Editorial: El País

• Over 400 people are living in Barajas airport due to precarious working conditions.
• Administrations have shown indifference by not preparing an official census to design individual solutions.
• Airlines and Aena simply moved the people to a space away from tourist sight without solving the problem.
• Most of the people living at the airport work during the day and come back to sleep there.
• There is disagreement over which entity should take responsibility for resolving the situation.
• A partial census conducted by Cáritas showed a range of problems among those affected.
• A coordinated action plan amongst Barcelona, El Prat, Aena and the Generalitat of Catalonia has shown progress in a similar situation.

Conclusion: It is urgent that the authorities put political disagreements aside and come together to solve this humanitarian crisis.
