Spanish minister recalls republican exile and migrant hardships
Former Spanish Minister Irine Montero discussed the tragedy of Spanish Republican refugees in 1939 at Argelès-sur-Mer, where over 100,000 of them were imprisoned in camps along the French beaches under harsh humanitarian conditions, with widespread diseases and deaths due to hunger and cold. She confirmed that the historical scenes of the siege and the German and French neglect of the Spanish migrants are repeated today in a new form, as migrants at the Moroccan border of Ceuta face severe humanitarian and political conditions, and are subjected to assaults and marginalization by the far right. She pointed out that the tendency to repeat historical memory resurfaces, accompanied by accusations and anti-migrant sentiment, and that the political stance ignores Moroccan sovereignty, turning Ceuta into a theater of conflicts, while some are calling for a renewed discussion of the two cities' status before the United Nations.
