The spokesperson for the Popular Party's Parliamentary Group in the Senate, Javier Maroto, traveled to Lanzarote this Friday to learn about the situation of the temporary immigrant care centers, where he announced the presentation of an initiative, for debate in the next Plenary Session, in which the Government is urged to install the Radar in the northern zone of Lanzarote (SIVE) within a maximum period of one month, at full capacity.
"Pedro Sánchez has no soul, when to save lives at sea, there is the possibility that technology offers you, with a 6 million euro radar that Rajoy bought and that is still stored in a warehouse," Javier Maroto denounced.
"No one can believe that 2,500 people have died at sea in a year and a half, while the Government of Pedro Sánchez and the Canarian Government have been looking the other way for too long." "Not installing the SIVE is not only negligence, it demonstrates the lack of soul of a president," Maroto insisted, who attributed it to "the sectarianism that can sometimes lead to situations as paradoxical, as absurd and as irritating as the solution exists and is bought, and the government, just because it is of another color, does not install it."
Arrecife asks for more National Police officers
During his visit, Javier Maroto, who was accompanied by the spokesperson on Immigration and senator for Melilla, Sofía Acedo, and the group of Canarian senators in Madrid, met with the mayor of Arrecife, Astrid Pérez, and the councilors of the PP municipal group, who conveyed their concern about the shortage of National Police officers.
"Arrecife is a city that has suffered a significant population increase but that has nevertheless suffered a stabilization in the number of officers." "What we have asked Javier Maroto, who has always been concerned about the problems of the island, is his intermediation to raise with the State government the need to implement the officers, especially now that we have many agents dedicated almost exclusively to the migratory phenomenon."
After this meeting, the also president of the PP of Lanzarote, Javier Maroto, and the regional president, Australia Navarro, held a working meeting with the president of Felapyme, Valentín Elvira, to learn about the situation of Lanzarote's companies after the health crisis. Although the self-employed and the small and medium-sized companies in the commerce, hospitality and services sector are beginning to register more movement, it is true that there is still a long way to go before they can return to the activity they registered before the state of alarm, especially on an island like Lanzarote that depends economically on tourism, directly and indirectly.
