Campos (NC-BC) calls the Conference of Presidents an “absolute failure” and the PSOE charges against the submission of CC to the PP
SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, 17 (EUROPA PRESS)
The president of the Government of the Canary Islands, Fernando Clavijo, stated this Tuesday that “nothing” was achieved at the Conference of Presidents held last Friday in Santander, which is why he is keeping the Junts path open to approve a decree law that would alleviate the reception of unaccompanied migrant minors.
In the control session of the Plenary of Parliament he recognized that Junts “does not support” the modification of article 35 of the immigration law because “they are independentists” and do not want interference from the State but they are in favor of the decree with a “punctual distribution “which will allow “removing pressure” from the Canary Islands and Ceuta. “We are going to knock on all the doors,” he said.
Clavijo has insisted that the conference was a “missed opportunity” although he has pointed out that his Government went with its “task done” and presented a document, agreed upon with the Government of Euskadi with a distribution of minors although it was only distributed in the session and no vote was even taken.
The president has reduced the Conference of Presidents “to a photo” given that there was no exchange of documents or any agreement and he has asked himself “why” he has to speak with the Lehendakari, Imanol Pradales or with Junts, a function that is the responsibility of the central government .
He also announced that this Tuesday he sent the draft decree prepared by his Government to the Minister of Territorial Policy, Ángel Víctor Torres, and ironically stated that he would be made “minister for a day” to move the text forward.
He has even said, in a joking tone, that he could sue the central government for “illegal transfer” of workers given that he is carrying out a function that does not concern him.
He has criticized the “meanness” of the socialists because they do not prepare the decree, they do not transfer the money committed to caring for the minors and “they do not post a single tweet” after the death of six migrants in the waters of El Hierro. “Help if you want, and if not, don’t get in the way,” he told the socialist spokesman, Sebastián Franquis.
The Canary Islands president has also said that he still “does not understand” that when minors are rescued on the high seas “they arrive in Spain” and there must be an “act of delivery” that, in the opinion of his Executive, can be done to any community. autonomous. “It does not mean that they have to stay in the Canary Islands, it is up to the State,” he said.
He has commented that the Government can make the allocation “on its own initiative” but “to avoid controversies” it is better to give it the status of law, which is what is being negotiated these days with Junts.
“The communities will later be able to appeal it or not, but they have to comply with it,” he indicated, giving as an example the agreements adopted at the sectoral conference on Children that are later not fulfilled because the communities demand “specific profiles” or allude to the fact that “they are saturated.”
“Either there is an automatic mechanism or it will be difficult for us to get them treated with dignity,” he stressed.
Clavijo has taken advantage of the control session to charge against Vox, which in the “height of cynicism” says that it defends the Canary Islands and then threatens in five autonomous communities to “knock down budgets” if more migrant minors are welcomed.
“I like him, I even like him, but stop reading the arguments, he’s making a fool of himself,” he said.
IN FAVOR OF THE MODIFICATION OF THE LAND LAW
Regarding the rest of the agreements of the Conference of Presidents, he has been in favor of modifying the land law to “democratize” its use, increasing the skills of nurses in the face of the shortage of doctors, or that the Canary Islands will not ” allow” the REF to be “mixed” with regional financing.
Raúl Acosta, spokesman for the Mixed Group (AHI), commented that “few” had “real confidence” in the conference and in the end “no progress was made” on any of the pending issues and even, in the case of migrant minors, “there was went deeper into abandonment and monolithic blocks”. “Talking to PSOE and PP is like talking to stone,” he commented.
In his opinion, “solutions and real solidarity are lacking, good dialogue alone is not enough,” especially when migrants arrive in the Canary Islands and El Hierro “by the hundreds and thousands and they continue to die.”
Luis Campos, spokesperson for NC-BC, has indicated that the conference was an “absolute failure”, that in the specific case of minors, the PP is more to blame than the PSOE.
He has said that he views the agreement signed between the Canary Islands and the Basque Country “with good eyes” but has assumed that “it was not going to go ahead either” because the PP communities “would vote no”, while at the same time he has expressed his surprise that those who call “the miserable ones” — in reference to Junts — “will be part of the solution” against those who present themselves as a “state party” and in the end “put partisan interests first.” “Let them do it how they do it, but let them do it,” he stressed.
Nicasio Galván (Vox) called the Conference of Presidents “paripé” and “whitewashing of Sánchez and his partners” and claimed that immigration “must be legal”, in accordance with the labor reality and with a desire for integration, accompanied by the “expulsion “of the irregular and the collaboration with Frontex. “The rest are patches,” he noted.
The president of the Nationalist Group, David Toledo, agreed with Clavijo that the conference “was a missed opportunity”, something that “boiled the blood” of his group because the proposal closed with the Basque Government was not even voted on.
He has indicated that the Canary Islands “is the victim of an unbearable political battle” between PSOE and PP in which the archipelago is not helped and for the first time article 2 of the Constitution is not applied. “It is irresponsible,” he added.
FRANQUIS: “ONE MORE FAILURE”
Franquis (PSOE) has commented that the conference was “one more failure” of the Government of the Canary Islands “and its partner”, the PP, which votes “against” in all meetings of reforming article 35 of the immigration law.
Along these lines, he has pointed out that “the continuous blocking” of the popular party to the distribution of minors has become clear in the midst of a “submissive and complicit action” by CC, which has dedicated itself to “protecting them.”
“They only defend the interests of the Government, it is enough to patch the immigration policy,” he stressed.
He has defended that the decree law that the Canarian Executive negotiates with Junts only serves to “soften” the situation when the definitive solution involves “imposing solidarity” on the autonomous communities.
Faced with this, he has indicated that “the PP has chosen hatred and racism” which is why he has demanded that Clavijo “assume his responsibilities.”
