SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE 7 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The European Network to Combat Poverty and Social Exclusion in Spain (EAPN-ES) is organising its annual seminar in Tenerife on November 13, 14, and 15 in partnership with its regional network EAPN-ES Canarias.

Under the theme ‘Social transformations and the protection of rights within the new European framework’, this forum, primarily aimed at managers and technical staff from social organisations as well as public administration leaders, will gather over a hundred participants from both regional and national networks that form part of EAPN-ES at the premises of the Government Presidency.

The opening ceremony will take place on November 13 at 4:30 p.m., featuring talks from several key figures including Fernando Clavijo, the President of the Canary Islands; Rosa Dávila, the President of the Tenerife Cabildo; José Manuel Bermúdez, the Mayor of Santa Cruz de Tenerife; Carlos Susías, the President of EAPN-ES and EAPN Europe; Juan Carlos Lorenzo, the President of EAPN Canarias; along with a keynote address by political scientist Nacho Corredor, who will evaluate the current political landscape, heavily influenced by the European and American elections and the effects of DANA, focussing on the impact on the most vulnerable segments of the population.

Furthermore, on Wednesday, the day will commence with a speech from Dolores Padrón, Representative of the Commons, followed by a presentation from journalist and author Azahara Palomeque, who will discuss the primary theme of the seminar, including advancements made and the ongoing challenges in the execution of the three critical aspects of a just transition – digital, ecological, and socioeconomic – across Europe and Spain.

This seminar is taking place just one month after the release of the XIV Report ‘The State of Poverty: Poverty and Territory. Autonomous Communities and the European Union’, which examined the indicators of poverty and social exclusion across the Autonomous Communities and within Europe.

Among the key findings, EAPN-ES emphasises the importance of the government’s role in alleviating poverty; were all assistance and benefits to be removed, 10.8 million individuals across the nation would fall into poverty.

The report indicates that the Canary Islands rank as the second autonomous community, following Andalusia, with the highest rate of individuals at risk of poverty or social exclusion, affecting 33.8% of the population, or approximately 750,000 people.
