As EITB learned this Wednesday, they will be transferred to the residences managed by theorganization working with refugees\ u00A0 Zehar. willbe transferred to the reception centres of Oñati or Tolosa.

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. 

Malians in Vitoria-Gasteiz are still united and organized, and a list of asylum applications has been submitted to the Spanish police station. But getting an appointment is being very difficult. 

The Ivory Coast Association in Álavais helping them with the  procedures, but they recognize that the organizations that work with migrants are overstretched, so their proposal has been to use some civic center as a temporary shelter while waiting for applications to be resolved.

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