Insufficient state reception systems leave dozens of migrants vulnerable
Themayor of Donostia-San Sebastián, Eneko Goia , has reiterated that this is a "global problem" that does not fall within the competence of the City Council, but of the State Administration, since the overcrowding of these migrants is the result of the delay in the procedures for applying for asylum.
He warned that "trying to respond to a global problem only from the local point of view is like trying to wrap the ocean in a thimble."

Trying to answer a global problem only from a local level is like trying to wrap the ocean in a thimble.
The mayor has also been asked whether the Amara Berri Neighborhood Association intends to participate in the Big Week cannon "without a festive atmosphere." The neighborhood association criticized the City Council's attitude to the precarious situation of the Malians in its neighborhood and asked it to take "urgent action." "I respect, of course, how they want to participate in the cannon," Goia replied.
"It is true that they have taken on a leading role in recent months," the mayor said, praising the solidarity and support of citizens to migrants.
Goia has appreciated the work done in the face of this "exceptional situation", as well as" all the contribution they have made to the neighborhood throughout its history ".
