SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, 25 Sep. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Coalición Canaria (CC) cautioned the PSOE on Wednesday that it is running out of “justifications” for its continued failure to address the migration crisis in the Canary Islands and has criticized the Government for not yet scheduling a meeting to facilitate the distribution of migrant minors.
“We cannot engage in political games when discussing the future of nearly 6,000 children who remain in limbo in the Canary Islands and those who continue to arrive,” stated the Secretary of Organisation, David Toledo, in a statement.
He thus urged accountability at a “pivotal moment for the archipelago” and expressed confusion over why the meeting that the Minister of Territorial Policy, Ángel Víctor Torres, had assured would take place between the State, the PP, and the Government of the Canary Islands to advance the reform of immigration law “remains undated to this day.”
The second in command of the Canarian nationalists highlighted that the migration crisis in the Canary Islands “is evidently not a priority for the State, yet it is a critical issue for a Canarian Government that continues to receive not a single euro and bears sole responsibility for the care of almost 6,000 boys and girls within a reception system that has been collapsing for some time now.”
