Cuban migrants moved to holding camp
OVER 400 CUBAN migrants who will be housed at Camp Planess de Gualaca, in the northern part of Chiriqui were transferred under heavy guard from San Isidro in Bugaba, near Paso Canoas, in the early hours of Friday morning, April 22.
They were transported in 11 buses of the Panama Fire Service and the National Police
They will remain in limbo at the camp until the end of the immigration crises in Central America and Panama.
Cubans reached by TVN said they were unhappy with the move, because the site is away from shopping centers and they will find it hard to make contact with their families in Miami and Cuba, so they hope the move will be a transitional step.
Security agencies and the National Civil Protection System (Sinaproc) denied media entry to the place where they would be housed to see if conditions and hygienic facilities, for their stay.
It is expected that in the coming hours the transfer of up to a thousand Cuban will take place according to SINAPROC director Jose Donderis,
