Agriculture Ministry Grants Andino Authorization to Run Border Control Point at Barajas, Reports Demócrata

Spain’s Agriculture Ministry has given Andino permission to manage a border control facility. The authorized point is located at Barajas, the country’s main international airport. Demócrata notes that the decision expands Andino’s operational scope beyond its usual duties. The move is intended to enhance security and streamline customs procedures. Officials say the partnership will coordinate with existing immigration authorities. The authorization includes compliance with agricultural and sanitary regulations. Critics have raised questions about the private entity’s role in border management. Implementation will begin after final contractual arrangements are completed.
