Along the same lines, the Diakite, Cimade and Etorkinekin associations have denounced that police action in France is illegal and is not at odds with it.

Last week, at least 30 people have been arrested at the Baiona and Bordeaux train stations by police officers.
They have also explained that the refugees are transferred by plane from the Canary Islands to Madrid, and that many of them arrive from there in Baiona: “We don’t know who arranges these trips, but it can be thought that the institutions support them.” Thus, they have warned that the reception point of the Pause in Baiona could be on the verge of saturation.
