In this context, the Government regrets the slow paceof the Spanish Government.
Since the end of July , a group of about 50 refugeesfrom Mali have been living in the streets of the Alavesa capital waiting for political asylumand sleeping where they can, on cardboards or mattresses, without a fixed place.
In advance, however, it is necessary to make room in these overcrowded residences, and the intention is to direct certain migrants who have already applied for asylum to other units which fall within the competence of the Spanish State.
The Government has conducted this process of lodging the Malians, but has denounced that the competence lies not with the Spanish Government, but with the Spanish Government. The Basque institutions are helping to restore the situation as far as possible. A few weeks ago, for example, about 50 migrants from Mali who lived on the streets of San Sebastianwere taken to Oñati.

Meanwhile, sources from the Government have denounced the slowness of the Spanish Government, which believes that it is not responding quickly.
