In any case, she has insisted that there is an ongoing investigation in which the Government “has only to collaborate with all these elements and that in the end it is the prosecutors, the judges who can also rule on the matter.”
Regarding the protocol that should have been applied in the case of health care for migrants, the minister has responded emphatically that any human being has the right to receive medical care and that, therefore, “in this sense, you will only find the iron will to be able to accompany the lives of people beyond how the events happen”.

Of course, he has clarified in an interview on Radio Nacional, collected by Europa Press, that it is necessary to be “aware” that the management of a point such as the Melilla fence is “very complex” and that the priority has to be “a management based on human rights, but also protect the State Security Forces and Corps”.
“The management has to be guided by these principles and I have no doubt that everything will be clarified and there is full collaboration from the Government,” insisted the minister, who has avoided answering whether or not there should be an investigation commission in Congress .
