The Canarian president, Fernando Clavijo He specified this Friday that yes Canary Islands does not obtain “in two weeks” responses from the Spanish Government and the PP that contribute to alleviating the migration crisis experienced by your regional Administration “will make their own decisions”.
After visiting the La Isleta senior center, in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Clavijo assured that the PP “has not officially communicated that it is not going to sit again” at the table where the Canary Islands negotiated with them and with the central government. a mechanism that allows the 6,000 migrant minors to be distributed among all Spanish autonomies unaccompanied that currently protects the archipelago.
“I am hoping that next week we can clarify with the vice president Maria Jesus Montero some terms about financing and, from there, the Canary Islands will make their own decisions, depending on what happens“, he assured. The Canarian president has stressed that “too much time has passed. This Thursday almost 500 people arrived and, in the end, this becomes normalized and the statements of some and others seem not to be aimed at solving the Canary Islands problem and, due to the politics of the facts, the Canary Islands are becoming the southern europe prison“for all these boys and girls.
“These minors They don’t deserve it, neither do the canaries, Neither bearing all this pressure alone, nor the financial burden, nor being able to give dignity to the treatment with which we have to care for them, can they be our children. I hope that common sense makes the PP sit at that table, that the Government of Spain stops looking the other way and ignores this humanitarian drama, but, if that does not happen, the Canary Islands will have to make decisions, which I will report on. with total transparency and frankness to the media,” he said.
In any case, Clavijo “continues to appeal to common sense, the sense of State and the human dignity that people who occupy positions of responsibility must have, both in the opposition and in the government.” Regarding your proposal repatriate to Morocco and Senegal to unaccompanied foreign minors who arrive to the islands in boats and cayucos, the Canary Islands president has stressed that he is not talking about instant returns”, but rather about applying the Law on the free movement of foreigners, which establishes that communities can make an agreement with the countries of origin to be able to serve them.
“It does not mean that the minor is returned and left there, but that it will be attended by the Government of the Canary Islands in their country of originwhere they have roots, language and can be closer to their environment, always thinking about the best interests of the minor, guardianship will continue to be the Canary Islands Government until a judge determines anything else,” he argued.
In his opinion, “they are trying to play in an inelegant way. We are not talking about hot returnssomething that the Government of Ceuta did Pedro Sanchez“We are not talking about abandoning minors to their fate, something that is happening in the Canary Islands and that their government is having to assume, we are talking about being able to care for these minors with dignity.” Clavijo has regretted that many of the children arriving in boats and cayucos to the islands are not schooled and that the pace at which they are arriving “is forcing us to have to move from one place to another”, some children who have already “suffered uprooting and a via crucis to get here.”
“Since our resources are full and we have no more, we have to end up moving them from one place to another, subjecting them to yet another uprooting, I don’t know how to explain it and here it seems that everyone is talking, giving their opinion, but no one assumes their responsibilitiesand that seems unworthy to me and sometimes frustrates me, but it also angers me, they are not objects or boxes of apples that we change from one store to another,” he stated.
