Around six in the afternoon this Tuesday, the first of the three buses arranged by the Mogán City Council arrived at the Plaza de la Feria to transport the dozens of migrants who have been taken today out of the camp that the Red Cross has in the Arguineguín pier.
The southern town hall, annoyed with the lack of information, has decided to transfer these people to this point in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, in whose vicinity are the Delegation of the Government and the Consulate of Morocco.
In that environment there are now about 200 people. Mostly from Morocco, who claim that they don’t know where they are going to sleep tonight. “I haven’t had a shower for 15 days, since I left Morocco in a boat, I’ve been in Arguineguín for five days and I don’t know what will happen tonight,” one of them tells SER Las Palmas.
They say they only ate once today and they are borrowing mobile phones from journalists so they can call their relatives.
Procedures from the Canarian Government
According to sources consulted by the SER, the President of the Government of the Canary Islands is carrying out emergency procedures to have the maximum possible resources to attend to these people and that no one sleeps in the open tonight.
Faced with the statement from the Ministry of the Interior and the departure of immigrants that concludes “an order has been given to know the details that have led to this situation in the Arguineguín dock”, we demand from the Canarian Government that what happened be clarified and that it does not return to happen.
