The incident, which left dozens of people homeless and without their belongings, resulted in the total loss of essential documents such as passports and certificates, severely hindering their regularization process.
“"It is absolutely intolerable that, in the face of a humanitarian tragedy like this, no administration has appeared. Neither the central government, nor the Junta de Andalucía, nor the city councils have shown their faces. We are talking about people who sustain our economy and who are systematically abandoned to their fate."
Adelante Andalucía has criticized institutional inaction, pointing out that such incidents are not accidental but rather a consequence of policies that perpetuate exclusion. It was noted that the province of Huelva has recorded over thirty fires in shantytown settlements since 2020, a figure that highlights the lack of effective solutions.
The Por Andalucía coalition emphasized that the loss of documentation prevents those affected from accessing regularization processes and basic rights, advocating for the need to make administrative procedures more flexible. They also regretted the recent rejection in the Congress of creating a commissioner for the migrant seasonal worker population, a tool that, in their view, could have coordinated a more effective response.
“"The fire has not only ravaged their shacks, it has destroyed their opportunity to regularize their situation. It is a double condemnation: losing everything and being left out of the administrative process due to a tragedy that no one prevented."
Both political groups demand immediate housing solutions, a real plan to eradicate shantytowns, facilities to recover lost documentation, and guarantees for the regularization of these individuals, stressing that dignity is the minimum requirement for those who contribute to the agricultural sector.
