Desalojada una residencia universitaria para alojar a los inmigr.. A grand gesture by Madrid to accept migrants rejected by Italy and Malta has backfired on some Spanish students, who were told to leave their dormitories in 24 hours to make room for the new arrivals. Pedro Sanchez, Spain’s newly appointed prime minister, agreed to take in passengers of the rescue ship Aquarius, who are mostly from sub-Saharan Africa, after Italy’s anti-immigration government and Malta blocked the ship from docking. But the arrival of the ship brought chaos into the lives of Spanish students in the city of Alicante, who were told to leave their dormitory to make room for the refugees. The La Florida dormitory was chosen by the regional government of Valencia to host around a hundred unaccompanied children from the Aquarius. The children, aged between 12 and 17, were brought to the city by buses after the ship and two Italian vessels, which helped transport the refugees, arrived in Spain on Sunday. The students, who reportedly pay as much as 750 euros per month for the accommodations, were told to vacate the rooms within 24 hours. The authorities explained that the eviction was necessary due to an emergency situation caused by the arrival of the migrants, reported the news portal Intereconomia. The mother of one of the students told the network that her son was told that all students had to leave La Florida because the migrant children were likely to have “many diseases” and posed a health risk. The sudden development was reportedly not welcomed by many of those affected. “We’re not against helping those in need, but it isn’t fair for my son to be removed from his residence and left on the street in the middle of his studies,” the woman said, adding that her son needed to complete his course in German in order to qualify for a new job in that country. The regional government told RT it will ensure that all displaced students are provided new accommodations and that the province would cover their expenses.

The regional government told RT it will ensure that all displaced students are provided new accommodations and that the province would cover their expenses. Couldnt they have done this for the migrants instead?

Isn't RT a mistrusted source?

Could be the health risks mentioned. There might be individual apartments around town they can use, but they needed an entire building.

Are they migrants or asylum seekers? It's a pretty important distinction

It's literally propaganda. https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/133737/7a14510f-84fa-45a4-9ce5-39c8d4b243de/image.png

Well fuck I didn't know that I don't follow politic stuff at all so no idea what sources to trust when it comes to political things

Guidelines are available in the sticky at the top of the Polidicks forum, which you probably should've read already.

My hint is that if a news title makes you angry, double check through it

Bad source as it is, everything written on it checks out with the spanish articles. And I've found more that seem to validate what the article says: https://www.diarioinformacion.com/alicante/2018/06/19/pruebas-oseas-determinar-edad-60/2034154.html http://es.euronews.com/2018/06/20/una-residencia-espanola-reubica-a-estudiantes-para-alojar-pasajeros-del-aquarius https://www.actualidadvaldepenas.com/articulo/sociedad/valdepenero-companeros-residencia-estudiantes-alicante-obligados-dejarla-meter-migrantes-aquarius/20180617112342130818.html

Ugh, RT and Interconomia ( a extreme far-right Spanish media ), literally the worst sources that one could have picked here. I would just stick to the Euronews source as the other two from Coment tends to be either sensationalistic or unreliable:

This is why RT shouldn't ever be allowed as a source. Why was this rule changed?

It happened with the Newpunch move, a LOT of things were struck from the rules then. I think we should petition to have this rule reinstated.

Is this issue really that prevalent? It just occured to me that I posted some World Cup related news a few days back from Sputnik/TASS, that I couldn't find elsewhere. Of course I'd never post anything political from those places, but there can be occurences when sources like these could be ok-ish. Besides, you cant really comprehensively list bad sources either. iirc hat was the primary reason the rule has changed.

I'm honestly way happier with it this way than with mediabiasfactcheck, a website run by some dude (tm) deciding what's real news and what isn't.

idk, mediabiasfactcheck has a pretty good track record imo.
