The Secretary of Organization of the PSOE of the Canary Islands, Nira Fierro, has asked the Popular Party this Tuesday to clarify its position in relation to the modification of the Immigration Law.
“It is increasingly difficult to know what the Popular Party thinks. We hear in the Canary Islands its leader asking for a decree law for the immediate application of the rule and, on the contrary, the Popular Party issues a statement in which it criticizes the urgencies of the Bill presented in Congress this Monday and demands that the modification of the Immigration Law be processed through the Draft Law procedure, which would entail a series of economic reports and reports from different bodies that would delay its approval for many months”, he pointed out.
Requests that “Mr. Núñez Feijóo and Mr. Manuel Domínguez also clarify whether they want to promptly resolve the situation of strained territories such as the Canary Islands or Ceuta and Melilla or, on the contrary, a proposal for all of Spain is now being considered”.
Fierro said that “it is also not known” whether the PP's position is the one that defends that those minors about whom there are doubts about their age "stay in the Canary Islands, as they are now asking at the national level, or if they remain in the position defended by the agreement that the Government of Spain and the Canary Islands have worked on so that the medical tests that certify the age of migrants are carried out in the communities to which they are distributed, guaranteeing all their rights."
“If there is urgency, and a sectoral conference has just been held with the presence of all the autonomous communities, it is not understood, either, unless what is intended is to delay the issue, that they are now asking for a Conference of Presidents”, he added.
The socialist Secretary of Organization has urged the populars to “support in the Congress of Deputies” the text agreed upon by the Government of Spain and the Government of the Canary Islands and define “if it is really for the solution of the problem or for artificially prolonging the matter so as not to bother its barons in autonomous communities, who have described the agreement between the Canary Islands and the State as a joke”.
Finally, Nira Fierro has asked Manuel Domínguez to "move away from insults and obstructionist attitude and join a more loyal, responsible and constructive position, thus contributing to ensuring that this issue, which is so important for the Canary Islands, goes ahead as soon as possible."
