"Do you imagine going out in the street and not moving freely, because you give a profile," because you're afraid the police will stop you? Can you imagine that you would like to go to another country, looking for a better life, and that EU migration policies would make you that migration by playing life at sea? they asked the members of the caravan Mugak Zabalduz, who went to the Palace of the Zarzuela.
Shortly after the end of this action, on Thursday, news has come that has ratified all that is being denounced: The National Police has arrested two young Senegalese people in a new race control in central Senegal. Coincidence? Above all, everyday reality.
The caravan has arrived at the police station where the two young people were detained. In the meantime, the members of the Canary Islands have used all the available resources to free those two boys who are suffering from institutional racism every day. On Thursday he was able to sleep with his friends, who were unable to attend. That is true, in the area of Las Roots that live in deplorable conditions. But the everyday reality is that these arrests end, too often, with pre-trial detention, through numerous legal, economic and linguistic impediments.
The only “crime” of these people is the color of the skin and the illusion for a better life. Today it has gone well. And tomorrow?
