The nonsense of immigration control by Fernando’s Ministry of the Interior Grande-Marlaska with Morocco has no limits according to the surreal story that the police officers at the Madrid-Barajas airport experienced during the early hours of last Monday. The plan was to return Morocco to 50 illegal immigrants, but 39 of them refused to board on the flight and the remaining eleven were returned to Spain through the neighboring country as soon as they set foot on Moroccan soil. The result: not a single one of the 50 immigrants was expelled and Fernando Grande Marlaska’s Ministry of the Interior wasted human and material resources on the failed operation.
This new episode of immigration decontrol started on the night of Sunday, September 29 at the Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport. At that time, the Ministry of the Interior is preparing to expel to Morocco 50 illegal immigrants who have not obtained the right to asylum in Spain.
The plan is for the 50 immigrants to return to Morocco on a regular flight on a private airline, but when the time came to board, 39 of the immigrants they refuse to fly and they express their opposition forcefully by coercing the pilot. The flight commander, faced with the threatening attitude of the immigrants, decided not to take them on his plane because “they would compromise the security on board the ship.” The Police He could not do anything other than take the 39 “mutineers” back to the asylum rooms at the Madrid airfield.
Morocco returned them
Only 11 of the 50 immigrants rejected by Spain flew to Morocco on Sunday night, however they were back in Spain before finishing early on Monday. As soon as they set foot on land, Morocco returned the eleven immigrants to Spain and the police officers who accompanied them to the flight were the ones who received them again a few hours later.
The result of Marlaska’s operation is zero illegal immigrants repatriated to Morocco. According to police sources, this is not the first time this has happened.
Airport sources affirm that immigrants who enter Spain illegally requesting asylum have two ways to avoid repatriation.
The first of them consists, the same sources explain, in requesting asylum over and over again even if the judges deny it. Spanish legislation does not establish a limit for asylum requests and, thus, immigrants who have had their asylum rejected manage to settle indefinitely in the Barajas wards until the State finds a solution for them, such as transferring them to a reception center. for applicants.
The police are also used to another trick that immigrants use to avoid being repatriated to their country. It is not the first time that in the moments before boarding a flight back to their country organized by the Grande-Marlaska ministry, immigrants refuse to board the plane and protest strongly and somewhat aggressively, when they do not directly threaten to provoke altercations during the flight. Faced with such a situation, many pilots refuse to board immigrants because they believe that they could compromise the safety of the flight and the rest of the travelers. The result is the same, the immigrants are returned to the asylum seekers’ rooms, which little by little become saturated.
The Prosecutor’s Office warns
Precisely, the latest annual report of the Madrid Prosecutor’s Office warns that in the last quarter of 2023 there has been a “massive arrival of undocumented unaccompanied migrants in an uncontrolled manner through the Adolfo Suárez-Madrid Barajas Airport, on flights from Casablanca and to different South American countries, which do not request a transit visa.
The Prosecutor’s Office warns that all this “has favored irregular immigration and the proliferation of arrivals of people who say they lack documentation and who, once in the transit zone, do not continue their trip but instead request asylum in our country, collapsing the airport.” but also the reception resources.
According to the Madrid Prosecutor’s Office«there have been 213 age determination procedures in 2022, to 404 in 2023; 203 in the months of November and December, leaving 94 pending to be initiated as of December 31, since it has not been possible to take on the avalanche of daily matters of this nature (more than 25 on some days) that have been entered into the section, and that “They are added to the many other matters that are processed and have entry into this area.”
