Spain: News article from the port of Barcelona where journalist Leo Gleizer comments: "The ship Cabo San Vicente is already entering the port of Barcelona. The journey is coming to an end. The excitement is taking hold of the thousands and thousands of people who have gathered here to welcome these emigrants who, after so many years, are finally returning. This is the port of Barcelona, ​​the gateway to Spain. Thousands and thousands of people have gathered here to wait for their families, their friends, their loved ones, those people who left for America more than 25 years ago, to conquer it, to discover it, to work it. There are still more than three hours until the ships arrive at this port, and look again. Our camera will show all these people who are waiting here. Step by step, we will continue to show, recounting everything that happens here." An interview with a woman, in which she is asked: "Who are you waiting for?" (Answer: To a cousin from Buenos Aires) "How many years have you not seen her? Most of these people don't know their relatives; they've left this, their homeland, 25, 30, 40, 50 years ago. Government authorities, headed by the Minister of Labor, are about to climb aboard the ship. Thousands and thousands of people who don't know their relatives, who don't know those loved ones they're waiting for, but who want to see them, want to touch them, want to kiss them, and the same thing is happening up above. They'd like to go down, not down the stairs, to jump. This is unparalleled. This is the situation we're experiencing here in the port of Barcelona, ​​the emotion we're experiencing with you. There are many people here who aren't really waiting for anyone, who, as they themselves say, are experiencing this emotion; they want to experience a reunion with their compatriots, with the people who are returning. The first emigrants are already disembarking the ship, the first emigrants are touching Spanish soil. Interview with a woman, in which she is asked: - How old are you?
