Transcript
- 0:05Speaker 1: This is the seventy seven WABC Mini cast.
- 0:11Speaker 2: My good friend Jose Santa Maria, a good friend, a
- 0:15Speaker 2: native of Spain, worked for the banks in Spain and
- 0:20Speaker 2: his home originally in Spain and lives in New York.
- 0:23Speaker 2: He's an investment banker. Well, Jose, how do you feel
- 0:28Speaker 2: about your country, your homeland being invaded?
- 0:33Speaker 3: John and devastated. The numbers we talked about yesterday, forty
- 0:38Speaker 3: thousand keep on growing. We're talking sixty thousand people moving
- 0:42Speaker 3: into the country. It's terrible. They got some rest yesterday,
- 0:47Speaker 3: but today they need to eat, they need to get dressed.
- 0:50Speaker 3: So we're seeing already assaults into the supermarkets, into the shops.
- 0:55Speaker 3: It's terrible. It's thematic.
- 0:56Speaker 2: Now are they're breaking into people's homes too? I heard that,
- 1:00Speaker 2: you know they're stealing cars. What are they doing?
- 1:03Speaker 3: Well, they meet housing, They need to sleep, some words,
- 1:06Speaker 3: sixty thousand people and they just need to get along
- 1:10Speaker 3: with their lives wherever they are in the country. So
- 1:13Speaker 3: there are now obviously with no money and no support
- 1:16Speaker 3: from anyone, they're starting to commit crimes. It's a very
- 1:19Speaker 3: dramatic situation. Spain had handled immigration very well. There's millions
- 1:24Speaker 3: of Equatorious, Venezuela and Argentinians. People from everywhere, but in
- 1:29Speaker 3: these numbers and undocumented is a real crisis.
- 1:33Speaker 2: Hey, is anybody protecting if I had a home in
- 1:36Speaker 2: Spain in that area, how do I protect my home?
- 1:40Speaker 2: Is there? Is there a police department, is there a military?
- 1:43Speaker 2: Is there anything?
- 1:44Speaker 3: Well? Remember the Socialist government allows for people that get
- 1:50Speaker 3: into an apartment or house to stay there, and the
- 1:54Speaker 3: additional process is very long. It's a year or maybe two.
- 1:57Speaker 3: So that is something that Spain needs to improve right now.
- 2:01Speaker 3: If you get someone to walk into your house and
- 2:03Speaker 3: you're not there, you're not going to get them out
- 2:05Speaker 3: external Wow.
- 2:08Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean this is a real problem.
- 2:09Speaker 3: You know.
- 2:10Speaker 1: The New York Post actually just reported onto this that
- 2:13Speaker 1: not only are they overrunning the towns and so on,
- 2:16Speaker 1: but they're actually using the streets as open toilets and
- 2:20Speaker 1: they're bathing in the fountains. The beautiful fountains of Spain
- 2:25Speaker 1: are now being used as bad as baths and showers.
- 2:30Speaker 3: I want to remind you of the World Health Organization
- 2:33Speaker 3: when you look at the health conditions of these countries. Unfortunately,
- 2:39Speaker 3: Northern Africa is one or two, not just below, which
- 2:42Speaker 3: basically means people come on average with more HIV, more
- 2:47Speaker 3: pure closes, more hepatitis. That's a problem.
- 2:53Speaker 2: It's like, I mean, nobody has checked these people coming
- 2:56Speaker 2: in for if they have diseases, Nobody has checked them
- 2:59Speaker 2: for if they're at of prison, etc. I mean in
- 3:03Speaker 2: the United States when we had alex Island, we have
- 3:06Speaker 2: checks and balances. You know, you have to pass the
- 3:08Speaker 2: Alis Island test to make sure you come in. I mean, ose,
- 3:15Speaker 2: this is a mess.
- 3:16Speaker 3: It is a mess, and I want to emphasize how
- 3:20Speaker 3: important it is to prioritize the security agenda. To me,
- 3:25Speaker 3: there's a clear triangle of security which should have been
- 3:29Speaker 3: coordination between Sain, Israel and Morocco. That's a big triangle
- 3:33Speaker 3: that requires very professional security and that is not happening
- 3:39Speaker 3: unfortunately with this Spanish government.
- 3:41Speaker 1: But you have a real big problem because it's actually
- 3:44Speaker 1: your government that created this problem. It's interesting that they're
- 3:48Speaker 1: now looking for say foreign countries or more foreign countries
- 3:53Speaker 1: are involved in trying to deal with this overrunning of
- 3:57Speaker 1: SUTA as opposed to their own government itself. What are
- 4:01Speaker 1: they waiting for?
- 4:04Speaker 3: Well, remember how this prime minister won the presidency of
- 4:09Speaker 3: the Socialist Party and he also the presidency of the country.
- 4:14Speaker 3: It was not because the majority of people voted him.
- 4:18Speaker 3: It was because of all the minorities with their conflicts
- 4:22Speaker 3: of interest, I mean the Catalans on one side, the
- 4:25Speaker 3: best on the other, all the separaties, people that have
- 4:28Speaker 3: a vested interest in accomplishing their personal goals. They voted
- 4:33Speaker 3: for him to become prime minister. He never had the
- 4:36Speaker 3: majority of the Spaniers. Spain and most of these countries
- 4:40Speaker 3: are actually leaning towards the consortative side. It is always
- 4:43Speaker 3: in a concert of this country. But this prime minister
- 4:47Speaker 3: has made decisions on his own that don't represent at
- 4:51Speaker 3: all the Spaniards.
- 4:52Speaker 1: And maybe it doesn't represent the Spaniards, but unfortunately the
- 4:55Speaker 1: Spaniards now have to live with this Repercussion.
- 5:00Speaker 3: Told me that he is trying to naturalize millions of
- 5:04Speaker 3: people on the on the promise and on the on
- 5:08Speaker 3: the commitment that they will vote for him, because he
- 5:10Speaker 3: doesn't have the votes from people in Spain, so he's
- 5:13Speaker 3: trying to get all these migrants to basically vote for
- 5:17Speaker 3: him as soon as possible. Europe has now finally realized
- 5:22Speaker 3: and they're even discussed in closing the Shanngen space to
- 5:25Speaker 3: Spain so that at least they can they can limit
- 5:28Speaker 3: and strict this movement which is absolutely out of control.
- 5:32Speaker 2: Well, well, what a mestus is Well, Jose, thank you
- 5:36Speaker 2: so much for keeping us informed. Anything else you want
- 5:38Speaker 2: to tell the American.
- 5:39Speaker 3: People Spain is a good country, that the politicians are terrible,
- 5:46Speaker 3: So it's important to be.
- 5:47Speaker 2: Votre were what percentage Spain was a Christian country? What
- 5:52Speaker 2: percentage of Spain is now a Christian country? And what
- 5:56Speaker 2: what else is it?
- 5:58Speaker 3: Spain is mostly Christian Catholic as a matter of fact,
- 6:02Speaker 3: it's probably about the seventies seventy five percent. It's been
- 6:07Speaker 3: very open minded. But the problem is these young people,
- 6:13Speaker 3: times with ideas and times with objectives, which are creating
- 6:18Speaker 3: an amount of tension similar to the one that you see,
- 6:22Speaker 3: for example in South France or in the u K.
- 6:26Speaker 3: Where they haven't been able to absorb this migration. They
- 6:30Speaker 3: never naturalize people by doing the right due diligence and
- 6:34Speaker 3: the investigations. They never did that. So right now Spain
- 6:38Speaker 3: has a massive amount of people which are going to
- 6:40Speaker 3: be very upset. Of course, they need to use toilets,
- 6:42Speaker 3: they need to eat, they need to drink. That's terrible.
- 6:45Speaker 3: There's no way to handle this well.
- 6:48Speaker 2: Thank you, Santa Maria, Thank you for coming on, keep
- 6:51Speaker 2: us informed, keep on New York as all Americans informed,
- 6:55Speaker 2: and we'll catch up with you again.
- 6:56Speaker 3: Wilson I will jump talking to you.
- 6:59Speaker 2: Thank you,
