Red Cross

has opened a file "to identify responsibilities" after the publication of a video on social networks in which some volunteers from the organization are seen participating in a celebration of immigrants in a hotel in the

Canary Islands

.

Spanish Red Cross has regretted these events, for which it already opened a file yesterday, as detailed in its Twitter account this Monday.

In the video dozens of immigrants are seen dancing in a hotel -the immigrants who have arrived in the Canary Islands during this crisis are staying in tourist establishments-, with background music, with masks but without respecting the safety distance, while several volunteers from Red Cross watch and at least two volunteers mingle with those gathered and remain hugging two of them.

Given the deficiencies in the state network for humanitarian reception in the archipelago, the

Ministry of Migration

has had to resort to signing contracts with tourist establishments on the islands that had to suspend their activity due to the closure of borders decreed to try to prevent the spread of the pandemic in the archipelago.

These contracts expire on December 31 and the intention of Migrations is that the immigrants welcomed in those hotels are by then in other spaces.

The video has been published on the Internet along with other images recorded during that celebration.

According to the criteria of The Trust Project
