The Delegate of Social Policies, Family and Equality, José Fernández, has labeled “Ruin” the attitude of the president of Aena for “using the most vulnerable” and has replied that the State does have competence in withouthogarism, in addition to being responsible for the plaintiffs of asyl from Madrid airport.
“Using the most vulnerable, such as the homeless, by the Government of Spain is Ruin and this has been today the president of Aena,” said José Fernández in a statement. «Enough to politically use the most vulnerable people. Not everything is worth, ”he said.
The president of Aena, Maurici Lucena, announced Friday that the airport manager will send a formal requirement to the Madrid City Council “to fulfill its legal obligations as responsible public administration” with the group of homeless people at the Madrid airport.
Along these lines, Lucena has advanced that Aena “is obliged to use the mechanisms provided for in the Administrative Contentious Law before the inaction of the City Council”, “result of a discharge of functions.” In case of a change in attitude on the part of the Consistory, he has indicated, “collaborating as until now” will be continued, as has been done with other airports in which analogous situations have occurred.
“pure hypocrisy”
For Fernández “what is pure hypocrisy is the performance of the president of Aena and with him of the Government of Spain, which demonstrates his inefficiency again, repeated already in this case together with the blackout.”
The municipal holder of the social area has described the press conference of Lucena as “unpresentable” to be “full of falsehoods.” The first, in Fernández’s words, is that “he has referred to the fact that there is no competence by the General State Administration regarding homeless people” when “in the national strategy itself for the fight against withouthogarism, approved in 2023, the General State Administration in the field of homeless people is declared competent.”
“And it is even literally affirmed in that strategy that assume the highest level of responsibilities,” said José Fernández. Regarding asylum applicants and international protection, “the Spanish Constitution in its article 149 proclaims that it is the exclusive competence of the General State Administration.”
Another of the “falsehoods” in which the president of AENA would have incurred is to “point out that the affiliation corresponded to the City Council and, in particular, to an entity, when in all technical wheels maintained by the City Council of Madrid it has been very clear that it corresponds to the airport for its realization and in no case is it competence of the City of Madrid».
The City Council has served 94 people
The City Council, as the delegate recalled, “during all this time has had a presence at the airport through the street teams” of the Social Samur. The Consistory “has paid social attention and proof of this are the last data of the month of April, with the attention to 94 homeless people.”
«The question is how many people the Government of Spain has attended today at Barajas airport. That is why we have asked and we will continue to ask for the involvement of four ministries who have not attended these four technical meetings, ”he said.
Fernández said that “using the most vulnerable by the Government of Spain is Ruin and this has been today’s president of Aena.” Faced with that, “the Madrid City Council will always be to look for the best solution for these people, as well as for the Madrid-Barajas airport itself,” the delegate has committed.
