Justice for Eleazar Blandón
Regularization now!
We reproduce the call made in Navarra.
Eleazar Blandón Herrera was a recently arrived immigrant without registration and applicant for political asylum, in his country he left behind the fear of reprisals for having participated in the civic uprising against the Daniel Ortega regime in 2018 and he also left his four children and a pregnant wife. In the name of a more dignified future for your family, Eleazar endured mistreatment and labor abuses by his boss in the agricultural exploitation of Murcía, although it is not an exceptional situation or an isolated case among the migrant community that works in the Spanish fields.
Nevertheless, that 01 In August, the Nicaraguan's working day lasted from seven in the morning until 14 hours and then went on to harvest melons on an adjacent farm, that day Eleazar collapsed in full harvesting work. The day laborer Eleazar Blandón was abandoned at the entrance of a health center, When the nurses arrived they found him without a pulse and in cardiorespiratory arrest, and tested negative for Covid-19 later he entered the Rafael Méndez hospital in a coma and with lividity in his limbs, as indicated by sources of the investigation, he was subjected to a heart massage without results for forty minutes. That Saturday his family relived the drama of four years ago when the Nicaraguan's father died of a heart attack while working in the fields, in Texas, U.S.
Days before his death, Blandón had decided to tell his family in Nicaragua about the labor exploitation he was suffering from his boss in Lorca, Murcía; the Nicaraguan cried when he told them that his boss called them worthless donkeys, They did not give them permission to urinate or rest in the shade and that they did not pay them as agreed. Given the situation, his family had gotten him the air ticket to return to Nicaragua on 23 October; his mother still has the photograph they took together at the Managua airport, her son's dreams and the promise that they would see each other again very soon. In Spain there are many and many Eleazar, many invisible faces of temporary workers who, due to being in an irregular situation, accept any job offer and then be mistreated, scammed and enslaved. While we comfortably buy watermelons and fruits in the supermarket, how many more Eleazars will it take for the lives of immigrants without papers in Spain to have value??
