Polvorines

Escribía ayer en estas páginas Joaquín Vera, los imprescindibles ojos de La Vanguardia en Ceuta, que los vecinos definen su ciudad como un polvorín a punto de estallar. También se suceden, más allá de lo que pueden confirmar y contar los periodistas, los múltiples testimonios…

The maze of minor migrants

The maze of minor migrants

Once again, unaccompanied migrant minors are at the center of the political fray. The number of children and adolescents roaming the streets of Ceuta since they crossed the border in a rush is unknown. But two figures can help gauge the emergency: the autonomous city, responsible for their care, has accommodated 1,376 minors in various spaces, but the National Police have registered 2,168 youngsters. That is, almost 800 migrants under 18 have been identified but are not yet under the care services’ umbrella. And to these should be added those who have not even been registered by the Security Forces. While hundreds of minors wander alone through the streets in unhealthy conditions and urgently need three meals a day, the Government and the opposition have intensified the debate over their future – return or care – as if it were a collective decision.

Barcelona’s sporting director confirmed that the club has not given up on bringing in a number nine to strengthen the attack, although the club is coming to terms with the fact that signing Julián Álvarez is increasingly complicated. In fact, Deco literally announced that Barça plans to bring in a striker after Lewandowski’s farewell, following the end of his contract at 37 years old. “We will probably make some move,” he revealed on TV3.

Barça takes a Gamper in which Flick gives few clues while waiting for the number nine

Barça takes a Gamper in which Flick gives few clues while waiting for the number nine

If it had to be described simply as a football match, it is obvious that the Gamper is no longer what it used to be. The summer trophy, like so many others, has been swallowed up by an overloaded schedule that barely leaves crumbs from the start. Once an exciting prelude that fans, foreign but especially local, took advantage of to see the new signings live against top-class rivals, today it is an excuse to cash in with tourists as the main targets. The Gamper, that said, still maintains that something of a season opener where hopes are still intact, this year more than ever after Hansi Flick’s two consecutive Leagues and the recent and stunning signing of Rodri.
