The decision follows an appeal filed by the Unified Police Union (SUP), which requested emergency interim measures and the immediate suspension of the camp's installation and operation.
The Administrative Litigation Chamber of Spain's National Court has asked the Ministry of Transport to submit the order dated September 5 that authorized the use of port land, along with the rest of the documentation included in the administrative file.
Until that documentation has been reviewed and a decision is reached on the urgent interim measure requested by the police union, the court has warned the department headed by Óscar Puente that the resolution cannot be implemented.
The SUP's appeal raises doubts about the suitability of the land selected for the facilities and calls for proof, before they become operational, that the requirements for port compatibility, protection, emergency response and occupational risk prevention have been met.
The National Court's intervention thus puts on hold, at least temporarily, an operation the government had prepared to carry out imminently, involving the provision of accommodation for around 1,700 people.
The government, for its part, maintains that the port land is the most suitable location for the operation and that it has the necessary safety guarantees. It also argues that the operation was designed according to humanitarian and public-order criteria.
