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