  Welcome to all the listeners to Spain Today News.
• 0:03
  I invite you to follow the channel to not miss any chapter.
• 0:06
  What if I told you that the worst, the most chaotic border
• 0:11
  crisis in a city's history is actually the exact same thing
• 0:14
  that ended up saving its local economy from crashing?
• 0:17
  Yeah, It defies simple logic, honestly.
• 0:19
  It's a localized event at a physical border that somehow,
• 0:24
  you know, completely paralyzed a national government.
• 0:26
  Right, and expose some pretty severe intelligence failures
• 0:29
  along the way. Exactly.
• 0:31
  And then simultaneously, it just altered Spain's entire national
• 0:35
  economic landscape. It really became a stress test
• 0:37
  for the whole country. It's a wild.
• 0:39
  So in this deep dive, our mission is to unpack this
• 0:42
  multifaceted late summer crisis and connect all those seemingly
• 0:46
  unrelated dots for you. We're.
• 0:47
  Going to start by looking at the ground level human reality,
• 0:51
  what's actually happening in the streets.
• 0:52
  Then we'll zoom out to the political gridlock in Madrid,
• 0:54
  right? And finally, we'll look at the
• 0:56
  highly counterintuitive official employment data that followed.
• 1:00
  Our sources for this deep dive give us a pretty comprehensive
• 1:03
  360° view. We've got ground level reports
• 1:07
  from recent protests in Suda and across Spain, the official
• 1:10
  parliamentary schedules and August's official employment
• 1:14
  data. And maybe most importantly, we
• 1:17
  have a highly detailed 50 page leaked Intelligence Report from
• 1:22
  the National Police. Yeah, that report is
• 1:25
  fascinating. But before we jump into those
• 1:27
  sources, I need to make a quick but really important note for
• 1:30
  you, our listener. Definitely unnecessary
• 1:32
  disclaimer here. Yeah.
• 1:33
  So the reports and political statements we are analyzing
• 1:36
  today contain highly charged content.
• 1:38
  I mean, we're talking statements from across the entire political
• 1:42
  spectrum, from the far left to the far right.
• 1:44
  And we want to be completely explicit about this.
• 1:46
  We are not endorsing any of these viewpoints.
• 1:49
  Not at all. We are not taking sides and we
• 1:51
  are not validating any of the political rhetoric you're about
• 1:54
  to hear. Right.
• 1:54
  The goal of this deep dive is purely to impartially report and
• 1:58
  synthesize the mechanics of what happened.
• 2:00
  We just want to convey the arguments being made so you can
• 2:03
  understand the ideas contained in the original source material.
• 2:07
  Exactly, just looking at the systems and the data.
• 2:10
  So let's establish what happened on the ground first.
• 2:12
  It's September 2nd, soda day. Which is normally a festive
• 2:16
  local holiday, right? Normally, yeah.
• 2:19
  Soda is a Spanish autonomous city, an enclave located in
• 2:23
  North Africa bordering Morocco. But this year the holiday turned
• 2:27
  into a massive protest at the Royal Walls.
• 2:30
  And the scale of this is just staggering.
• 2:33
  Soda has a normal population of roughly 84,000 people.
• 2:38
  Right. And according to the government
• 2:39
  delegation, 20,000 people took to the streets.
• 2:43
  Just think about the math on that for a second.
• 2:44
  It's nearly 1/4 of the entire city marching in protest.
• 2:48
  Yeah, to visualize that scale, imagine if 2 million people
• 2:51
  suddenly marched in New York City on a random Tuesday.
• 2:54
  That puts it into perspective. It's a massive civic
• 2:56
  mobilization, and the catalyst for this happened in late July,
• 3:00
  specifically July 30th and 31st, when an estimated 70,000
• 3:04
  migrants entered soda irregularly from Morocco. 70,000
• 3:08
  people entered a city of 84,000 that is nearly doubling the
• 3:12
  population over a 48 hour period.
• 3:15
  Where do all those people even go?
• 3:17
  Well, that's precisely the root of the crisis.
• 3:19
  Government data shows the vast majority were either pushed back
• 3:22
  or left on their own, but at least 5000 of those individuals
• 3:27
  still remain in Sierra today. 5000 extra people with nowhere
• 3:31
  to go. Right.
• 3:32
  So they are living in improvised camps, you know, in warehouses
• 3:36
  or literally just sleeping on the streets while they await
• 3:39
  asylum decisions or return processing.
• 3:41
  Because a municipality of that size just doesn't have the
• 3:43
  physical infrastructure. For that, exactly.
• 3:45
  The water, sanitation, policing, housing, it simply wasn't built
• 3:50
  to absorb an instant demographic shock like that.
• 3:53
  And you really feel that shock when you read the quotes from
• 3:55
  the ground. The sources capture a level of
• 3:57
  desperation that is just hard to ignore.
• 4:00
  Yeah, the human impact is severe.
• 4:01
  Like there's a woman named Estefania who traveled all the
• 4:04
  way from Al Jazeera's on the mainland.
• 4:05
  With this massive placard, she compared the reality of the last
• 4:09
  month in Sierra to a horror film.
• 4:11
  I think she specifically mentioned a zombie show, right?
• 4:14
  Yeah, she explicitly said it was like walking through a scene in
• 4:17
  The Walking Dead. And then another resident, Maria
• 4:21
  Angeles, protested until she was completely hoarse.
• 4:25
  She told reporters that local families can no longer take
• 4:28
  their children to the public parks.
• 4:29
  Because the benches are occupied.
• 4:31
  Exactly. The benches are completely
• 4:33
  occupied by migrants sleeping and she noted rampant issues
• 4:37
  with public defecation simply because there are no facilities
• 4:40
  for these people. And that kind of structural
• 4:42
  breakdown naturally leads to a lot of fear and speculation
• 4:45
  among the residents. Right, people are looking for
• 4:47
  answers. There was a neighbor named
• 4:49
  Meleka who was quoted framing the July entry not as a standard
• 4:53
  migration wave, but as a hybrid grid war.
• 4:56
  She felt it was intentionally designed to destabilize the
• 4:59
  city's economy and social fabric.
• 5:01
  OK, let's unpack this because if you have 1/4 of a city marching
• 5:05
  because their public infrastructure has totally
• 5:07
  collapsed under the way to 5000 displaced people, I totally
• 5:11
  understand the local. Angle right, It's a massive
• 5:13
  local issue. But it sounds like the city of
• 5:16
  Ciudo was a pressure cooker that finally blew, and the steam is
• 5:19
  setting off alarms all over the country.
• 5:22
  How does this local municipal crisis instantly become a
• 5:26
  national partisan battleground? Well, it's fascinating how the
• 5:29
  mechanics of Spain's municipal networks function.
• 5:33
  There's the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces,
• 5:36
  known as the FEMPE, OK. They act as an umbrella
• 5:39
  organization for city councils across the country, and they
• 5:42
  utilize their network to call for nationwide rallies in
• 5:45
  solidarity with Suda. Oh, so it's spread
• 5:48
  institutionally? Yes, and because immigration is
• 5:50
  such a polarized issue, these rallies immediately became
• 5:54
  proxies for national politics. Right, because the turnout
• 5:57
  wasn't just a few dozen people with candles in Madrid.
• 6:00
  Around 50,000 people gathered at the Sibilis Fountain 50. 1000 in
• 6:03
  Madrid alone. And similar massive rallies
• 6:06
  happened in Barcelona, Valencia and Seville.
• 6:08
  And the messaging at these rallies was driven heavily by
• 6:11
  Spain's conservative right wing opposition parties, the Popular
• 6:16
  Party and the Vox party. Right, they were marching under
• 6:18
  banners like Soot is Not for Sale.
• 6:20
  Exactly. Leaders like Alberto Nunez Fejo
• 6:23
  from the PP and Santiago A Bascal from Vox, used these
• 6:27
  platforms to directly attack Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's
• 6:30
  left-leaning coalition government.
• 6:32
  They accused Madrid of abandoning SOTA and demanded
• 6:35
  mass expulsions. But what's crazy is if you walk
• 6:38
  just a few streets over in Madrid, you see a totally
• 6:41
  inverted picture of the exact same crisis.
• 6:44
  The counter protests, yeah. At the exact same time as the
• 6:47
  Sybilis rally, there were massive anti racism counter
• 6:51
  protests taking place at Plaza del Cayo.
• 6:53
  And those were backed by the left.
• 6:55
  Heavily backed by Spain's left wing parties like Esquerde,
• 6:58
  Unita and Podemos, you had prominent figures like Member of
• 7:02
  the European Parliament. Are we Montero speaking to the
• 7:04
  crowds? And her messaging was completely
• 7:06
  different. Completely.
• 7:07
  She forcefully reminded the public that the people sleeping
• 7:10
  on the beaches and soda, as she put it, are human beings right.
• 7:13
  And she actually attacked the Prime Minister from the left,
• 7:16
  criticizing the government from making shady border enforcement
• 7:19
  deals with Morocco instead of focusing on human rights.
• 7:22
  Which really highlights the fragility of Spain's current
• 7:25
  national government. Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez
• 7:29
  relies on a highly fractured parliamentary alliance to stay
• 7:33
  in power. So he's taking fire from both
• 7:35
  sides. Exactly when a local crisis in
• 7:38
  soda sparks 50,000 people marching on the right and
• 7:42
  counter protests on the left, the pressure immediately travels
• 7:46
  up the political food chain to the halls of Congress.
• 7:49
  Which explains why the Prime Minister was suddenly summoned
• 7:52
  to appear before Congress on September 3rd, a full 6 days
• 7:56
  earlier than the parliamentary schedule initially planned.
• 7:59
  The opposition forced his hand. Yeah, the pressure was just too
• 8:01
  much. And the central mystery that
• 8:03
  Congress wanted the Prime Minister to answer was a matter
• 8:06
  of basics. State competency.
• 8:09
  Did the government know this massive wave of 70,000 people
• 8:12
  was coming or were they caught completely blind?
• 8:14
  And the reason the opposition smelled blood in the water is
• 8:17
  that the prime minister's own cabinet couldn't keep their
• 8:20
  story straight. No, they could not.
• 8:22
  This part of the deep dive truly baffled me.
• 8:25
  You have Defense Minister Margarita Robles claiming
• 8:28
  publicly that the National Intelligence Center, the CNI,
• 8:32
  which is essentially Spain CIA, warned the government a full day
• 8:36
  earlier. Right, she said.
• 8:37
  The C and I flagged social media campaigns explicitly urging
• 8:41
  people to enter swimming into SOTA.
• 8:43
  But then Interior Minister Fernando Grande Amor Alaska
• 8:46
  stepped in front of the microphones and completely
• 8:49
  contradicted her. He claimed there was no report
• 8:52
  alerting them to any coordinated mass entry.
• 8:54
  I have to push back here. Wait, how can 2 senior ministers
• 8:58
  sitting in the exact same cabinet look at the exact same
• 9:00
  situation and have completely opposite facts?
• 9:02
  It seems impossible, right? But if we look at the
• 9:05
  bureaucratic architecture of the Spanish government, it starts to
• 9:07
  make sense. OK, break that down for me.
• 9:09
  So the intelligence agency, the CNI, falls under the
• 9:12
  jurisdiction of the Ministry of Defense.
• 9:14
  So Minister Robles sees all their raw intelligence.
• 9:17
  Got it. However, the the National Police
• 9:19
  and the Guardia Civil, the actual people standing on the
• 9:22
  beaches in Certa, they fall under the Ministry of the
• 9:24
  Interior run by Minister Mar Alaska.
• 9:27
  So it's a massive silo problem. Exactly.
• 9:30
  If the bureaucratic firewall between those two ministries is
• 9:33
  too thick, or if they define a threat differently, Defense
• 9:37
  might have a memo about a social media trend the Interior claims
• 9:41
  never cross their desk as an actionable alert.
• 9:44
  Wow, so it's a classic silo problem but with 70,000 people
• 9:47
  knocking on the door? Yeah, and of course, the
• 9:49
  political rivals pounced on this internal chaos.
• 9:52
  The sources show the ruling center left party, the PSOE,
• 9:57
  sending out Patsy Lopez to try and do damage control.
• 10:00
  Which didn't go over too well. No, he tried to bridge the gap,
• 10:03
  suggesting the CNI did warn of a sea crossing but just didn't
• 10:07
  predict the extraordinary dimension of the numbers.
• 10:10
  But the opposition completely refused that explanation.
• 10:13
  The conservative PP demanded that the Official Secrets
• 10:16
  Commission be convened immediately.
• 10:18
  Right, accusing the government of hiding behind a mess of
• 10:21
  versions. And Vox decried the event as an
• 10:23
  invasion lacking government action.
• 10:26
  And it wasn't just the right wing throwing punches.
• 10:28
  Junts, the Catalan separatist party which Prime Minister
• 10:32
  Sanchez absolutely needs to pass any legislation.
• 10:35
  They use this moment of weakness to demand that all immigration
• 10:39
  competences be handed over to Catalonia.
• 10:41
  It's just a free for all at that point.
• 10:43
  It really is, even from the far left.
• 10:45
  Ione Belara from Podemos publicly threw her weight behind
• 10:49
  the defense minister, stating that Robles tends to tell the
• 10:53
  truth. Which is a massive public insult
• 10:55
  to the interior minister from a former political ally.
• 10:58
  Oh. Absolutely.
• 10:59
  So while politicians in Madrid are arguing over memos, A newly
• 11:03
  leaked police report offers a minute by minute tactical
• 11:06
  breakdown of how the border actually fell and it.
• 11:08
  Heavily contradicts the government's earlier narrative.
• 11:11
  Here's where. It gets really interesting.
• 11:13
  The host introduces this 50 page Intelligence Report from the
• 11:16
  General Commissariat for Aliens and Borders.
• 11:18
  Or seen if they sent this tactical breakdown to National
• 11:22
  Court Judge Maria Tardone. Let's.
• 11:23
  Highlight that for a second. The National Court handles
• 11:26
  crimes against the state. CMF sent the report to Judge
• 11:30
  Tardon because they are investigating whether this was a
• 11:32
  crime against the territorial integrity of Spain itself.
• 11:36
  So. They aren't treating this as a
• 11:38
  standard migration issue, not. At all.
• 11:41
  They see it as a potential breach of national security.
• 11:44
  And when? You read CNF's tactical
• 11:45
  findings, you can see why they conclude this wasn't spontaneous
• 11:49
  mafia trafficking or an organic viral TikTok trend, no.
• 11:52
  They believe this is a highly planned military style operation
• 11:56
  designed specifically to collapse the border.
• 11:58
  They outline what they call a three wave strategy executed
• 12:01
  over July 30th and 31st, right? Yes.
• 12:05
  Wave one hit before 11 in the morning and this group was
• 12:08
  comprised almost entirely of young Moroccan men, aged 15 to
• 12:12
  25, who arrived fully equipped with wet suits and flippers to
• 12:16
  bypass the maritime breakwater right.
• 12:18
  But then the demographic completely shifts.
• 12:21
  Wave 2 lasts from 11:00 AM until 10:00 PM and it's overwhelmingly
• 12:25
  families, women and young children and.
• 12:27
  There is a very specific specific cold tactical logic to
• 12:30
  that shift. Explain.
• 12:31
  That CNF. Explains that under Spanish law
• 12:34
  and international human rights conventions, you cannot use
• 12:37
  standard coercive riot tactics like tear gas or batons against
• 12:42
  toddlers and vulnerable families.
• 12:44
  Right, obviously. So the moment families hit the
• 12:46
  water, the Spanish police and Guardia Civil are forced to
• 12:50
  abandon border defense. They have to pivot entirely to
• 12:54
  humanitarian sea rescue. Wow.
• 12:56
  So it's a deliberate tactic of asymmetric saturation.
• 12:59
  You tie up 100% of the police manpower pulling children out of
• 13:03
  the water, Which? Means the border is now
• 13:05
  completely unguarded and once the.
• 13:07
  System was overwhelmed and the police were occupied acting as
• 13:10
  lifeguards. Wave three hit after 10:00 PM.
• 13:12
  Exactly, and this wave returned to the young athletic male
• 13:16
  profile who could freely cross the now unguarded areas.
• 13:19
  But the. Detail in this 50 page report
• 13:22
  that genuinely reads like a spy thriller is the description of
• 13:25
  these what the police called non uniformed dynamizing agents.
• 13:29
  Yeah, that. Part is wild.
• 13:30
  What were? These agents actually doing on
• 13:32
  the ground. According to police
• 13:34
  observations, there were individuals moving through the
• 13:37
  crowds who did not fit the profile of migrants seeking
• 13:40
  entry. They were described as athletic
• 13:43
  men, mostly aged 30 to 50, wearing neutral polo shirts,
• 13:47
  clothes, sports shoes and belt bags like.
• 13:50
  Floor managers, yes. Literally acting as floor
• 13:53
  managers, they were seen physically directing the crowds,
• 13:56
  managing the flow of people toward the optimal beach
• 13:59
  crossing points. Unbelievable.
• 14:01
  And. Most incredibly, they were
• 14:03
  observed giving direct verbal instructions to uniformed
• 14:06
  Moroccan personnel on the other side of the border.
• 14:09
  And seen if backed us up with digital forensics, didn't they
• 14:12
  they? Did they found that WhatsApp
• 14:13
  messaging discussing the crossings spiked by 3362%?
• 14:18
  That's a. Massive spike and it.
• 14:20
  Didn't look like organic sharing.
• 14:21
  It followed A rigid pre established pattern of
• 14:24
  dissemination, perfectly timed to mobilize the crowds which.
• 14:27
  Brings us to a massive diplomatic contradiction,
• 14:31
  because before this police report leaked, the Spanish
• 14:34
  government, including Prime Minister Sanchez and his
• 14:36
  ministers, had publicly suggested that Russian and
• 14:39
  Israeli disinformation campaigns were behind the social media
• 14:42
  rumors, right? Blaming foreign actors trying to
• 14:45
  destabilize Europe, but. Their own police Intelligence
• 14:48
  Report explicitly points the finger at Moroccan forces.
• 14:52
  CNF notes that Moroccan authorities showed extreme
• 14:55
  permissiveness, essentially stepping aside, and that.
• 14:58
  The crossing was time to coincide with Morocco's right
• 15:02
  so. How is the government reacting
• 15:03
  to their own police force contradicting them?
• 15:06
  If your own police are saying agents in polo shirts were
• 15:08
  directing traffic on the beach while Moroccan guards watched,
• 15:11
  how do you maintain the official stance?
• 15:13
  Well, it. Requires a master class in
• 15:15
  bureaucratic maneuvering. Francisco Pardo, the director
• 15:18
  general of the National Police, had to step in to do damage
• 15:21
  control. What did you?
• 15:22
  Say he. Insists that while the Cena
• 15:24
  report accurately details the events in the presence of these
• 15:27
  individuals, the document does not officially attribute the
• 15:31
  planning or execution of the mass entry to the Moroccan state
• 15:35
  itself. I mean.
• 15:35
  Come on, that feels like a distinction with almost zero
• 15:38
  difference in the world of. International diplomacy, That
• 15:41
  tiny distinction, is everything. It's the difference between
• 15:45
  acknowledging A localized tactical failure and formally
• 15:49
  accusing your southern neighbor of committing an act of hybrid
• 15:52
  warfare. And.
• 15:53
  Spain relies heavily on Morocco for counterterrorism and trade.
• 15:56
  Exactly. So they maintain a delicate
• 15:58
  diplomatic balance at all costs. So.
• 16:01
  Pivot with me for a second. We have this incredible
• 16:03
  situation where migration is causing a literal political
• 16:06
  earthquake at the borders, dividing the cabinet and
• 16:09
  threatening diplomatic ties. Yes.
• 16:11
  But. Simultaneously, and
• 16:12
  surprisingly, the official data shows that this exact same force
• 16:15
  migration is quietly acting as a shock absorber for Spain's
• 16:20
  national economy. If we.
• 16:21
  Connect this to the bigger picture.
• 16:23
  We have to look closely at the newly released August jobs
• 16:26
  report because on the surface the numbers look bad.
• 16:30
  They. Really do.
• 16:31
  The report shows that 163,000 jobs were destroyed in August,
• 16:36
  bringing total unemployment in Spain up to 2.36 million, Which?
• 16:41
  Happens because the summer tourist season comes to a very
• 16:43
  abrupt end, right? Resulting in massive layoffs,
• 16:46
  particularly hitting the education sectors and the
• 16:49
  manufacturing industries that support tourism.
• 16:52
  But if you. Look deeper at the historical
• 16:53
  context, you find a massive plot twist.
• 16:56
  Despite losing all those jobs, this actually represents the
• 17:00
  absolute lowest August unemployment level in Spain
• 17:03
  since 2007, right? Before the global financial
• 17:06
  crisis, I was looking at that data and I couldn't wrap my head
• 17:09
  around it. How is it mathematically
• 17:11
  possible to have the best August in 17 years while simultaneously
• 17:15
  watching 163,000 people lose their jobs?
• 17:19
  The. Mechanism behind it is a
• 17:21
  historic boost in Social Security affiliations.
• 17:23
  OK. Driven by what?
• 17:24
  Driven. By 337,000 917 foreign workers
• 17:29
  who recently regularized their administrative status in Spain
• 17:32
  let's. Make sure that's clear for the
• 17:34
  listeners. When we say regularize, we're
• 17:36
  talking about taking people who are likely already living in
• 17:40
  Spain and working in the underground shadow economy,
• 17:43
  getting paid under the table and granting them official residency
• 17:47
  and work permits, correct? By granting them official
• 17:49
  status, those roughly 338,000 workers are instantly
• 17:54
  transitioned into the official tax paying system.
• 17:57
  They. Begin paying into Social
• 17:58
  Security. Exactly.
• 17:59
  So you have government ministers like Labor Minister Yolanda Diaz
• 18:04
  and Inclusion Minister El Masai's pointing to this data as
• 18:08
  a massive success, right they? Sell us to this regularization
• 18:11
  as highly positive they. Argued that without the formal
• 18:15
  integration of these immigrant workers into the tax base, the
• 18:18
  seasonal job drop from the end of the tourist season would have
• 18:21
  devastated the national balance sheet.
• 18:23
  So it's. Like a seesaw, the tourism
• 18:25
  industry jumps off, but a massive wave of regularized
• 18:28
  immigrant workers jumps on to keep the economy from crashing
• 18:31
  to the ground. That.
• 18:32
  Is a perfect way to visualize it.
• 18:34
  Foreign labor is structurally buffering the Spanish economy's
• 18:37
  seasonal vulnerabilities. But out.
• 18:39
  Of all the statistics we combed through today, I have to ask
• 18:43
  you, what is the most surprising data point in all these numbers?
• 18:46
  Oh. It has to be the ultimate irony
• 18:48
  of this entire deep dive. If you look at a map of Spain's
• 18:52
  17 autonomous communities and two autonomous cities, Well,
• 18:57
  actually, amidst the massive chaotic border crisis, Satuta
• 19:01
  was the only autonomous community in all of Spain where
• 19:04
  unemployment actually went down. In August, that is.
• 19:07
  Wild. The rest of the country is
• 19:08
  losing jobs as summer ends, and the epicenter of a national
• 19:12
  border crisis is the sole exception.
• 19:14
  How does that even happen? Well, statistically.
• 19:16
  It was a modest drop. Only 140 people found jobs.
• 19:19
  OK, but it highlights the strange local economics of a
• 19:22
  crisis. When a border collapses and 5000
• 19:25
  displaced people are suddenly living in a small city, it
• 19:28
  triggers an influx of emergency government funds.
• 19:31
  NGO presence, security personnel?
• 19:33
  Exactly. That sudden mobilization
• 19:35
  artificially props up short term local employment in logistics,
• 19:39
  security and aid services. It really.
• 19:41
  Emphasizes how deeply complex and counterintuitive this whole
• 19:44
  issue. Is it really?
• 19:45
  Is so to briefly synthesize what we've looked at today, we've
• 19:50
  seen how a highly organized three wave border collapse in
• 19:53
  Sota triggered intense local despair, which then.
• 19:57
  Sparked a nationwide political firestorm over intelligence
• 20:00
  failures, right? And yet simultaneously, broader
• 20:04
  migration regularization is quietly propping up Spain's post
• 20:09
  summer labor market. It's all.
• 20:10
  Deeply connected, and I want to leave you, the listener, with a
• 20:14
  final thought to Mull over as you watch this situation
• 20:17
  develop. There's a.
• 20:17
  Looming deadline, right? Yes.
• 20:19
  In response to the initial border breach, the Spanish
• 20:22
  government officially declared the soda crisis a situation of
• 20:25
  interest for national security, Which.
• 20:27
  Is a specific legal decree that grants the city special
• 20:30
  resources and emergency funding exactly.
• 20:32
  But by law, that specific decree expires on December 31st and.
• 20:36
  According to the police report, there are still up to 10,000
• 20:39
  migrants unaccounted for hiding in improvised shelters right in
• 20:42
  a. City of just 84,000 So what
• 20:45
  happens on January 1st when the emergency funding and legal
• 20:48
  framework suddenly vanish, but the people are still there It's
• 20:51
  a. Huge unanswered question that's.
• 20:53
