This was stated by the mayor of the city of Bella Bahía and PP senator,

, who expressed his rejection of the Government's intention, communicated in a letter with few details, to locate an

in Algeciras.

What is known as CETI - temporary stay center - on Reyes Católicos street in the city.

In the Peninsula there is no center of these characteristics that are in operation and sometimes crowded in

.

There is also another in the Canary Islands.

In addition, near the current Botafuegos prison, work is already under way to build a CIE to close the current one in La Piñera, which, as has been made clear on many occasions, is not in decent conditions to house migrants there.

We would like the government of Pedro Sánchez to remember us for other things, such as the generation of employment and the construction of the infrastructures that we need so much, on the contrary, it only creates new difficulties, such as the construction of this center, which It is a real nonsense, “emphasized Landaluce.

For its part, the
