They're asking for a residence solution for Malian people seeking asylum in Vitoria
One of the spokespersons for the protest that took place today read a manifesto recalling that these Malians left their country to escape war and poverty and that they must wait to process their asylum application because "in most cases, efforts are delayed for years".
More than a hundred people have gathered this Saturday in front of Vitoria-Gasteiz City Hall to demand ahousing solution for Malian people awaiting asylum in the city.
More than thirty Malians live in Vitoria, most of them in the Salburua neighbourhood.
One of the spokespersons for today's protest has read a manifesto in which he recalled that these Malians left their country to escape war and poverty and that they must wait to process their asylum application because "in most cases, efforts are delayed by years".
Thus, groups against racism, support for migrants and solutions to the housing crisis have gathered in the Alavesa capital to ask for a "housing alternative" because "it is unacceptable that more than 7000 homes in the city are empty and dozens of buildings are unused, even if several people live on the streets. "
They also request that the time limits for regularizing the administrative status of these persons be speeded up because "certain bureaucratic procedures, such as the imposition of fines or the prosecution of militants, require seconds and years of asylum proceedings".
