Catalonia Offers to Take In Moroccan Minors from Ceuta Crisis

Catalonia is willing to welcome the Moroccan minors stranded in Ceuta in recent days, Pere Aragonès, the newly elected president of the Generalitat, announced on Friday.

Catalonia will welcome the Moroccan minors who arrived en masse in Ceuta in recent days. "That’s what solidarity is. Faced with hatred, humanitarian conscience." This is how Pere Aragonès expressed himself, during the investiture debate for the presidency of the Generalitat, in response to the remarks of Ignacio Garriga, the deputy of the far-right party Vox, who in a previous intervention had described the Ceuta crisis as a "invasion orchestrated by Morocco," thus firmly opposing "the willingness to welcome those whom Morocco has used as a human battering ram."

"The fight against inequalities is a moral imperative," Aragonès also declared, assuring that he will defend "republican values in the assembly." "The challenge of politics is to reduce inequalities, injustices and poverty to fight hatred and the far right. They will not pass," he added.

"We have passed, we will pass and sooner or later, we will dislodge you from all the institutions of Catalonia," Garriga replied, accusing Aragonès of being an accomplice of Morocco.
