” “A few hours ago, the situation of the clandestine immigrants on the Spanish fishing boat “Catalina” has cleared up. The Foreign Ministry of Madrid sent over two airplanes, which are supposed to take the immigrants to Spain. The Maltese authorities have therefore let the boat reach the harbour. The fishing boat had been stuck for six days off the Maltese shores, waiting for a solution to the fate of the people on board. "The situation in Malta states Agustín Gutiérrez Seller, from the Spanish Caritas brings back the Canaries or Ceuta and Melilla: these are expressions of a tragedy that we are getting used to and that creates scenes of desperation. A shared policy of integration in the European Union does not seem to be taking off yet". The Spanish Caritas "is worried about the fact these phenomena are not regarded as dynamic expressions of the migratory situation. Migration must be understood". According to Gutiérrez, who works in the area of immigration for the Spanish Caritas, the “Catalina” affair "brings back other predicaments in which boats or buses ran through Europe carrying people, mostly in search of a job".” “
