law, by fomenting hatred and xenophobia. We must make it clear that they do not represent us, that nothing we do is in our name", they assert from this group.
do As well as how to report on the battery of measures "racist and xenophobic produced by the administration Trump in his first week of his mandate, but that, in impact, is based on the precedents set by the governments of the European Union in its management of the refugee crisis from Syria and the Middle East.
"it Is scandalous to contemplate the crocodile tears that pour in these days, our european rulers following the closure of the borders of the united States to citizens of seven countries of muslim religion" and "it is shameful to listen to their concern over the widening of the wall that separates Mexico from the usa.UU", they lament.
"Your interest by mexican immigrants in the united states is the same as that shown by immigrants and refugees, crammed in camps of punishment in Greece, is the same as that shown by the thousands of human beings who drown in the Mediterranean before the closure of the borders of the EU. Their policies are the same as the Trump, but in his version a hypocrite," he added.
They note that "the walls extend across the borders of europe, from Ceuta to Norway. The borders are closed and the EU in breach of their own agreements host 160,000 refugees from Syria. The 'Trump' european govern Europe for a long time, they are called Merkel, Hollande, Orban and Rajoy, among others,"
