Juan F. Coronatti in El Intercafé: «There are millions of Ukrainians surrounded in the south who want to leave and but they cannot»

The Director General of the Spanish Agency for the Protection of Human Rights (CIPDH), Juan F. Coronatti, told Intereconomía Valencia about the refugee situation: «In a humanitarian crisis like this, the spotlight is on Poland because that’s where more people are leaving. more than 2 million people, but Ukraine has 40 million citizens and most of them cannot pass through Moldova because they are fenced off in the southern regions, and that is where The main problem «

In this sense, Coronatti explained: “through our kyiv office, we received a petition asking for our direct intervention for humanitarian aid and in this case, we made an exception to accept the challenge. We have four official letters, from the governors of the south, from the government fund and from the Catholic and Orthodox Church to intervene in the south of the country and create a humanitarian green corridor that connects Spain to Ukraine.

For this reason, the Director General of the Spanish Agency for the Protection of Human Rights (CIPDH) assured: «the European Union is not ready to prevent the states bordering Ukraine from collapsing with the arrival of refugees. The truth is that there is a palpable lack of coordination in many countries, including Spain.”

Finally, referring to the economic situation, Juan F. Coronatti underlined: “circumstances affect some more than others. The Europe that has the most business with Russia is the most affected, but Spain is not one of them because we have no energy dependence”.
