Since we're talking about the human race, it was only a matter of days before we read that in Ceuta, the courts have already "received half a dozen complaints for sexual assaults linked to the context of irregular arrival”. Four or five girls under 14 years of age "have been attended to urgently by health services due to possible abuse" and the Ministry of Equality and the local government "have activated protocols for monitoring and supporting victims".
To say that the assaults are "linked to the context of irregular arrival" leads you to assume that the victims are probably migrant girls, among the few who arrived. Some boys will also suffer or have suffered, and perhaps they won't say so. In a city where thousands of minors have arrived, attracted by a lethal and frivolous call, who knows if it's intentional, anything can happen. If any psychopath now goes on vacation to Ceuta to kidnap children, who will know?
In this context, it seems ridiculous to me that the Ministry of Equality activates monitoring and support protocols for victims. Monitoring? Until when? Until they are returned? I think the Ministry of Equality should act in cases where there is no equality, which there are many. In this case, perhaps the Ministry of Health should be the one to help victims, minors or not, and men or women. What I mean by this is that acting to ensure psychological follow-up for a victim is necessary, but it is also necessary for them to have a bed to sleep in and a toilet to pee in, and police protection, so that all this stops happening. In this case in Ceuta, NGOs are working, because the political class navigates between "doing" and "not doing". Pass the rope. Not doing, not doing much, lest the Spanish and European right get angry with us, but doing, doing a little, lest the neighbors get angry with us.
