Sánchez justifies the avalanche as a "surge" due to purely environmental factors, "the improvement of weather conditions," common along the route from Senegal, Gambia, Morocco, and Mauritania after the summer. #Migración #Canarias #EmergenciaMigratoria (translated)
The Cabildo of El Hierro has declared a migration emergency after receiving more than 8,000 migrants in five weeks, which has generated considerable pressure on the island's human and assistance resources. #EmergenciaMigratoria #ElHierro #CrisisMigratoria (translated)
The peak of arrivals has also led the central government to strengthen negotiations with the countries of origin, especially with Mauritania and Senegal, where the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, requested this Friday in Dakar to "strengthen migration management" and seek a "joint solution." #EmergenciaMigratoria #ElHierro #CrisisMigratoria (translated)
