VALVERDE (EL HIERRO), September 24 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The president of the Canary Islands, Fernando Clavijo, has stated that the most painful thing is that the State “looks the other way” in the face of the migratory surge that the archipelago has experienced in recent weeks and has warned that the forecast is that this phenomenon will continue. more in the coming months.
In statements to the media on the occasion of his attendance at the festivities in honor of the Virgin of Los Reyes, in El Hierro, he indicated that “it is sad” that the Government of the Canary Islands, the NGOs and the security forces have been warning about this rebound and that the State has not acted as the regional Executive expected.
In this way, Clavijo criticized that the central government has not provided the necessary resources or that it has not agreed in El Hierro with the Red Cross for medical care, which has meant that the island’s medical services are “oversaturated.” “In short, they look the other way. What hurts you the most is that they look the other way,” he stressed.
“On the one hand because they are people looking for a better future and on the other hand because it is unfair that the Canary Islands, and especially an island like El Hierro, have to endure all this pressure alone,” he concluded.
