Federation map?


After the Apicalipse there was a website where you could see which instance de/federates with others, as a map. It's url was lemmymap.feddit.de/ but I guess it went down with feddit.de I found even a screenshot in a thread:

screenshot of lemmymap

Currently with the instances button you can see defederation from one direction, but not from the other, e.g. if an instance is defederated by a lot others you can't see that easily.

Does something like this exist?

in reply to infeeeee

The source code for it can be found on codeberg.org/wintermute/lemmym…

But with Wintermute going missing and feddit.de shutting down is has been shut down as well.

It was a nice map. If it still works I will try to redeploy it.

Edit: This is an early prototype of the lemmymap, not the latest version of it. I don't think it's worth to deploy. I may recreate it from scratch in my free time.

🚨BREAKING: The gangs of L.A. brokered a truce and just did more for injustice against innocent immigrants than the entire U.S. Senate has done since they discovered C-SPAN doesn’t have commercials.

Yeah, you heard me. Street crews… yes, those same folks your racist uncle thinks are the final boss in a Fox News fever dream… are now escorting immigrants to court like chivalrous vigilantes in Nike tech fleece. Because when the state decides the Constitution is optional and ICE turns into a roaming death squad with a mask and a clipboard, sometimes the only due process you get is five dudes in matching hoodies telling the feds, “Nah, bro. Not today.”

And guess what? It works. Because ICE agents will happily snatch a grandma from a church picnic if she makes a good deportation stat… but put them near anyone who doesn’t say “yes, sir” with a trembling voice and suddenly they remember they have “other priorities.” These federalized cosplay commandos without badges (but definitely daddy issues) don’t go after the dangerous… they go after the docile. Why? Because they’re not enforcers of law… they’re mall cops with militarized toys and the moral compass of a broken Etch A Sketch.

So of course ICE targets “assimilated immigrants with families.” Because God forbid we deport a white-collar CEO laundering cartel money in Miami… nah, better to rip a kid from his dad in front of the school, then call it “border security.” These aren’t agents… they’re cowards in windbreakers playing hide-and-seek with the American Dream.

And meanwhile, the gangs… yes, gangs… have done what Congress won’t: form a coalition to protect vulnerable people from a government that thinks “compassion” is a foreign threat. These guys just unionized against fascism faster than the Democratic Party could agree on brunch.

So let’s be real. If you’re more outraged that gang members are helping immigrants than you are that the government is hunting them like they’re Pokémon with poor English, you’re not patriotic… you’re complicit. You’re the spiritual lovechild of George Wallace and a Ring doorbell, screaming “law and order” while your empathy dies in 4K.

ICE isn’t about safety. It’s about optics. It’s about keeping middle America scared shitless so they don’t realize who’s actually robbing them blind: it’s not José from Oaxaca, it’s Jeff from JPMorgan.

So props to the homies rolling deep to immigration court. Because while Congress filibusters itself into irrelevance and ICE roleplays as apartheid cosplay, someone’s actually showing up for justice.

You call it gang violence. I call it community defense.

And if that scares you? That’s not fear. That’s your conscience trying to escape the prison you built out of denial. Let it out. Or stay silent… and history will remember you the same way it remembers the cowards: not at all.

If your biggest concern is how uncomfortable this rant made you, congrats… you’re officially less useful than a wet napkin at a house fire. But hey, keep scrolling. I’m sure there’s a cat video somewhere that’ll let you pretend the world isn’t burning.

Wake the hell up.

We can't figure out how to disable secure boot


My girlfriend is trying to run Bazzite. She installed it, but she can't run it, because secure boot is turned on. She's using an Alienware M15 R7, and we can't find the secure boot setting. The manual says it should be in the boot configuration menu, but it's not there or in security either. How do you disabled secure boot on an M15 R7?

The sophisticated nature of shipping from Singapore to Malaysia encompasses multiple dimensions beyond basic transportation, including thorough regulatory compliance, precise documentation management, and strategic operational coordination.

Organizations utilizing the courier service Singapore to Malaysia platforms frequently discover that minor operational oversights can create substantial delays and unexpected financial burdens. Success in cargo Malaysia operations stems from identifying potential complications early and establishing comprehensive preventive measures before issues arise. Companies like Evermarch have demonstrated that excellence in Malaysia cargo transportation requires proactive planning and meticulous attention to operational details.

II. Mastering Documentation Requirements for Delivery to Malaysia

Accurate documentation forms the cornerstone of successful delivery to Malaysia from Singapore operations. The completeness and precision of required paperwork directly influence customs processing efficiency and overall shipment performance outcomes. When managing cargo to Malaysia, businesses must ensure all mandatory documentation is thoroughly prepared and accurately submitted to prevent costly processing delays.

Common documentation errors include incomplete commercial invoices, missing detailed packing lists, and incorrect product declarations. These mistakes frequently result in shipment holds, additional processing fees, and damaged customer relationships. Professional cargo transport company providers specializing in parcel to Malaysia services must prioritize comprehensive client education regarding proper documentation standards to ensure efficient cross-border operations.

Understanding customs regulations represents a critical foundation for successful cargo transport operations. Each product category maintains specific regulatory requirements and duty calculations that must be precisely determined before shipment initiation. Businesses involved in parcel from Singapore to Malaysia operations must assign the correct Harmonized System codes to their products to prevent complications during customs evaluation processes.

Essential Strategies for Avoiding Critical Malaysia Delivery Errors

III. Implementing Advanced Packaging Solutions for Tropical Conditions

The challenging tropical climate conditions throughout Southeast Asia require specialized packaging methodologies for cargo Malaysia and Malaysia delivery operations. High humidity levels and extreme temperature variations can damage inadequately protected goods during transportation. Companies must invest in appropriate protective packaging materials that provide comprehensive protection throughout the entire delivery to Malaysia from Singapore.

Moisture-resistant packaging becomes particularly crucial for electronics, textiles, and other climate-sensitive merchandise. Strategic investment in superior packaging materials protects product integrity and company reputation while significantly reducing customer complaints and return requests for cargo Malaysia deliveries. Professional providers understand these environmental challenges and implement appropriate protective measures for all shipments.

IV. Financial Planning and Cost Optimization Strategies

Accurate expense forecasting presents considerable challenges for businesses entering the Malaysia cargo markets. Total costs for the courier service Singapore to Malaysia operations include numerous components beyond fundamental transportation fees. Additional expenses, including customs duties, processing charges, insurance costs, and administrative fees, can dramatically increase final shipping expenditures.

Successful companies establish strategic partnerships with experienced parcel delivery to Malaysia providers who offer transparent pricing models and detailed cost analyses. This approach facilitates superior financial planning and enables businesses to establish competitive customer pricing while maintaining healthy profit margins in cross border delivery services operations. Understanding all cost components helps businesses make informed decisions about their shipping strategies.

V. Technology Integration for Enhanced Service Delivery

Modern shipping from Singapore to Malaysia benefits significantly from advanced tracking and communication platforms. Real-time shipment visibility helps both businesses and customers stay informed about delivery progress throughout the entire process. Organizations lacking adequate tracking capabilities miss valuable opportunities to provide exceptional customer service and may struggle to identify and resolve operational issues promptly.

Investment in technology platforms supporting cargo to Malaysia operations enables superior customer communication and more efficient issue resolution. These systems generate valuable operational insights that can enhance processes and improve overall service delivery quality. Advanced tracking systems also help build customer confidence by providing transparency throughout the shipping process.

VI. Building Strategic Partnerships for Operational Excellence

Logistics partner selection plays a fundamental role in ship from Malaysia to Singapore operational success. Experienced providers contribute specialized expertise regarding regulatory requirements, customs procedures, and industry best practices that help businesses avoid common operational pitfalls. Companies should prioritize partners with proven performance histories in Malaysia delivery and comprehensive service capabilities.

Successful collaborations in delivery to Malaysia operations require transparent communication, aligned objectives, and shared commitment to operational excellence. These strategic relationships provide businesses with essential resources and expertise required to navigate complex international shipping requirements effectively. Professional partners like Evermarch understand the intricacies of regional logistics and can help businesses avoid costly mistakes while ensuring reliable service delivery.

Effective timeline management proves essential for maintaining excellent customer relationships in the parcel to Malaysia operations. Many organizations underestimate the duration required for customs clearance and documentation processing, resulting in dissatisfied customers and damaged business reputations. Cross border delivery services naturally require extended processing time compared to domestic shipping options, and businesses must factor these considerations into their delivery commitments.

#UK / Co-op stops sourcing from Israel over human rights violations

The Co-op Group, a member-owned retailer operating over 2,300 UK food stores, announced it will cease sourcing products from 17 countries including Israel due to "internationally recognised" human rights abuses and violations of international law. The retailer will stop selling Israeli carrots this month as part of its commitment to no longer stock Israeli goods. The decision follows a board review of the Co-op's role "in building peace" and reflects member voices.

Other countries on the prohibited list include Russia, Mali, Afghanistan, Belarus, Iran, Libya and Syria. This contrasts with other UK retailers like #Tesco, which continues sourcing from #Israel while avoiding Israeli settlements in occupied Palestinian territories.

The people should have the same tools used by domestic abusing cowardly killers with legal immunity (cops)

404media.co/fucklapd-com-lets-…


‘FuckLAPD.com’ Lets Anyone Use Facial Recognition to Instantly Identify Cops


A new site, FuckLAPD.com, is using public records and facial recognition technology to allow anyone to identify police officers in Los Angeles they have a picture of. The tool, made by artist Kyle McDonald, is designed to help people identify cops who may otherwise try to conceal their identity, such as covering their badge or serial number.

“We deserve to know who is shooting us in the face even when they have their badge covered up,” McDonald told me when I asked if the site was made in response to police violence during the LA protests against ICE that started earlier this month. “fucklapd.com is a response to the violence of the LAPD during the recent protests against the horrific ICE raids. And more broadly—the failure of the LAPD to accomplish anything useful with over $2B in funding each year.”

“Cops covering up their badges? ID them with their faces instead,” the site, which McDonald said went live this Saturday. The tool allows users to upload an image of a police officer’s face to search over 9,000 LAPD headshots obtained via public record requests. The site says image processing happens on the device, and no photos or data are transmitted or saved on the site. “Blurry, low-resolution photos will not match,” the site says.

fucklapd.com uses data provided by the City of Los Angeles directly to the public,” McDonald told me in an email. “This data has been provided in response to either public records requests or public records lawsuits. That means all of this information belongs to the public and is a matter of public record. fucklapd.com is not scraping any data.”

In addition to potentially identifying officers by name and serial number, FuckLAPD.com also pulls up a police officer’s salary.

“Surprisingly it [the domain name] only costs $10 a year to exercise my first amendment right to say fucklapd.com,” McDonald said.
playlist.megaphone.fm?p=TBIEA2…
I tested the tools by grabbing an image of a white and bald police officer from an LAPD press conference addressing its use of force during the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles. I uploaded the image to the site, and within a few seconds the site presented me with nine headshots of officers who could be possible matches, all of them bald white men. The first correctly identified the cop in the image I uploaded.

Clicking “view profile” under the result sent me to the Watch the Watchers site by the Stop LAPD Spying Coalition, a community group based in the Skid Row neighborhood of downtown Los Angeles. “All of the information on this website comes from records that were deliberately made public by the City of Los Angeles in response to either public records requests or public records lawsuits,” the Watch the Watchers site says. “We plan to keep refreshing this data from new public records requests as well as to add other data.” Stop LAPD Spying Coalition is not associated with FuckLAPD.com and did not endorse the site.

McDonald told me that since the site launched, it had around 50,000 visitors, but “Because the analysis happens on-device I have no way of knowing what people are using it for, except for some people who have posted screenshots to Twitter or Instagram,” he said.

In 2018 McDonald made another tool called ICEspy which used hundreds of photos of ICE employees from LinkedIn and does much the same thing as FuckLAPD.com. “This app is designed to highlight and embarrass the organization committing atrocities against refugees and immigrants to the United States,” ICEspy’s website says. That tool originally used a Microsoft API, before Microsoft restricted access to it. McDonald said on X that he recently relaunched the tool to run locally on devices. 404 Media tested ICEspy using images of ICE employees on LinkedIn to verify if the tool worked and each result was incorrect; McDonald indicated on X he was looking for others to re-scrape LinkedIn and update the database.

Over the last few months ICE officers have consistently worn masks, neck gaiters, sunglasses, and baseball caps to shield their identity while often refusing to provide their name or even confirm the agency they belong to. This includes while violently assaulting people, detaining U.S. citizens, and pointing weapons at bystanders, leaving little room for recourse or accountability against the individual agents or the agency.

ICE’s constant use of masks has created a climate where people cannot be sure that the heavily armed group of men coming towards them are really federal agents or not. In Philadelphia, a man pretended to be an ICE agent in order to rob an auto repair shop and zip tie an employee. In Brooklyn, a man posed as an immigration officer before attempting to rape a woman.

ICE claims that assaults against its officers have increased by 413 percent, and use this as the justification for covering their faces. But as Philip Bump showed in the Washington Postthere are still plenty of questions about those numbers and their accuracy. ICE says its officers’ family members have been doxed too.

Neither the LAPD or ICE responded to a request for comment.

Joseph Cox contributed reporting.

Site Protection Standards And Safety Regulations For Crushing Plants In Different Countries In Latin America


The mining and construction sectors in Latin America are rapidly evolving, driven by infrastructure development and increasing demand for aggregates. However, operating aggregate crusher plants and other crushing equipment safely and in compliance with local laws is a complex challenge. Countries across the region have developed distinct site protection standards and safety regulations that operators must navigate to avoid penalties, ensure worker safety, and minimize environmental impact.

This article explores the varied safety and site protection requirements for crushing plants in key Latin American countries, highlighting best practices and regulatory considerations for stone crusher en Mexico, portable debris crusher operations, and other installations.

Overview Of Crushing Plant Safety Regulations In Latin America


Mining and aggregate crushing sites(planta procesadora de agregados) inherently pose risks due to heavy machinery, dust generation, noise, and large volumes of loose materials. Latin American governments recognize these risks and have implemented regulations that address equipment safety, environmental protection, and worker health.

Although many countries share common goals, the specifics of site protection standards and safety legislation vary considerably. This variation requires operators to stay informed and adapt their processes accordingly.

Country-Specific Site Protection And Safety Requirements

Mexico: Comprehensive Regulation For Stone Crusher Operations


Mexico maintains one of the more developed regulatory frameworks for crushing plants. The stone crusher en Mexico(trituradora de piedra en mexico) must comply with guidelines from SEMARNAT (Secretaría de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales) concerning emissions control, noise limits, and water management.

Operators are required to install dust suppression systems, including water sprays and filters, to minimize particulate release. Safety measures such as guarded conveyors, emergency stop mechanisms, and proper signage are strictly enforced.

In addition, Mexico mandates regular workplace safety training and audits to ensure compliance with NOM-031-STPS-2011, which governs the prevention of occupational hazards in mining and construction environments.

Brazil: Environmental and Labor Safety Emphasis


Brazil’s crushing plant operators face stringent environmental licensing procedures. Agencies such as IBAMA (Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Naturais Renováveis) enforce regulations related to land use, water discharge, and air quality.

Aggregate crusher plant installations must include measures for noise abatement and erosion control due to the country’s sensitive ecosystems. Worker safety follows the standards of NR-22, a regulation that sets forth health and safety protocols specific to mining activities.

Brazilian regulations also emphasize community engagement and require companies to conduct environmental impact assessments before project approval.

Chile: Advanced Worker Protection and Site Monitoring


Chile has developed advanced worker safety laws, requiring crushing plant operators to implement hazard identification, risk analysis, and safety controls under the Ministry of Health’s guidelines.

Portable and fixed plants alike must be equipped with guarded machinery, vibration dampening, and ergonomic controls. Regular monitoring of dust levels, noise exposure, and equipment maintenance records is compulsory.

For environmental protection, Chile mandates revegetation plans and water resource management, especially in mining regions vulnerable to desertification.

Argentina and Peru: Growing Focus On Site Safety and Environmental Protection


Argentina and Peru are continuously updating their safety regulations to match international best practices. Both countries require portable debris crusher(trituradora de escombros portátil) operators to maintain clean work sites with clear access paths and emergency response plans.

In Peru, the Ministry of Energy and Mines oversees safety certifications, requiring crushing plants to adhere to operational limits on noise and dust, and to install emergency shutdown systems.

Argentina’s Secretariat of Mining enforces site perimeter security, worker PPE standards, and machinery safety interlocks, aiming to reduce accidents on aggregate crusher plant sites.

Best Practices For Compliance Across Latin America


  • Dust and Noise Control: Use of water sprays, dust collectors, and noise barriers is essential to comply with air and sound pollution standards.
  • Machinery Safeguards: Guarding of belts, pulleys, and crushers, along with emergency stop devices, reduces injury risk.
  • Worker Training: Ongoing education on hazard awareness, PPE usage, and emergency protocols is critical.
  • Environmental Management: Proper waste disposal, erosion control, and site restoration protect local ecosystems.
  • Regular Audits: Internal and external inspections ensure continuous adherence to evolving regulations.


Conclusion


Operating a crushing plant in Latin America requires thorough understanding and compliance with a patchwork of national regulations and site protection standards. Whether running a stone crusher en Mexico, a portable debris crusher in Peru, or a large-scale aggregate crusher plant in Brazil, adhering to safety and environmental guidelines is fundamental for legal operation and sustainable business success.

Contractors and plant managers should prioritize up-to-date training, invest in modern safety equipment, and engage local experts to navigate regulatory complexities. By doing so, they contribute to safer work environments, reduced environmental impact, and stronger reputations within Latin America’s competitive mining and construction sectors.

#Palestine / Israeli police kills 65-year-old Palestinian woman in occupied East Jerusalem

A 65-year-old Palestinian woman, Zahiya al-Obeidi, was shot dead in the head by Israeli police during operations in Shuafat refugee camp in East Jerusalem. She was brought to Shuafat checkpoint with penetrating injuries and no signs of life. Police have opened an investigation into the circumstances.

A police sniper shot last week two Palestinians in the al-Tur neighborhood - 12-year-old Iyas Ra'ad Abu Mafreh and his 21-year-old cousin Oudai Fadi Abu Juma. Police claimed they were involved in throwing fireworks and Molotov cocktails, but family members and eyewitnesses told #Haaretz they were standing on the street eating pizza with no disturbances in the area. Video footage obtained by Haaretz supports the family's account.

On the same day, soldiers shot dead 22-year-old Moataz Hajajleh in Walaja village near Jerusalem, claiming he pulled a knife and tried to stab them and steal their weapons. His family and village residents claim soldiers shot him without danger to themselves, after beating him and his relatives.

Sneaky Expenses That Can Upend Your Web Design Budget


Web design projects often come with hidden costs that can catch you off guard. Some are minor but add up quickly. Others can seriously strain your budget. And if you're hiring a cheap website designer, these surprises can hit harder—low prices often mean

Starting your first website? It's an exhilarating step. But it's easy to misjudge the costs. Many assume they just need a designer, a domain name, and a few photos to get going. Sounds easy, right?

Not so fast.

Web design projects often come with hidden costs that can catch you off guard. Some are minor but add up quickly. Others can seriously strain your budget. And if you're hiring a cheap website designer, these surprises can hit harder—low prices often mean shortcuts somewhere.

Here's what you need to watch for to keep your finances in check.

1. Domain and Hosting Might Not Be Covered


To get your site online, you need a domain (like yourbusiness.com) and hosting (the server that powers your site). Some designers include these in their package. Many don't.

Domains typically cost $10–25 per year. Hosting ranges from $5 a month for basic plans to $40+ for more robust options.

Newcomers often think these are one-time fees. They're not—you'll need to renew them regularly.

2. Templates Can Hide Extra Costs


A pre-built website template might seem like a budget-friendly choice. But templates can come with unexpected expenses.

You might face:

  • Fees for premium features or add-ons
  • Licensing costs for commercial use
  • Charges to hire a developer to tweak a rigid template

By the time you've fixed a "cheap" template, you might've spent as much as a custom design.

3. Stock Images Can Stack Up


Some designers use free images from the internet. Others expect you to provide your own. If you don't have quality photos, you'll likely need to buy stock images.

These typically cost $8–30 per image. A full site might need several, and the bill grows fast.

Using unlicensed images by mistake? That can lead to legal trouble after your site launches.

4. Extra Revisions Can Get Pricey


Most design packages include a few revisions—say, two or three rounds. Go over that, and you're paying extra, often by the hour or per tweak.

First-time site owners often need more changes as they refine their vision. Those small edits can add up quickly.

Ask early: How many revisions are included? What's the cost for extras?

5. SEO Might Be an Add-On


A stunning website is worthless if it's invisible on Google.

Search engine optimization (SEO) covers meta tags, image alt text, and site structure. Some designers include basic SEO. Others charge extra or skip it entirely.

If you're hiring a cheap website designer, don't expect SEO to be part of the deal. A site no one finds isn't worth much.

6. Mobile Optimization Isn't Always Included


You'd assume every site works on phones these days. Not true. Some designers treat mobile-friendly design as an extra service.

You might get a site that looks great on a laptop but breaks on a smartphone. Fixing it later costs more.

Always confirm: Is mobile optimization built in from the start?

7. Content Writing Might Be Your Responsibility


Designers handle visuals and layout. But the text? That's often on you.

Some assume the designer will write the content. Many won't—or they'll use placeholder text and wait for your input. Hiring a copywriter can cost $300–$1,200, depending on your site's scope.

That's a surprise you don't want halfway through the project.

8. Maintenance Comes with a Cost


A website isn't a one-and-done job. It needs ongoing care.

Software updates, plugin fixes, and security patches are a must. Some designers offer maintenance plans. Others leave you to handle it or hire someone else.

Ignoring maintenance can lead to broken features or security risks. It's cheaper to maintain than to rebuild a broken site.

9. Cheap Designers Can Lead to Bigger Bills


A cheap website designer might seem like a great deal. Sometimes, they deliver. But often, you get what you pay for.

They might skip testing across browsers, use outdated tools, or vanish after payment. If your site fails or needs a rework, you're paying someone else to fix it. That "bargain" can become your priciest option.

Final Advice: Ask the Right Questions Upfront


You don't need to be a tech expert to avoid surprises. Just ask clear questions before you commit.

  • Who covers domain and hosting?
  • How many revisions are included?
  • Is the site mobile-friendly?
  • Who writes the content?
  • Is SEO included?
  • What's the plan for maintenance?

It's your site. Know exactly what you're paying for.

Bottom Line


A website is a big investment. Hidden costs can derail your plans, but you can avoid them with the right questions. Whether you're working with a premium studio or a cheap website designer, stay vigilant. Ask questions. Check the contract.

Paying less upfront doesn't always mean saving money in the end.

Ibrahima Traoré, refugiado guineano: "Tuve que dejar mi país por luchar contra la mutilación genital femenina"


Coincidiendo con los actos por el Día de las Personas Refugiadas se ha llevado a cabo en Toledo un encuentro de sensibilización para que la ciudadanía pueda conocer las historias de quienes se vieron obligados a dejar su país por diferentes motivos. Hablamos con varias de ellas de su viaje hasta España y sus planes de futuro en nuestro país DE CIENCIA - Soluciones de habitabilidad para los refugiados: “Hay que dejar de interpretar el desplazamiento forzado en términos de amenaza”

“Tuve que dejar mi país por motivos políticos, porque trabajaba como asesor de una activista que lucha en República de Guinea contra la violencia de género, la mutilación genital femenina o los matrimonios forzados. No me quedó más remedio que salir de mi país para salvar mi propia vida”. Son las palabras de Ibrahima Traoré, refugiado guineano licenciado en Ciencias Políticas que ahora está afincado en Toledo.

Traoré explica que su propia familia provocó que tuviese que convertirse en refugiado. “Conspiraron contra mí, porque hablar y estar en contra de temas como la mutilación femenina o los matrimonios forzosos es como tentar a la normativa y a la ley, más siendo un chaval joven. Mi familia fue el detonante, pero después se convirtió en un problema de Estado”. Explica que fue beneficiario de protección internacional, ya que no puede volver a su país por la persecución que sufre.

Llegó a España en 2018, primero a Guadalajara y después se ha establecido en Toledo, donde continúa trabajando como voluntario en diferentes organizaciones sin ánimo de lucro. Ibrahima va a presentar próximamente su libro Diplomacia, diplomacia de defensa: seguridad colectiva y defensa común del África negra contra dominaciones externas, y lo hará el 26 de junio a las 18:30 en la Biblioteca de Castilla-La Mancha que se ubica en el Alcázar de Toledo.

Ha sido uno de los participantes en un encuentro de sensibilización ciudadana celebrado en Toledo, en el marco del Día de las Personas Refugiadas, que se celebra el 20 de junio. Varias organizaciones sin ánimo de lucro se daban cita en el parque escolar limítrofe al Circo Romano en la ciudad.

El encuentro, además de servir como espacio para que la ciudadanía conozca las historias de estas personas refugiadas, también ha funcionado como zona de reunión para todas aquellas personas que comparten una historia: se vieron obligadas a abandonar su país para buscar una vida con mejores condiciones o porque su vida peligraba. Aprovechaban para participar también en diferentes actividades como un taller de henna, el juego de la petanca, un bingo o un taller de decoración de bolsas de tela -también conocidas como totebags-.

La jornada ha sido organizada por Cruz Roja Española, Movimiento por la Paz, Provivienda, Accem, Diaconía, Cáritas y Médicos del Mundo.

Testimonios de refugiados y migrantes en Toledo


Al igual que Ibrahima, Miguel Valdivieso se convirtió en un preso político en Venezuela y tuvo que abandonar su país. Señala que vino a España hace seis meses después de solicitar asilo político porque era dirigente de un partido político en aquel país, compañero de María Corina Machado -también exiliada en España-. “Cualquier persona disidente del régimen es perseguida en mi país. Después de las elecciones del 28 de julio de 2024 tuve que salir por lo que se denomina un 'Camino Verde'. Desde entonces, por el estrés que sufrí durante la persecución padezco hipertiroidismo”, explica. Además, relata que sus compañeros que no pudieron salir ahora están en prisión.

Varias personas han compartido su historia con elDiario.es Castilla-La Mancha, como Codou, una joven senegalesa de veinte años que llegó a España en 2023. “Salí de Senegal en un barco y tardé siete días en llegar hasta Tenerife.” Nos explica que después fue a Barcelona y finalmente se estableció en Toledo, gracias a Cruz Roja. “Estoy aprendiendo español, poco a poco. Empecé en Barcelona, pero es bastante difícil. Estoy buscando trabajo, yo estudié hostelería y pastelería, así que me gustaría trabajar de eso”, comenta.

Otra joven senegalesa que ha participado en este encuentro es Mariam, de 18 años. Nos explica que llegó a España en septiembre de 2023, concretamente a El Hierro: “Llegué con mi tía en un barco junto a otras cincuenta personas, más o menos. Fue muy difícil”, comenta dirigiendo la mirada al suelo, como si se sintiese incómoda recordando ese episodio de su vida. Sin embargo, cada vez conoce más el idioma y ha aprendido a hablarlo con bastante fluidez. Durante la conversación nos explica que le gustaría estudiar peluquería y estética y trabajar como manicurista.

En el caso de Vlodomir, un médico ucraniano de 68 años, que vivía en Yalta (Crimea) cuenta que se marchó huyendo del conflicto entre su país y Rusia que todavía sigue latente. Está en España desde hace diez meses: “Me fui porque no sé cuándo acabará la guerra. Estoy solo, no tengo a nadie allí, no me queda familia. Vine avión, aunque también en coche y autobús”, explica, aunque todavía encuentra bastante barrera con el idioma.

Krisley, una venezolana de 38 años, decidió abandonar su país para buscar una vida mejor. “La escasez de los recursos me sobrepasó. Tenía tres trabajos y cubría doce horas laboralmente, algo que era completamente insostenible. No sabía si venir a España o a Estados Unidos, pero elegí España porque no quería pasar por los problemas que existen en la frontera”.

Dejó Venezuela en noviembre de 2023 y desde entonces ha tenido varios trabajos para poder mantener a sus padres que sufren enfermedades degenerativas. “En Venezuela la sanidad es privada y es muy costosa, sobre todo cuando son patologías que conllevan muchos cuidados”.

En su relato dice que para las personas migrantes encontrar un empleo es complicado en España: “Tuve malas experiencias, en empleos donde no me pagaron o tuve problemas de violencia, pero ahora con el programa de la organización en la que estoy quiero volver a encontrar un trabajo digno”.

Carlos de la Puente: “El refugio es un derecho”


Desde las diferentes organizaciones sin ánimo de lucro que han estado presentes en este encuentro social han explicado las diferentes iniciativas con las que cuentan para ayudar y posibilitar la integración de los refugiados y migrantes en la sociedad. Cruz Roja Española, Accem, Provivienda, Movimiento por la Paz y Diaconía llevan a cabo el 'Programa de acogida para solicitantes y beneficiarios de protección internacional'. Se trata de un programa con casi 500 plazas de acogida, de las cuales en Cruz Roja Española cuentan con 75 en Castilla-La Mancha.

El referente de Cruz Roja Española en Toledo, Carlos de la Puente, ha explicado que “el refugio es un derecho. Nadie se va de su país porque quiere, sino para labrarse un futuro mejor y sobre todo olvidar lo que han pasado”. Además, subraya que para ser beneficiario de la protección internacional “hay que cumplir los requisitos que marca la Ley de Asilo, como por ejemplo venir de un ambiente de guerra, ser una persona que pertenece al colectivo LGTBIQ+ en países donde está penado por ley y se es perseguido, y también por asuntos políticos o religiosos”, explica.

El programa de acogida lleva activo desde 2016 y en Cruz Roja Española han atendido “en torno a mil personas”, señala De la Puente. Además, expone que en los últimos meses “la mayoría de personas migrantes y refugiados que llegan son personas solas o familias monomarentales de Sudamérica”.

Tanto Mariam como Vlodomir forman parte de un programa de asilo de la Plataforma de Acción Social Diaconía, ubicado en la localidad toledana de Seseña, que posibilita la inclusión de las personas refugiadas en la sociedad y, que en este caso, les están enseñando español.

Patricia Cerrada, profesora de castellano de esta plataforma nos cuenta que actualmente tiene un grupo de seis personas de diferentes edades con los que desarrolla varias actividades para aprender nuestro idioma: “Aprender nuestra lengua es lo más importante para ellos, ya que eso les va a dar acceso a tener un empleo, tener una vivienda o poder seguir estudiando”, explica. Se trata de clases “muy personalizadas, es muy íntimo y cómodo para ellos, porque lo hacemos en un salón, tomamos un café o merendamos. Tenemos personas de muchas nacionalidades y este entorno les ayuda a apoyarse los unos con los otros”.
