Nicaraguans seeking refuge in Costa Rica saturated the headquarters of Migration and Immigration Monday morning.
More than 4,000 people lined up in the place to get an appointment that allows them to start the process; however, per week the authorities only can do about 1,000.

Daguer Hernández, director a. i. of the institution, said that not all foreigners who make the request are candidates for refuge, so each case is sent to a commission that analyzes them and determines whether or not to grant asylum.

"Last week of the 1,000 who made the request, 50% did not qualify for refuge," said the director.

Hernández added that Mondays are the only day of the week in which the appointments are given and mentioned that despite the fact that 3,000 foreigners arrived more than expected, all will be looked after.
"From 7 a.m. began to attend and at 9 a.m. we had about 500 attended," he said.

Among the people who were in line this Monday was Morelia Sossa, who came from Matagalpa, Nicaragua, two months ago to work, taking into account that she has a daughter to support.
"I came here because of the situation, in Matagalpa things are dangerous and my mother told me to come in line," said Sossa.
