Some 50 young people sleep on Amara Street while awaiting a response to their asylum application
The French authorities have expelled them on the grounds that they must apply for asylum in the Spanish State, and the City of San Sebastián has therefore asked the Spanish Government to speed up the procedures.
Half a hundred migrants, mostly young people around the age of 20, have been sleeping on the street in the Amara districtof San Sebastian for several weeks, waiting to respond to asylum applications.
Most of them have arrived in the capital of Guipuzcoana from Mali, Côte d'Ivoire, or Guinea Conakry, trying to escape the sound of the bombs.
The French authorities have expelled them on the grounds that they must apply for asylum in the Spanish State , so the City of San Sebastián has asked the Spanish Government to speed up the procedures.
In this context, the SpanishGovernment delegate to the Basque Country, Marisol Garmendia , has confirmed the increase in the number of Malians arriving for asylum and recalled that the procedures must be carried out in the first country to be stepped on after leaving Africa.
Garmendia has pointed out that the movement of people to the reception centres is constant in the Basque Country, but that all this is difficultto manage. In any case, he has ensured that the Spanish Government is working with the police to provide solutions to people who arrive fleeing the war.
On the other hand, Euskadi Refugee Assistance Commission (CEAR) is supporting young people in these efforts, some of whom already have an appointment with the Spanish Police. They stress that they only want to work and integrate in San Sebastian, while this Sunday they will prepare a typical Malian meal for Amara's neighbors.
