Marlaska denied that he was going to transfer immigrants from the Canary Islands, understanding that it was to open an "irregular route to Europe"

• Andalucía. Controversy and official complaints about the arrival in Granada "by surprise" of 200 immigrants from the Canary Islands

The political crisis caused by the massive arrival of immigrants to the

is far from calming down.

During the last hours, the police unions have highlighted how the Government is trying to alleviate migratory pressure on the islands by sending flights to communities, especially Andalusia, with dozens of immigrants.

But all through the back door.

The last flight, which was filmed on video, took place to Granada, where the immigrants were released without any type of control upon arrival at the airport.

It was the Minister of the Interior who first pronounced on the transfers to the peninsula.

After his visit to

on 20 November to

seek the collaboration of the executive of that country to face this crisis, the minister closed the door to these transfers to the peninsula because he understood that an "irregular entry route into

would be launched

".

Fernando Grande-Marlaska explained in

that his government wants to prevent the

from becoming the "irregular entry way into Europe."

The minister tried to seek the collaboration of Morocco to reinforce the repatriations of its nationals, given that more than half of the migrants arrived irregularly in the Canary Islands.

Marlaska responded to a question about the possible transfers to the peninsula of migrants stranded in the Canary Islands - 18,348 have arrived this year, half of them in the last month - and said: “When we talk about transfers to the peninsula (I say): We must fight against irregular emigration, and prevent irregular entry routes to Europe from being established. '

He then wanted to clarify that "migration policies are for the whole of the

, and not just for

."

In the same vein, the Minister of Inclusion, Social Security and Migrations, José Luis Escrivá, spoke.

"The fundamental problem at this time is that the bulk of the immigrants who are arriving are expellable and the borders are closed due to the pandemic. And we are making a fairly broad interpretation of the reception mandate, because really our obligation, what the normative, is to welcome vulnerable people or those who have applied for international asylum protection. But the reality is that most of those who are arriving in the Canary Islands do not meet this typology; they are Maghreb, young people in perfect conditions. We could be talking almost 90%. Even so, now, as a result of the

, with the

closed, we are helping and using our reception system in a flexible way and with a broad sense of what we do. "

"In this sense, we are also in talks with autonomous communities to see if they have the capacity and can help us with reception capacities. And there are some that have shown their availability," said the minister.

However, in the last hours, the transfer of immigrants to Granada by air without the local authorities having received any notification, as the mayor of Granada himself denounced, has left both ministers in evidence.

Marlaska, who categorically denied entry through this route to the peninsula, and Escrivá, who assured that if these entries were to occur, they would be agreed with the affected authorities.

To the political unrest must be added the police.

From the

, in the last hours, the Government has been demanded protection and anti-Covid security protocols for the agents who have to face this migratory crisis.

The response via tweet from Escrivá's ministry is that linking migration and Covid can be branded as racism, which further increased the unrest within the police force.

This union has already asked urgently to meet with Minister Escrivá, due to the "call effect" that can cause the transfer of migrants from the Canary Islands to different parts of the Peninsula, the last of them to Granada, with the health risks derived from the Covid-19.

He also calls once again to the Ministry of the Interior to establish a single protocol to avoid contagion between agents.

In letters to the holders of both portfolios, the SUP regrets the opacity of the information offered by the Government on these transfers on commercial flights, "causing not only an open contradiction with the policy maintained in this matter based on the refusal to stimulate this type of displacements, but a potential damage in the fight against the illegal organizations that traffic with the trips in boat from North Africa to the coasts of the Canary archipelago due to a possible effect called ".

Already on the eve of Marlaska's visit to the Canary Islands with a delegation from the European Union, the transfers to the peninsula were accelerated, at least three flights with immigrants took place to ease the pressure in the Canarian port.
