While the Madrid City Council is still working on the search for a location "as quickly as possible" for an "emergency shelter" for refugees who have slept in the last days at the gates of the Social Samur , the delegate of the area Social Welfare, José Aniorte , said that these refugees, mostly from Venezuela and Central America, "will come very well" in "specially depopulated areas" of the emptied Spain.

The delegate has insisted that thanks to their origin, since 80% are from Venezuelans, their "extensive studies" and their "favorable socio-economic situation" the integration of these people will be "easy" and will mean "a great social work in Spain ". He also stressed that the Ministry of Labor is "in that key" for the distribution after a first step through the municipal center that will be assigned by the Consistory and will be managed with state resources.

Precisely in the search for this municipal center "work is being done" from the area directed by Aniorte to guarantee "technical means" and "dignity" for these asylum seekers. That is why "tomorrow" from the area, several locations will be transferred to the Central Executive so that one or more "emergency reception centers" can be installed. "If this crisis is not resolved and if we do not act quickly, there will be more families sleeping in the street," said the delegate.

Aniorte has stressed that the solution to the collapse that Madrid lives in its social services is not to give "more and more resources" municipal but that the Ministry fulfills "their functions" before the massive arrival of asylum seekers at Barajas airport. Hence, on Tuesday he met with representatives of Interior and Labor and the Community of Madrid

"At that meeting we got, within the institutional loyalty, that the Ministry recognized its competence and responsibility, and offered all the support of the City Council," said the delegate, who has placed the Emergency Network of the capital "the strongest of any European city. "

The delegate of Social Welfare has also placed as a priority "a quick action" because if this does not occur "there will be more refugee families sleeping on the street in Madrid" . A situation that, he pointed out, tonight has been reduced because no child has stayed overnight.

However, he reiterated that Madrid continues "in a situation of crisis and emergency because of the refugees", and has once again exemplified that "it is as if 8 'Aquarius' arrive every week, because" the influx is enormous, it doubles what came last year. "
