The Spanish Lawyer regrets the deaths in Melilla and defends an immigration system "respectful of rights"

Demands that all migrants receive legal assistance before any decision is applied to them

MADRID, 27 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The president of the Immigration Subcommittee of the General Council of the General Council of Spanish Lawyers, Blas Jesús Imbroda, lamented this Monday the death of more than twenty migrants in the jump over the Melilla fence last Friday and has defended a immigration system that is "fully respectful of people's rights".

"Whatever the policies that are adopted, the loss of life in any of the phases of migratory transit is a strong knock on the consciences of developed countries," Imbroda said in a statement.

Thus, the president of the Immigration Subcommittee has insisted that the Spanish Lawyers have "always" defended and will continue to defend an immigration system that is "fully respectful of the rights of people, whatever their origin, and that puts the value of life above any other consideration of a legal nature".

Within the framework of the statement, Imbroda has reiterated the demand that all migrants receive legal assistance before any administrative or judicial decision is applied to them.

Judges for Democracy (JJpD), the Progressive Union of Prosecutors (UPF) and several NGOs that help migrants have already demanded an investigation of what happened from the Spanish and Moroccan authorities.

At least 500 sub-Saharans managed to access Melilla last Friday after they managed to break the access door to the Chinatown border control post with shears, jumping from its roof to access the Spanish city. The massive entry left at least 49 Civil Guard agents slightly injured and 57 migrants.

Friday's is the first massive entry that has occurred in Melilla since the normalization of relations between Spain and Morocco in April 2022, after the change in position of the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, on Western Sahara. It also coincided days before the NATO summit was held in Madrid on June 29 and 30, which is why security measures have been tightened.
