"I want to communicate to my neighbors of La Santa, who are the ones who suffer the pressure and problems derived from the shelter daily, but also to the neighbors of Tinajo in general, that I am not going to stop until the shelter is evicted,” said the mayor of Tinajo after the meeting held in Madrid between the Minister of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration, José Luis Escrivá, and the President of the Canary Islands, Fernando Clavijo.
Machín thanked Fernando Clavijo for "caring so much about immigration in the Canary Islands" and, especially, for "Lanzarote." However, the mayor, after the president's words in which he said "to also look for a new space in Lanzarote to reduce pressure on the shelter in La Santa," Machín reminded Clavijo "that the commitment acquired with the municipality of Tinajo was to evict the shelter in La Santa." "I appreciate this type of negotiation, but don't talk to me about reducing pressure on the shelter, they have to evict it because it is the only shelter that exists in Lanzarote and spaces can be enabled in the rest of the island that can be perfectly conditioned."
"We have been suffering this problem since 2018 and the commitment was to evict the shelter.” "Furthermore," continues the mayor of Tinajo, "I do not contemplate that this commitment with Tinajo will be breached. I hope that, as soon as possible, the shelter will be evicted," he adds.
"There have already been several altercations and I fear, I have a deep concern, that at any moment a real misfortune will occur," he points out.
"I am not going to stop until the shelter is evicted”
"I want to communicate to my neighbors of La Santa, who are the ones who suffer the pressure and problems derived from the shelter daily, but also to the neighbors of Tinajo in general, that I am not going to stop until the shelter is evicted,” concludes the mayor.
