The president affirms that it is the “migratory drama is complex” while the UN redoubles its pressure on Madrid and Rabat, which it accuses of “excessive use of force”
The United Nations raises the tone in the face of the Melilla tragedy while Pedro Sánchez continues to close ranks with Morocco and avoids any criticism or reproach for the actions of the neighboring country’s Gendarmerie. The President of the Government, only hours after the UN Secretary General denounced the “excessive use of force” in the events of Friday in Nador’s Chinatown, asked to “put himself in the shoes” of Morocco, whose agents used forcefully in riots that ended with between 23 and 37 Sudanese immigrants killed and dozens injured, according to different sources.
«You have to see it from a global and transversal point of view. Morocco also has an irregular immigration problem, and we must help them control the flow of borders,” the president said this Wednesday in an interview on Ser. “We have to put ourselves in the shoes of each and every one of the actors in this tragedy. We must remember something very important and that we are the only country in the European Union that has a land border with Africa. The drama of irregular immigration policy is complex,” said Pedro Sánchez.
“To avoid tragedies like those in Nador (the chief executive expressly placed the “tragedy” on the other side of the border), what you have to do is work in Sudan,” a country where the vast majority of the 2,000 immigrants who participated in the massive assault on Friday morning.
“We must be empathic with migrants, but also put ourselves in the shoes and shoes of the Spanish Security Forces and the inhabitants of Ceuta and Melilla, who have the right to live safely in cities that are Spain,” the president pointed out.
Pedro Sánchez, in his latest speeches, has stopped praising the performance of the Moroccan Gendarmerie as he did on Friday, when hours after the massive jump, he congratulated Morocco for having “worked hard” to contain immigrants, by while congratulating himself on a “well resolved” situation by the Rabat authorities. Today, the president clarified that these statements were made without having seen the images in which the ill-treatment and beatings of the Moroccan agents to the wounded ‘undocumented’ and how the security forces left several Sub-Saharans to die without paying them any attention. Type of assistance.
It is directly the Secretary General of the UN that calls on Morocco and Spain, which it accuses of an “excessive use of force”, to immediately open an investigation into the “unacceptable” deaths of immigrants last Friday during the avalanches and clashes with the security forces of the neighboring country in the Chinatown pass in Nador.
The UN denounced the “excessive use of force” on “both sides of the border” against sub-Saharans in the events that ended with the death in Moroccan territory of the ‘undocumented’ (23 dead according to the Alui authorities and 37 according to with the calculations of NGOs defending human rights).
The Secretary General of the United Nations spoke of “shock” and “sadness”, but the spokesman for the highest institution within the UN, Stéphane Dujarric, wanted to go far beyond formal condolences. He stated that the United Nations is “shocked by the images of violence that we have seen on the border between Morocco and Spain, in North Africa, over the weekend, with the death, again, of dozens of human beings, of asylum seekers, of migrants.
hot ejections
“We have also seen the use of excessive force by the authorities, which must be investigated because it is unacceptable,” added Dujarric, while insisting that he was also talking about the events that occurred on the Spanish side, as far as they managed to access 133 immigrants of the 2,000 who participated in the violent mass jump. Minutes after the avalanches and riots in the Moroccan part, the Civil Guard proceeded to carry out ‘hot returns’ through the fence.
Dujarric reminded Madrid and Rabat that “they have obligations” under International Law and Human Rights and assured that the United Nations will continue to pressure them to respect “what many of them agreed to in the Global Compact on Migration.” who move have Human Rights, and these must be respected, and we are seeing that too often they are not respected, “the senior UN official made ugly.
