NO, I WILL NOT GO to the concentration on September 2nd that is being called in support of Ceuta, … not because I believe Ceuta does not need support. It does, but the support it needs is the prompt provision of decent housing for the 700 girls, minors, who must be treated as legislation dictates, … as you and I would want our daughters to be treated if they found themselves needing to flee war, illness, political persecution, sexual exploitation, lack of opportunities, …, and precisely those governed by the parties calling the concentrations, the PP and VOX, oppose this.
NO, I WILL NOT GO because what Ceuta needs is for the rest of the minors to be treated with the minimum humanity exigible to any person and in accordance with current regulations, for which reception centers are needed, facilities that Ceuta does not have, … and which the autonomous communities governed by PP-VOX oppose hosting, but which cynically call concentrations in "support of Ceuta".
AND YES, I ALSO WANT the boys and girls who can return to their families to return, but there will be many who, due to the impossibility of finding their relatives, because their country of origin is at war or the future that awaits them is even bleaker, will have to stay in Spain and Europe.
NO, I WILL NOT GO because for the adult immigrant individuals wandering through the neighborhoods and outskirts of Ceuta, what is needed is humanitarian treatment and control by the administrative authorities for their identification, …, and that is what the authorities must do in a climate of serenity and tranquility …, a climate that is broken by some violent minorities spurred on by hordes of fascists arriving from the peninsula, even going so far as to assault vehicles of the RED CROSS with food and prevent its distribution, and who are supported by those calling the concentrations in "support of Ceuta", yes, them, the PP-VOX and the whole gang of reactionary media outlets ...
AND YES, YES I WANT to show and share all solidarity with the citizens of Ceuta so that the unfortunate fracture in the normal coexistence of their people due to this humanitarian crisis can be resolved as soon as possible.
NO, I WILL NOT GO because I am in favor of social justice and the defense of the Human Rights of any human being, of any migrant, regardless of their skin color, regardless of their country of origin ...
NO, I WILL NOT GO because denying and preventing food to the hungry is for miserable beings who have lost all humanity.
NO, I WILL NOT GO because burning the fabric sheds that protect the immigrant from the cold and the relentless night, as well as the heat of the morning sun, is for authentic and cruel vermin.
NO, I WILL NOT GO because burning the ‘four rags’ that immigrants have as their only belongings is for despicable beings full of hate.
NO, I WILL NOT GO because using hunger against another human being is not being patriotic, but being bad people with unimaginable cruelty.
NO, I WILL NOT GO because human beings are not illegal anywhere in the world.
NO, I WILL NOT GO because I reject hate, I detest cruelty, and I repudiate the dehumanization of any human being.
NO, I WILL NOT GO because hunger has no borders to put fences on.
NO, I WILL NOT GO because the dignity of human beings cannot be sold or subjugated.
NO, I WILL NOT GO because the far-right of PP-VOX and Coalición Canaria do not give a damn about Ceuta and the people of Ceuta.
NO, I WILL NOT GO to the concentration on September 2nd because I am not racist or fascist.
