SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, Nov. 11 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Cabildo de Tenerife has established, through the delegated areas of Foreign Action and Citizen Participation and Diversity, the Insular Table of the Saharawi People, which was born as an institutional body to support the associative fabric of the Saharawi population on the island.
This week the constitutive session of this space was held. The CEO of Citizen Participation and Diversity, Nauzet Gugliotta, indicated that “this is the first step to be able to start working now on the development of its operating guidelines”.
“The table was born with the aim of serving people of this origin and their families on the island, knowing the reality in which they find themselves, as well as sharing and working on proposals on the issues and problems that affect them,” explained the councilor delegate who pointed out that “our goal is to agree on actions and make participation real and effective”.
In addition, he recalled that it has been established in compliance with a motion presented by the Sí Podemos Canarias group of the Cabildo de Tenerife, through the councilor María José Belda, and that it will be represented by the political groups of the Island Corporation and the associations and representative entities of the Saharawi population residing on the island. The CEO expressed that the idea is to facilitate a meeting space so that they can express their needs and proposals.
“There are several actions in which the Cabildo collaborates with the associations that represent the group on the island, such as the Holidays for Peace program, of the Canary Association of Friendship for the Saharawi People, which allows children and Saharawi girls from the refugee camps of Tindouf, in Algeria, get out of the extreme heat conditions in the desert during the summer months and enjoy the summer on the island. We also collaborate with this association in an emergency humanitarian aid project” , he added.
Currently there are several entities belonging to the Saharawi people that are linked to the Tenerife Solidarity Island program, dependent on Sinpromi, such as the Canarian Association of Friendship with the Saharawi People; For the freedom of the Saharawi people and the Sahara-Canary Islands La Concordia, through whose services advises, informs and derives in the management and processing of resources for both entities and migrants.
