The purpose of the event is to highlight the reality of the problems of refugees and their constant attempts, despite the danger, to travel to Europe with many landing on the cost of Spain.

“In 2018, 65,000 refugees arrived in Andalucia in boats,” said Wolfgang Riedemaan, who opened the show with the Arancha López Councillor for Foreigners and the German Consul in Andalucia, Arnulf Braun.

Herr Braun commented “I think we have to go to Africa to start solving things and I think we have to stop those criminal organizations that do their business with the world’s poorest.”
