- The mayor of Ribaforada (PSN), Jesús Mari Rodríguez, asked the neighbor of Senegalese origin to approach the City Hall to talk about censuses. It was a ploy. The Spanish police were waiting for him there, and in 24 hours, unable to do anything, they flew to Africa. This has been denounced by the Senegalese community of the Ribera.
After falling into the trap of the mayor, from the Town Hall of Ribaforada to the police station of Tudela and in a few hours, to the plane. This is the case of a neighbouring Navarra of Senegalese origin, who died this week in Toulouse.
“I must work with the police”
The members of the Senegalese community have been outraged and have asked the mayor for explanations for their situation. The answer is that if the police ask him to work with the government he has to answer yes, as they have gathered in the Naiz.eus.
Response from the Mayor
Following the tumult created, the mayor has publicly responded that he has not participated in the deportation: "The municipal government limited itself to complying with the request of the municipal police. Under this petition, the citizen had an expulsion order, since he had a criminal record for the commission of several crimes. In any case, it is the obligation of the institutions to comply with the law and enforce the law".
For its part, Podemos Navarra has already reported that it has requested explanations from the delegate of the Spanish Government:
