According to the Canary Islands administration, this would mean the transfer of around 4,000 young people from the islands and another 400 from Ceuta, without changing the immigration law.
The Spanish Government and the Government of the Canary Islands have given themselves ten days to agree on a formula for the specific distribution of unaccompanied migrant children between communities, which the Canary Islands believes will prevent the transfer of some of the migrants would entail. 4,000 young people from the islands and from others 400 from Ceuta without changing the immigration law.
According to the President of the Canary Islands, Fernando Clavijo, the government has found “some nuances“on the proposal, so they agreed that in the next ten days the legal services of both parties “will have a closed text”, which can be submitted to the study of the Public Prosecution Service “or even to the Council of State” .
The regional president has celebrated the achievement of both within “specific deadlines”, which “always give confidence” to reach an agreed text, which will then be submitted to the relevant legal reports and for which he will then seek the support of the political parties. congressional groups.
“Either for the validation of that legal decree, which we want and which we think is more direct, or for the appropriate legal figure that has been agreed upon,” Clavijo said.
Regarding the legal nuances discussed, he explained that they are related to a possible infringement of the powers of the Autonomous Communities, as the Basque-Canary initiative (which has the support of Ceuta) involves the transfer of custody of the minors from one community to another.
Asked about his expectations that this new initiative will go ahead, Clavijo said that “after so long it is becoming increasingly difficult to be optimistic” and regarding possible support from the PP, with which he governs the islands, he assured that “I would wish” that this was the position of a party that aspires to rule Spain.
“No one can be against alleviating the absolute emergency that we have in the Canary Islands,” he said of the crisis that the archipelago is experiencing in this sense, which currently protects 5,812 minors and welcomes more than 300 young people in resources, although: according to experts they should serve twenty.
Minister Ángel Víctor Torres, in turn, recalled that, as already announced, the Minister of Youth and Children, Sira Rego, will convene a sector conference on children and adolescents in the coming weeks.
