"The delegate of the Government, Francisco Jiménez with his immigration management has put Cartagena in the spotlight of the mafias that traffic with people," said the spokesman of the Popular Parliamentary Group, Joaquín Segado, after announcing the motion registered in the Regional Assembly in which "we reject the creation of a reception center for immigrants in the port and ask for the immediate reopening of the Foreigners Internment Center (CIE) of Sangonera la Verde".

Segado recalled that "Cartagena is experiencing its worst immigration crisis in the last two years with the arrival in just three weeks of half a thousand immigrants", and considers that "the origin of the massive arrival of pateras is responsible to the delegate of the Government of Pedro Sánchez in the Region of Murcia, by releasing, through the streets of the city, the first migrants who arrived on the coast of Cartagena last September. "

"As a result of this episode, the arrival of pateras multiplied, especially from the coast of Algeria, which corroborates the called effect that the delegate of the Government has generated with his management of this crisis" said the 'popular' spokesman .

Joaquín Segado has rejected "without contemplation" the proposal to create a reception center for immigrants in the port of Cartagena, "given the social consequences of its location in an area that is the gateway to cruise tourism."

"It will seriously damage the tourist image of the city and will ruin all the efforts made, for years by the PP government, to establish the municipality as one of the tourist capitals of the Mediterranean."

The parliamentary spokesman of the PP has affirmed that "a center of this nature, due to the force of the facts, will end up becoming a CIE no matter how much the delegate of the socialist government wants to sell us that he will be receiving immigrants with a maximum period of stay 72 hours. "

On the other hand, he has questioned the performance of the Government delegate in this crisis that "has not initially acted in a coordinated manner with the city council and non-governmental organizations, and only when the situation went out of hand, the National Humanitarian Attention System ".

Joaquín Segado has urged the Executive of the nation to "work for the immediate reopening of the CIE of Sangonera la Verde and to the adequacy of the facilities to receive with guarantees those who come to our country looking for a better life".
