The controversy over the management of the migration crisis in the Canary Islands remains on the table, while the cayucos keep coming to the coasts of the islands. The last boat that crossed the Canary Islands Route was rescued in the waters of Gran Canaria with 32 people on board.
This morning, the health system of the Primary Care Emergency Service of the Canary Islands and the Red Cross was activated at the Arguineguín dock for the 32 migrants, without minors.
Rescuers located the boat in waters near Gran Canaria and it was not necessary to transfer it to hospital as everyone was transported. good condition general.
The dispute is hardening with the president of the Canary Islands, Fernando Clavijo, who defends his position and stresses that it is necessary respect the protocols that the State itself has signed. As he pointed out, the Spanish government ensures the custody and care of unaccompanied minors, since it is the State’s resources that rescue them and take them to the port. The Canary Islands government will provide them with immediate assistance, but its reception resources have “collapsed” and it has ordered NGOs not to receive minors without prior authorization.
In an interview with Telecinco’s “The Critical View”, he stressed that this situation had been warned of for “more than a year” and that “the patience of the Canarian people had to end” at some point.
He denounced that “the State hands over the minors to us as if they were crates of oranges”, leaving them to the NGOs with a “delivery note”.
This is why he maintains his decision that the legal services analyze the situation and open legal proceedings against the Government because “the State does not respect the protocol” by handing over the minors “without fingerprints, without photographs, without identity documents.”
