Ha dormido en un colch\u00f3n a la intemperie pues en la peque\u00f1a barraca que su colega Mohamed construy\u00f3 para pasar inadvertida no caben los dos. Desde su parcela se avistan humaredas en los campos frutales de Aitona cercanos al r\u00edo Segre a las 7 de la ma\u00f1ana. Dos familias rumanas emparentadas se protegen quemando citronela para ahuyentar a los mosquitos, en su d\u00e9cimo a\u00f1o recolectando fruta. En la vecina Torres de Segre, Thiam se ajusta una redecilla por encima de la gorra y la mascarilla. Reconocido como refugiado hace dos a\u00f1os, comenz\u00f3 a trabajar en 2019 gracias a la recomendaci\u00f3n de un paisano. \u00c9l es la excepci\u00f3n entre sus compa\u00f1eros, temporeros veteranos del Segri\u00e0 entre 7 y 10 a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n<p>La campa\u00f1a del 2020 viene marcada por la pandemia. El Segri\u00e0 se da a conocer en el mundo por los rebrotes del virus. La alarma social se expande. El 12 de julio se decreta confinamiento total en la ciudad de Lleida y en 7 poblaciones de la comarca, permitiendo \u00fanicamente el libre movimiento para aquellos que forzosamente tengan que trabajar fuera. El fantasma del contagio del Covid-19 est\u00e1 demasiado presente.<\/p>\n<p>El llamamiento que hizo la Uni\u00f3 de Pagesos en el mes de abril ha atra\u00eddo a personas de toda condici\u00f3n del Estado Espa\u00f1ol. Manuel, de nacionalidad espa\u00f1ola, decidi\u00f3 abandonar a finales de abril el pabell\u00f3n de la Fira de Montjuic en Barcelona, habilitado por la pandemia para acoger a las personas sin hogar. Durante semanas visita todas las empresas frut\u00edcolas en la zona de Ser\u00f3s, Soses y Aitona. Recibe una oferta de contrataci\u00f3n a partir de julio, pero todo se queda finalmente en tres jornadas espor\u00e1dicas. Su colega Mohamed, tambi\u00e9n de la Fira, tiene m\u00e1s suerte. La experiencia previa como jornalero le ayuda; el permiso de trabajo tambi\u00e9n. Lo contratan para 4 meses, a 6,3 euros la hora. Sin opci\u00f3n de alojamiento decide construirse una barraca en un lugar oculto cercano a unos campos, que comparte con Manuel durante un tiempo.<\/p>\n<p>La granizada del 16 de junio destroza la fruta de m\u00faltiples explotaciones que se ven obligadas a renunciar a la campa\u00f1a, acudiendo al seguro agrario para poder compensar las p\u00e9rdidas. Muchos contratos de mano de obra no llegan a prosperar, o se resciden antes de tiempo. Las expectativas marcadas al inicio de la temporada quedan frustradas tanto por la propagaci\u00f3n del virus, como por la inesperada tormenta de granizo.\u00a0 Se suma la presi\u00f3n medi\u00e1tica que amenaza las posibilidades de distribuci\u00f3n de la fruta recolectada. \u00abHemos tenido que reetiquetar la fruta con origen Francia, porque el Segri\u00e0 ahora no vende con tan mala prensa\u00bb confiesa un joven pay\u00e9s que prefiere permanecer en el anonimato. \u00abNo es la primera vez que se hace\u00bb revela otro pay\u00e9s que recuerda que en la reciente crisis con Rusia se lleg\u00f3 a etiquetar la fruta del Segri\u00e0 con origen Rusia para que alcanzase a dicho pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n<p>Una imagen extra\u00f1a ofrece la ciudad de Lleida, vac\u00eda y silenciosa, confinada a finales de Julio. La excepci\u00f3n se encuentra en la conocida \u00abplaza de los Africanos\u00bb en el casco hist\u00f3rico, donde se hacinan d\u00eda y noche subsaharianos a la espera de un trabajo, aunque sea eventual. \u00abAlgunos payeses pasan por aqu\u00ed a horas determinadas y nos ofrecen trabajo para el d\u00eda siguiente\u00bb, comenta el joven Ousmane de 18 a\u00f1os que vino a Lleida desde el Pa\u00eds Vasco. No es el \u00fanico. Al\u00ed vino desde Italia en coche. Reconoce a\u00fan sorprendido que no tuvo ning\u00fan problema para cruzar fronteras por carretera. \u00abAqu\u00ed no hay trabajo\u00bb comenta Lamine, que duerme todas la noches desde hace dos meses en las proximidades de la plaza. Varios carteles colgados en el balc\u00f3n de un bloque de pisos reclaman \u00abSilencio! temporeros durmiendo\u00bb, porque desde el inicio de la temporada decenas de africanos duermen en estas calles. El futbolista del M\u00f3naco Keita Bald\u00e9, de origen senegal\u00e9s, conmovido por la situaci\u00f3n de sus compatriotas decidi\u00f3 socorrerlos reabriendo el Casal de Joves cercano que se cerr\u00f3 por el decreto de alarma el 14 de marzo, para ofrecer hasta 200 men\u00fas diarios durante 3 meses, entre otras acciones.<\/p>\n<p>Thiam huy\u00f3 del ignorado conflicto en Casamance, Senegal. Su pueblo hace frontera con esta regi\u00f3n, donde un movimiento independentista promueve la separaci\u00f3n de Senegal y las incursiones son constantes. Entre los compa\u00f1eros con los que recolecta a diario, no fue el \u00fanico que huy\u00f3 de Senegal. Ngourou era profesor de wolof en su pueblo, adem\u00e1s de campesino. En 2005 llega a Espa\u00f1a en patera. \u00abArriesgar la vida en el mar para poder salvarla\u00bb, rememora cuando evoca la gran decisi\u00f3n de su vida. Vive en un piso compartido que le alquila el pay\u00e9s que le contrata por 100 euros mensuales. Son muchos los payeses que ofrecen alojamiento a sus trabajadores, desde pisos compartidos, antiguas casas payesas, barracones, almacenes y casetas&#8230; Este a\u00f1o a Abdel, de origen marroqu\u00ed, le ha tocado vivir en una barraca que comparte con otro compatriota a coste cero. No tiene ni agua ni luz, pero est\u00e1 contento porque trabaja. Es algo excepcional debido a la pandemia. Los a\u00f1os anteriores compart\u00eda piso con otros nueve jornaleros pero este a\u00f1o, a fin de preservar cierta distancia en el interior de la vivienda, el pay\u00e9s lo ha reubicado.<\/p>\n<p>El 30 de julio se levanta el confinamiento en Lleida. Manuel, que se hab\u00eda instalado en las inmediaciones de la estaci\u00f3n de tren, pernoctando con otro excompa\u00f1ero de la Fira, regresa a Barcelona. Algunos temporeros apuran sus \u00faltimos d\u00edas antes de moverse a otra regi\u00f3n, pues varios payeses dan por finalizada la temporada a mitad de agosto. El coronavirus hace tiempo que ha traspasado la frontera de la Franja de Ponent en direcci\u00f3n a otras regiones.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3057 alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/www.evaparey.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/CM4_0423-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.evaparey.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/CM4_0423-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.evaparey.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/CM4_0423-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.evaparey.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/CM4_0423-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.evaparey.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/CM4_0423-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.evaparey.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/CM4_0423-2-700x467.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Manuel se prepara para salir a buscar trabajo como jornalero. \/\/ <span lang=\"EN-GB\">Manuel gets up with the intention of looking for work as a day labourer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3035 alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/www.evaparey.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Segria_Nomads_x_EvaParey_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.evaparey.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Segria_Nomads_x_EvaParey_2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.evaparey.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Segria_Nomads_x_EvaParey_2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.evaparey.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Segria_Nomads_x_EvaParey_2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.evaparey.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Segria_Nomads_x_EvaParey_2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.evaparey.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Segria_Nomads_x_EvaParey_2-700x467.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Un grupo de jornaleros son trasladados a su alojamiento despu\u00e9s de una jornada de trabajo en las tierras del Segri\u00e1. \/\/ A group of day labourers are transferred to their accomodation after a working day in the Segri\u00e0 lands.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3033 alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/www.evaparey.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Segria_Nomads_x_EvaParey_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.evaparey.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Segria_Nomads_x_EvaParey_3.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.evaparey.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Segria_Nomads_x_EvaParey_3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.evaparey.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Segria_Nomads_x_EvaParey_3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.evaparey.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Segria_Nomads_x_EvaParey_3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.evaparey.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Segria_Nomads_x_EvaParey_3-700x467.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Una jornalera rumana con 10 a\u00f1os de experiencia en el Segri\u00e0 recoge melocotones en un campo pr\u00f2ximo al r\u00edo Segre. \u00a0\/\/ A Romanian day laborer with 10 years of experience in the Segri\u00e0 collects peaches in a field near the Segre river.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2993 alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/www.evaparey.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Segria_Nomads_x_EvaParey_04.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.evaparey.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Segria_Nomads_x_EvaParey_04.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.evaparey.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Segria_Nomads_x_EvaParey_04-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.evaparey.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Segria_Nomads_x_EvaParey_04-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.evaparey.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Segria_Nomads_x_EvaParey_04-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.evaparey.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Segria_Nomads_x_EvaParey_04-700x467.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Campos\u00a0 de \u00e1rboles frutales en el Segri\u00e1.

He has slept on a mattress out in the open because there is no room for two in the small hidden shack that his colleague Mohamed built. From his plot smoke can be seen coming from the Aiton fruit fields near the Segre river at 7am. Two related Romanian families protect themselves by burning citronella to ward off mosquitoes \u2013 this is their tenth year picking fruit. In neighbouring Torres de Segre, Thiam adjusts a net over his cap and face mask. Recognised as a refugee two years ago, he began working in 2019 thanks to the recommendation of a fellow countryman. He is the exception among his companions, all veteran temporary workers from Segri\u00e0 who have been working for periods of between 7 and 10 years.<\/p>\n<p>The 2020 season is marked by the pandemic: the Segri\u00e0 region enters the news cycle across the world due to its virus outbreak. Social unrest ensues. On 12 July, total confinement is decreed in the city of Lleida and in seven towns in the region, allowing free movement only to those who are required to work abroad. The ghost of COVID-19 contagion is still all too present.<\/p>\n<p>The appeal made by the <em>Uni\u00f3 de Pagesos\u00a0<\/em>(Farmers\u2019 Union) in April has attracted people from all walks of life across Spain. Manuel, a Spanish national, decided to leave Barcelona\u2019s Fira de Montju\u00efc pavilion at the end of April, a facility set up to offer shelter to the homeless during the pandemic. He spends weeks visiting all the fruit companies in the Ser\u00f3s, Soses and Aitona area. He finally receives an offer of employment starting in July, which ends up being three sporadic days. His colleague Mohamed, also from the Fira, is a little luckier. His previous experience as a day labourer helped, as did his work permit. He is hired for four months, at \u20ac6.30 per hour. With no accommodation option, he decides to build a shack in an undisclosed location near some fields, which he shares with Manuel temporarily.<\/p>\n<p>The hailstorm of 16 June destroys the harvest from multiple farms, forcing them to suspend the season and resort to agricultural insurance to compensate for the losses. Many labour contracts fail or are terminated early. Expectations set at the beginning of the season are frustrated both by the spread of the virus and by the unforeseen hailstorm. Media pressure that threatens the possibilities of distribution of the harvested fruit is also a burden. \u201cWe\u2019ve had to relabel the fruit as though it originated in France, because a Segri\u00e0 origin doesn\u2019t sell at the moment, with such bad press,\u201d confesses a young farmer who prefers to remain anonymous. \u201cAnd it\u2019s not the first time we\u2019ve had to do this,\u201d reveals another farmer, who recalls that in the recent crisis with Russia, fruit from Segri\u00e0 had to be labelled as though it originated in Russia so that it could be sold there.<\/p>\n<p>The city of Lleida, in lockdown since the end of July, is a strange, empty, silent ghost town. The exception is the well-known \u201cPlaza de los Africanos,\u201d in the city\u2019s historic city, where sub-Saharan Africans meet in crowds day and night seeking work, even if it\u2019s temporary. \u201cSome farmers pass through here at certain times and offer work for the following day,\u201d says 18-year-old Ousmane, who came to Lleida from the Basque Country. He\u2019s not alone. Al\u00ed drove here from Italy. He admits, still surprised, that he encountered no issues crossing borders by road. \u201cThere\u2019s no work here,\u201d complains Lamine, who has spent the last two months sleeping in the vicinity of the square. Several posters hang on the balcony of a block of flats: \u201cSilence! Temporary workers sleeping\u201d \u2013 dozens of Africans have been sleeping out on the streets since the beginning of the season. Monaco footballer Keita Bald\u00e9, of Senegalese origin, moved by his fellow countrymen\u2019s ordeal, decided to help them by reopening the nearby <em>Casal de Joves\u00a0<\/em>(youth centre), which was closed by the state of emergency decree on 14 March, to offer up to 200 food packages a day for a period of three months, among other initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>Thiam fled the ignored conflict in Casamance, Senegal. His town borders this region, where an independence movement promotes the separation of Senegal and military raids are constant. Among the companions he picks fruit with on a daily basis, he\u2019s not the only one to have fled his native country. Ngourou was a Wolof teacher in his own village, as well as a farmer. He arrived in Spain by boat in 2005. \u201cTo save my life, I had to risk it at sea,\u201d he recalls, evoking the most important decision of his life. He lives in a shared flat rented from the farmer who hires him for \u20ac100 a month. Many farmers offer accommodation to their workers, including shared flats, old farmhouses, shacks, warehouses, huts&#8230; This year Abdel, of Moroccan origin, has had to live in a shack shared with another Moroccan worker, at no cost. They live without electricity nor running water, but he\u2019s happy because he is working. This is an exceptional situation brought about by the pandemic: in previous years he shared a flat with nine other labourers, but this year the farmer decided to relocate him, to maintain social distancing inside the accommodation.<\/p>\n<p>On 30 July, lockdown is lifted in Lleida. Manuel, who had settled near the train station together with a former colleague from the Fira, returns to Barcelona. Some seasonal workers stay a few more nights before moving to another region, as several farmers end the season in mid-August. Coronavirus has long since crossed the Western Strip, headed towards other regions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.evaparey.com\/web\/opera-del-confinamiento-en-la-calle\/\">&lt;&lt; Previous post<\/a> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.evaparey.com\/web\/peligro-calle-pandemia\/\">Next post &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/h3>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.evaparey.com\/web\/blog_confines_sociedad\/\"><span style=\"color: #ffcc00;\">Other posts of the\u00a0Blog \u00abThe confines of society\u00bb<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffcc00;\"><em>This documentary project is possible thanks to the COVID-19 fund of the European Journalism Centre.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manuel se acicala temprano con la intenci\u00f3n de buscar trabajo como jornalero un d\u00eda m\u00e1s.
