The barrier is ineffective, "says Javier Ortega," We need to build a wall high enough. "At 10 or 12 meters, the general secretary of the small right-wing party Vox thinks: A wall to hold the" frenzies "that jump over the six-meter-high fence of the Spanish North African exclave Ceuta or the twin city Melilla.Today, there were more than 600 people in Ceuta who wanted to get closer to their dream of living in Europe
In Spain, there are so many immigrants without entry permits this year that in twelve years.At that time, in 2006, they made their way to the Canary Islands especially in large wooden boats on the West African coast, now they are trying out Ceuta and Melilla, but mostly in the small boats of Morocco across the Strait of Gibraltar in Andalusia, about 21 000 people have landed on the ground Spanish for the first seven months, for the first time once a long time, more than in Italy
Migrations took a while to become a major topic of public debate has become in Spain. When the newly elected Socialist Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, authorized the rescue vessel "Aquarius", which had been rejected by Italy, to enter the port of Valencia in mid-June, some grumbled. But it was not yet a political storm.
Ten days ago, the former People's Conservative Party (PP) of former Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy elected a new president, Pablo Casado, 37 years old. He said before the election in a conversation with "El País", as he imagined the future of the PP: "We must be good of the PSOE." The PSOE is the party of Prime Minister Sánchez, and to the right of one a lot of space. Casado had already been positioned right with his proposals for a tighter abortion right or a possible termination of the Schengen agreement, but he had not yet addressed the issue of migration – until Sunday. "It is impossible that there are newspapers for all and that Spain can accommodate millions of Africans," he said. No politician had ever asked that in Spain. "When it comes to migration, you have to be responsible and honest, not populist," Casado continued. He addressed the words not to himself but to the government.
Casado tells Prime Minister Sánchez that he created a "pull effect" with the invitation of "Aquarius": so many migrants would come after him Spain, because They thought their entry would be particularly easy. However, this explanation is difficult to maintain. Sánchez has only been in operation since June 2, the number of boaters arriving in Spain began to increase well before, from 2016 to 2017 (ie Rajoys) it doubled, and this alone January the same month of the previous three years taken together. The reasons for the increasing attractiveness of Spain are less present in Spain than on the other side of the Mediterranean.
As the departure of Turkey and Libya became difficult, Morocco became a starting point for Europe. Morocco is located at the narrowest point of the Strait of Gibraltar just 14 kilometers from Spain. It is no wonder that tens of thousands of people are now following this path, but that they have already done so in relatively small numbers. This is mainly due to the fact that Morocco has been the most willing border policeman in Europe.
Spanish Foreign Minister Josep Borrell is cautious in his badysis of Morocco's role. Either the neighboring country of the south, with which Spain has "no major problems", is "overloaded" by the arrival of new migrants, or it "facilitates" the trip to the north . Anyway, he considers that "the Italian attitude" is migration for the biggest problem of the European Union. Migration can not be "blocked" but simply "channeled". The attraction Casado refers to PP is primarily political: the fear of migration pulls Europe to the right. Casado tries to know if this whirlpool could lead him.
