Pedro Sánchez’s alignment with Morocco about Sahara unleashed the diplomatic rupture with Algeria in June 2022, almost three years ago, and that has brought multiple consequences both in the economic and security sphere, although recently they have staging a false closure of the crisis. In this sense, as he has learned THE REASONAlgeria has blocked the possibility of deporting Algerians to violate the law in Spain and have an expulsion file open.
Right now, Algerians stopped by State security forces and forces They end up in Spain despite having to be deported to their country. “With the Algerians, nothing can be done in terms of expulsion because anyone is expelled for relations with Algeria”police sources indicate THE REASON. “The only thing we can do is stop them and initiate the file, but the expulsion cannot be materialized”add the same sources.
In fact, if the detainee carries the documentation on top Internment Center for Foreigners (CIE). However, police officers can only take them to a CIE and make a internment request since the last word always has a judge. Without judicial guarantee, immigrants go out again at 72 hours of being hospitalized by police officers.
In any case, They don’t end up being expelled. “Nothing can be done”the same sources point out. This situation is causing outrage among police bodies (also local) since they find that his work ends up being in vain because there are situations in which They stop the same person Algerian several times.
In this sense, it should be remembered that The expulsion of immigrants depends on the government since the National Police is responsible for starting and processing the files and then, Moncloa (the Government Delegation In each autonomy, specifically) it ends up authorizing deportation. In fact, from the GENERAL COMMISSARY OF FOREIGNING AND BORDERS They are responsible for processing the expulsion: foreigners are documented “so that everything is in order” and the efforts are made with the country of origin so that “they can be received”they point.
“But many times, although the Government delegation authorizes the expulsion and the flight is carried out with these foreigners who commit crimes, the country they are taken does not admit them and Spain has to bring them back”they explain, as it happens now, for political issues since Diplomatic relations are suspended with the Maghreb country.
This way, All expulsion processing is exclusively in the hands of the Sánchez government, without the need for any judge to intervene. The Justice It only enters Liza when there has been a condemnatory sentence through: in this case, part of the criminal punishment is usually switched by the expulsion of the country and that is decided by a judge.
Spain had always managed to maintain a balance in relations with Algeria and Morocco, two faced countries. However, Sánchez’s diplomatic turns have broken that good position in Spain and brought problems with Algeria and Morocco.
