The president of the Cabildo of Gran Canaria considers it “incomprehensible that the deputies of the Popular Party of the Canary Islands have ignored the demands of this land and have voted following the interests of their party.”
He states that “we must demand that the Government of Spain implement, as soon as possible, the decree law that allows the autonomous communities to be obliged to accept this reception distributed throughout all the territories of the State.”
The president of the Cabildo of Gran Canaria, Antonio Morales, has considered today that the rejection of the Congress of Deputies to reform the Immigration Law to implement a mandatory distribution of unaccompanied migrant minors between the autonomous communities, “is a tremendous contempt of the extreme right and the right, which increasingly resembles the extreme right, whether Catalan or the entire Spanish State, to the reality of the Canary Islands, a contempt for minors, Human Rights and International Law ”.
In the opinion of President Morales, “it is unacceptable that formulas for meeting have not been sought to make it possible for the reform of the Immigration Law to go forward and, therefore, to respond to the needs of the Canary Islands. We have said it actively and passively. There are no means. There are no resources. There are no possibilities to serve these people with dignity,” he proclaimed.
He has also asserted that “this is a supportive reception throughout the State that is rejected, I insist, by the right and the extreme right. Furthermore, it is absolutely incomprehensible that the deputies of the Popular Party of the Canary Islands have ignored the demands of this land and have voted following the interests of their party and not the interests of the Canary Islands,” he denounced. “It seems to me to be absolutely irresponsible that the negotiations have not been rushed to provide solutions to the reception needs, distributed throughout the State.”
Faced with this situation, the leader of the Gran Canaria Government has emphasized that "we must demand that the Government of Spain implement, as soon as possible, the decree law that allows the autonomous communities to be obliged to accept this reception distributed throughout all the territories of the State." .
Finally, he has made a call “to the deputies of the Canary Islands, of any political color, to put the interests of this land, of the men and women who have elected them, always ahead of those of the colors of their political organizations, because to do otherwise would be enormously irresponsible.”
