The regional deputy of the Popular Parliamentary Group, Astrid Pérez, has demanded that the Government of the Canary Islands resolve "urgently" the employment lists of the bodies of Procedural and Administrative Management, Procedural and Administrative Processing and Judicial Assistance of the Administration of Justice, convened "almost a year and a half ago."
Pérez, who has asked the Deputy Minister of Justice about the plans that the Executive has in this regard. The popular has denounced "the collapse that is being experienced in some courts of the islands due to the lack of personnel to deal with the high rates of litigation in which the Canary Islands is maintained," which even emphasizes that it is "one of the highest in the State."
The deputy has highlighted "the delay that is occurring in the resolution of the lists" because, except for those of forensic doctor, those of processing, management and procedural assistance "are still not published."
"It is incredible that an administration like the Canarian one, which knows that we are short of resources, that justice has serious problems and is at the level it is due to the lack of public employees; we are talking about the fact that a year and a half later the call has not yet been definitively resolved to cover vacancies that are absolutely necessary," said Astrid Pérez.
In this sense, the parliamentarian has exposed the "lamentable and shameful" situation that, in her opinion, is occurring on the island of Fuerteventura due to the lack of a forensic technician, which is causing "the delay of autopsies for up to four and five days." "All in the face of the pain, helplessness and despair of families who are already going through the drama of the death of a loved one," she added.
Pérez has exposed "how illogical and even perverse" a rotating personnel system can be, according to her, "which prevents the autopsy assistant from Lanzarote from being able to travel directly to Fuerteventura at a given moment." "Instead of that, which is a matter of half an hour by boat, families can be waiting up to four or five days, depending on the air connections, because the one from Lanzarote must go to Gran Canaria so that the technician from that island can, in turn, move to Fuerteventura," Pérez continues arguing.
Astrid Pérez has defended "the right of the deceased and their families to a dignified burial" and has demanded an urgent solution from the government "for dignity, for humanity, and for the respect and tranquility that families deserve."
