The Superior Court of Justice of the Canary Islands has agreed to the request of the Superior Prosecutor's Office of the Canary Islands to suspend as a very urgent precaution the protocol for migrant minors, approved by the Government of the Canary Islands last week and published in the Official Gazette of the Canary Islands. This was announced by the Court's communication room this Friday.

"The Chamber agrees to grant the suspension of the challenged resolution, due to the concurrence of circumstances of special urgency," highlighted a part of the order to which La Voz had access. From this moment, the Canarian Executive has three days to present allegations.

The Public Ministry, through the superior prosecutor of the Canary Islands, María Farnés, requested two days ago the immediate suspension of the Canarian protocol, considering that it violates the Constitution and the Convention on the Rights of the Child and, in practice, "it means the absence of immediate attention to the situation of helplessness evident in minors arriving from the sea to the coasts of the community".
