The organization secretary of Coalición Canaria, David Toledo, has asked the Socialist Party to "stop using the migratory phenomenon as a political weapon because what is at stake is the lives of thousands of boys and girls who are abandoned to their fate after having made a dramatic journey by sea.”
Toledo referred to the statements made this morning by the secretary of institutional policy of the PSOE, Alfonso Rodríguez Gómez de Celis, in which he urged the president of the Canary Islands to expel the Popular Party from the Government if an agreement is not reached on the distribution of unaccompanied immigrant minors.
For the nationalist leader, “it is incomprehensible that, given this situation of helplessness and collapse on the islands, the Government of Spain is more concerned with breaking up the Canarian government than with solving this situation, for which our general secretary and president of the Canary Islands, Fernando Clavijo, has tried to favor all possible agreements.”
The last one, he recalled, “together with the Basque Lehendakari, Imanol Pradales, by which a proposal for provisional distribution was established, to which Junts per Catalunya could be added, for which its approval by Royal Decree Law within the Council of Ministers is required and, thus, its immediate application.”
To approve that Decree, the government “does not need anyone's help, as it has done during this legislature in which it has approved more than 1,000. The attitude of the Government of Spain and the Socialist Party makes us think that their intention is not to take any measures until the PP leaves the Canarian executive, and that only has one name and that is blackmail,” he stated.
