A new shipwreck on the Canary route leaves at least 40 dead on the coasts of Mauritania.
The Spanish NGO #CaminandoFronteras assures that 144 people were traveling on the boat.
I feel ashamed.
We continue reliving shipwrecks, again and again, near our Canary coasts while on the Iberian Peninsula they continue talking about distributions, as if those boys and girls who risk their lives in each migratory journey were not human beings, distributions. As if they were talking about packages and not minors with recognized rights, as if they were talking about wheels, televisions or boxes of medicines.
Shame. I feel ashamed every day, every hour, every minute.
Listening to a guy who looks like a cotton chief say that they should sink the ship of the maritime rescue NGO Open Arms, whom he calls black ships... Shame.
Trying to digest that the communities of the rancid right continue talking about NOT accepting the reception of minors in the communities they govern, together with the extreme right, when we are talking about 33 minors per 100,000 inhabitants, 33 minors, please... Now, yes, they beat their chests during Holy Week because they are very Christian, they marry in the Catholic Church, they take communion every Sunday and deliver their bags of used clothes to Caritas diocesana, lest Father God put an impediment to entering his heaven, probably a white, immaculate, aseptic heaven, without migrants who tarnish that celestial picture.
Shame. I, personally, feel ashamed, every day, every hour, every minute of my existence.
