Colau justified her proposal by saying, "We have a sea that is filled with dead. Boundaries that are filled with wires, spikes, blades...and dead. And part of Europe cries, screams, wants them to be saved, doesn't want them to die, but doesn't want them to come, wants them to leave, to disappear, not to exist, so that we don't have to watch them on TV, or even worse, in our streets, with their blankets, in the subway, or on our doorsteps."
