Minister Marlaska says publishing the origin of the detainees does not help prevent crime
The Ertzaintza has expressed its opinion on the decision taken in this regard and has been in favour of not stigmatising anyone by origin.
The Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, disagrees with the decision of the Security Department of the Basque Government to publish the origin of the detainees.
Marlaska made this statement when asked about the decision of the Ertzaintza in the debate on migration management and present and future challenges in the fourth edition of the 'Metafuturo' reflection forum.
"I'm not going to criticize the attitude, but from the scientific evidence and from what my advisers tell me, I don't understand that nationality, ID, passport or place of birth is a necessary element to be able to work on crime prevention," Marlaska said.
The Minister advocates transparency and believes that this exercise may require the full disclosure of data, although he points out that it is necessary to assess beforehand whether certain data are in the public interest and does not believe that this is the case at source.
He has also advocated "preserving the dignity of people" so that "no one is stigmatized by their origins."
In the morning, during the Congressional monitoring session, Marlaska distinguished between crime and immigration. "Crime does not depend to a large extent on factors such as nationality or origin, but on parameters such as vulnerability," he said.
