Ignatian support for the appeal.

The Jesuits in Spain, along with its institutions, joined this petition signed by 430 Spanish organizations working for human rights, migration and refuge, in support of the appeal “Do not die of cold ". The appeal requests an European urgent response to protect people on the borders this winter. More than 100 institutions of the Ignatian family have been part of these 430 organization list, some of them social institutions, educational and pastoral centers, lay communities, youth centers, parishes and several university centers.

The last images of thousands of refugees enduring the current wave of polar cold without a roof, as well as freezing and death of several of them, have prompted these organizations to request to the European Commission and to the Spanish Government an effective operation that provides the necessary emergency measures in order to guarantee the minimum conditions for these people.
