Maritime Rescue crew member Manuel Capa strolls through the port of Ibiza during a break from his shift. The sailor contemplates a spectacle of Ferraris and other luxury cars parading by to the applause of the crowd. Like the rest, he takes out his cell phone to record one, driven by a driver wearing a futuristic helmet. Minutes later, he's called to carry out a rescue: a boat with about fifteen men, frightened and without enough life jackets. The rescuers urge them to remain calm and not crowd together, otherwise the boat could capsize. "Great wealth is secure, and poverty risks life at the same time and in the same place," reflects Capa, who is a CGT union delegate. Emotionally integrating these two realities is difficult for him.

Maritime Rescue rescued 11 migrants with symptoms of dehydration this Friday, four of them in serious condition, who were adrift on a boat 35 miles southeast of Menorca.

The group Caminando Fronteras has reported the disappearance of another boat with 25 people on board, which left the Algerian coast last Sunday heading for the Balearic Islands.
