The president of the Canary Islands, Fernando Clavijo, will hold a "technical" meeting this Friday with the Minister of Territorial Policy, Ángel Víctor Torres, to try to "close the fringes" of the decree for the extraordinary distribution of minor immigrants among the autonomous communities.
This was announced by Clavijo this Thursday. In addition, he assured that the text is "very advanced" and the intention is for it to be ready by the end of the month to take it to Congress in the first week of February.
The Canarian president hopes to achieve a broad consensus for this specific distribution of the approximately four thousand minor immigrants who are now in the Canary Islands, in addition to the 400 from Ceuta, among the other autonomies, to alleviate the resources of the islands and to better care for children and adolescents under public guardianship.
He has thus trusted in the support of all parliamentary groups, including PP and Junts, but not Vox. "Something so basic should gather the unanimity of the Chamber. We know that this is not going to be possible because Vox is in the theses of xenophobia and, of course, of absolute lack of solidarity," he said later in statements to journalists.
Asked at breakfast if there is a danger that Pedro Sánchez's Government will not provide the necessary funds for this extraordinary distribution, he admitted that he does not trust the Executive.
He specified that, until now, the Government has conveyed to him that the decree law must have all the guarantees of being validated and all the legal guarantees.
But he added that he is already beginning to "suspect a little" that he wants to be "super-guaranteed" with that decree and, however, he has not been with those that were rejected by Congress this Wednesday.
"There I see inconsistency: if really in this case there is a will to respond to the emergency situation in the Canary Islands, there is no impediment to being a decree law or to enable the resources," he stressed.
He also said that it "generates distrust" the fact that the Executive has presented a plan to the European Union to be able to comply with the agreement and the migration pact without consulting or giving any information to the Canary Islands.
To this is added having learned from the European Commissioner for Home Affairs, Magnus Brunner, that Spain has received 562 million of community funds to address the phenomenon of immigration, while he has had to "fight tooth and nail" 50 million.
"We have to act with transparency and loyalty," demanded the Canarian president.
