The spokesperson on Immigration matters of the Popular Group in the Regional Parliament, Astrid Pérez, stated this Wednesday that "swallowing the toad" of more than 6,000 deaths at sea in recent years is "very hard, inadmissible."
Pérez made this statement in reference to the recent declarations of MEP Juan Fernando López Aguilar, who assured that “if toads have to be swallowed with Morocco, they are swallowed”, indicating that "they are irresponsible declarations, which affect not only the migratory crisis of recent years, but also issues of enormous importance for the Islands such as the delimitation of the Canary waters."
The popular representative has indicated that you have to have "a bomb-proof stomach" to endure this situation, and that a "civilized and responsible" society cannot allow the PSOE's position in this crisis, which "leaves much to be desired" and demonstrates an "absolute chaos" that they "have neither wanted nor been able to" solve effectively.
"Responsibility and forcefulness" for the regional and national governments
The candidate for mayor of Arrecife has also criticized the "unconsciousness" of some socialist representatives a week before the first Spanish-Moroccan summit in 10 years, who "launch bells into the air in their manifestations without measuring their consequences."
In this sense, she has also insisted that the migration policy of the president, Pedro Sánchez, continues to be an "unknown quantity" that should concern the Regional Government, which, "however, remains before this serious social and humanitarian problem as a mere spectator, impassive in the face of the central executive's continuous mistakes.
Therefore, she has reported that the PP of the Canary Islands demands the Government of Spain "to act responsibly" and the regional government "to demand forcefully solutions to alleviate the situation" of the archipelago.
