Coalición Canaria has taken stock of the boats that have reached the coasts of Lanzarote in recent days: "Five boats in the last 48 hours, eight in the last six days and a total of 436 people, are the latest figures that irregular immigration has left", they point out.
A situation that, according to the island secretary of Coalición Canaria, Migdalia Machín, "should put all institutional representatives on their feet, but which, however, has become such a common occurrence that nobody says anything or does anything".
“We cannot normalize the fact that hundreds of people risk their lives every day at sea trying to find a future. We cannot continue to normalize the arrival of boats on our coasts, nor can we remain silent in the face of the lack of infrastructure and tools to be able to care for them all in a dignified manner,” says Machín.
The nationalist leader urges, once again, the socialist representatives in the Cabildo of Lanzarote and in the Government of the Canary Islands to “wake up once and for all and stop yielding to the interests of the state government”.
“This is something cyclical and they know it. The time of calm seas arrives, people throw themselves into the sea, arrive on our coasts, we cannot attend to them or house them in conditions, we complain, we protest and we ask for explanations that never get an answer, until they stop arriving. And then silence, until the sea is calm again and everything starts again,” laments the island secretary.
"Meanwhile, Lanzarote suffers the humiliation of a Government that ignores the island, its inhabitants and each and every one of the people, adults and minors, who arrive aboard the aforementioned boats", the nationalists criticize.
“There is a constant feeling among the population that they are laughing at us”, laments the island's Secretary of Organization, Echedey Eugenio. “They dedicate themselves to building centers that do not meet the pertinent health guarantees, but reject other alternatives without any valid argument,” he adds.
“People pile up, without showers or bathrooms to cover their needs, but the PSOE continues to look the other way in all the institutions in which it governs, from the Cabildo of Lanzarote to the Government of the State, passing through the Canarian Executive”, asserts Eugenio.
