Asaja asks for the articulation of a repatriation process for Moroccan temporary workers
The organization has reported that it has sent a letter to Santiago Antonio Yerga Cobos, director general of Migration, in which it expresses its concern about the fate of these women whose country keeps its borders closed.
For Asaja, it is "urgent and necessary" that "an extraordinary repatriation procedure is already planned that, in a staggered manner, allows the return of the workers to their country of origin."
So far, he pointed out, neither the Spanish nor the Moroccan authorities have faced the issue of return in an extraordinary scenario marked by the health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In this context, the employers in the sector have promised to keep both the contracts and the temporary housing as long as possible, even making the change of employer with the consent of the Spanish authorities so that these women have their employment and housing needs covered, even though the work on the holding that initially hired them has ended.
However, Asaja-Huelva has warned that the campaign must necessarily come to an end, at most, in the month of June or even earlier if the rise in temperatures continues for a long time.
