Video: Fataga remains silent for the second time in two days: Unaccompanied minors raise alarm in southern Gran Canaria

Two fires in less than three days. The smoke rises, but in the Canary Islands, someone decided to look the other way. 112 talks about outbreaks, protocols, and activations, but is silent on who lit the spark. Migrant minors, some say. Minors who walk in the shadows to smoke what they shouldn't, to experience what they can't. And meanwhile, the neighbors—elderly, European, inhabitants of calm—watch the terror in their streets.

A 16-year-old boy was seriously injured. Burns, smoke, hospital. Bureaucracy lists ambulances, firefighters, police, protocols. But no one asks about the root of that fire: abandonment, marginalization, invisibility.

Fataga is not just a landscape: it's a mirror. A mirror that reflects how administrative censorship and selective fear create a scenario where danger is repeated, where tragedy is anticipated. In the haze of smoke, a truth is revealed that no one wants to admit: security is not preserved with silence, it is preserved with responsibility, attention, and policies that do not ignore the most vulnerable or those who live with them.
