A police action that he said was “proportionate” and “timely”, including the use of riot gear. Marlaska, who lamented the loss of human lives and sympathized with the wounded agents, defended at all times the rejection at the border that took place after the massive attempt to jump the fence in Nador. But the BBC, with the material that he has achieved and of which he has said that he is not going to broadcast everything due to the harshness of some of the images, accuses the Ministry of the Interior of hiding crucial evidence from the surveillance cameras of the formal investigations, “where the cameras focused on the fence border are monitored on giant screens.” In fact, the British channel has presented its documentary with an article entitled ‘How Spain watched how dozens of people were crushed to death on its border’. The BBC’s Africa Eye team confirms that the Moroccan police entered Spanish territory to recover the immigrants and some of them were beaten while the Spanish border guards watched without doing anything. at the Melilla border and accused Morocco of violating human rights with its actions and now, after the broadcast of the new images on the British chain, it once again demands that Minister Marlaska rectify his management in this matter. It has been the president of the United We Can group and common in Congress, Jaume Asens, who has made the request on his social networks. A message in which he has also urged the PSOE to stop blocking “together with the PP and Vox” an investigative commission in Congress.
