The spokesperson for Sumar in Congress, Verónica Martínez Barbero, announced this Saturday that her group will request the intervention of the Ombudsman to "investigate" and "act" in response to the refusal of the autonomous communities governed by the PP to receive part of the unaccompanied migrant minors who remain alone in Ceuta after the massive entry recorded last July.
In the first in-person meeting of the Coordinating Group of Sumar held after its summer assembly, Martínez Barbero insisted that the reception of these children and adolescents "is an obligation enshrined in legislation" and, therefore, Sumar wants the institution led by Ángel Gabilondo to get directly involved in this matter.
In this context, she warned the 'popular' that they will have to "give explanations" for their stance before the Ombudsman, before the Spanish citizenry, and before the people of Ceuta.
"Because solidarity with Ceuta is not wrapping oneself in a flag, nor beating people up, nor yacht visits with bottles. Solidarity and respect for Ceuta is being able to bring the minors to the peninsula," emphasized the also co-spokesperson of Sumar.
The parliamentary spokesperson reiterated that her party will continue to defend that the population of Ceuta "has the right to recover its daily life," but also that "all people arriving in Ceuta have rights and that respecting these and complying with national and international legality is the solution." "We will not let an increasingly right-wing European Union set our course," Martínez Barbero concluded.
