• Immigration: The Government now offers Algeciras as a destination port for the Open Arms "in the face of Salvini's refusal"
  • Andalusia: Andalusia would accept migrants from Open Arms if an agreement was reached between communities

The president of the Junta de Andalucía, the 'popular' Juanma Moreno, has denounced that the acting government president, the socialist Pedro Sánchez, "has once again despised Andalusia" after offering the port of Algeciras to disembark the immigrants from Open Arms, "without addressing the Autonomous Government" of the PP and Citizens.

" Enough of the blows. We demand institutional loyalty , coordination and respect," Moreno said in his Twitter account, in a message addressed to Pedro Sánchez in which he emphasizes that Andalusia is a "solidarity and welcoming land and, in addition, has dignity ".

The Government of Pedro Sánchez has now offered to enable the port of Algeciras as a destination for the Open Arms, whose interior is still 105 immigrants after the landing on Saturday of 27 children, after "Matteo Salvini's refusal" to open the Italian ports to Spanish rescue ship that faces the Italian island of Lampedusa.

With this movement, the Executive takes a turn in the speech he has held in recent days on migration issues with the NGO ship Proactiva Open Arms. First, it was the Minister of Development, José Luis Ábalos, who accused the organization of going as "standard bearers of humanity." Then there was access to the "balanced distribution" of immigrants in a "common European, orderly and supportive" action. And this Sunday has been the opening of the Andalusian port after 18 days with the boat in Mediterranean waters.

This Friday, during a visit to the fair in Malaga, the president of the Junta de Andalucía was favorable to welcome immigrants from the Open Arms, but it would be necessary "a global agreement of all the autonomous communities and stop using immigration with demagogy ".
