The Minister of Social Welfare of the Government of Aragon, Carmen Marín Susín, has criticized this Thursday the "disloyalty" and "irresponsibility" of the Ministry of the Interior for sending 200 immigrants from the Canary Islands to Huesca without prior notice and without coordination for their assistance.

The migrants have been urgently accommodated 50 in the Hotel Montearagón in Quicena and another 145 in the Pirenarium shelter in Sabiñánigo, through the Apip Acam Foundation.

The minister has described as "institutional disloyalty" and "irresponsibility" that the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, has taken the decision without previously notifying the Government of Aragon. In statements to the media, he indicated that "we do not know how long they will stay, nor their subsequent route or what the Government of Aragon should do to attend to them properly".

The minister regretted that they treat immigrants "as if they were lumps of fish, distributing them throughout Spain, without notifying the regional governments despite the fact that we have the means to attend to them properly".

According to Heraldo.es, the group sent to Huesca will be joined by another made up of 85 sub-Saharan Africans who will arrive next weekend in Zaragoza, and another 50 more in Tarazona.

Despite the controversy over lack of coordination, the Department of Social Welfare is preparing the assistance device beyond the first aid agreed by the Interior with the NGOs. These are young people who will require basic issues such as health coverage, language learning and a pathway to enter the labour market.

To resolve these issues, the regional executive has convened this Friday the Migration Table, where will be present, in addition to the Government of Aragon, the Government Delegation, staff from the regions and entities involved in the care of immigrants.
