Minicological between the government and the Canary Islands in Tenerife to respond to the Supreme Court ruling that forced some more than 1,000 unaccompanied migrants They have requested asylum they go to the national reception system. The Minister of Territorial Policy and Democratic Memory, Ángel Víctor Torres, has guaranteed in statements to the media this Thursday after the meeting held in Santa Cruz de Tenerife that the Government of Spain « will logically respect that ruling, it will take it into practice. » Nuanced towers, however, that this does not imply that minors necessarily leave the Canary Islands. « You have to do a job with the Autonomous Community, » he explained, « case by case » to check his level of roots and know whether or not they must be « on the islands. The minister has stressed that it is « impossible » that « they pass, as if they were a bag, from one side to another, 1,000 children from night to morning. » « To solve the overcrowding problem, » said the Canarian President, Fernando Clavijo, « obviously, has to leave the Autonomous Community. »
On the 26th, the Supreme Court urged to the government to take care of more than a thousand unaccompanied migrant minors Asylum seekers who are currently in charge of the Canary Islands Protection Services. To advance its compliance, an interministerial meeting has been organized on Thursday, which has had the presence, in addition to Clavijo and Torres, the Minister of Migration, Elma Saiz. The head of childhood and youth, Sira Rego, intervened in a telematic way.
In recent days, the Canary Islands have claimed the central government that this thousand minors leave the archipelago to relieve the « overcrowding » that occurs in the regional reception system. Something that Torres has put a certain brake this Wednesday. In his statements to the media, the Canary Minister has remarked that the Supreme « does not say » that those minor asylum seekers « must stay » in the Canary Islands « or go to another place, which says is that they must be in the national system. »
The exit of those minors, Obviously, you have to pay attention to, ”said Clavijo. « It is not the same the reality of a minor to the best of eight of nine years that is with a Canarian family who is schooled at a child under 17 who is soon to turn 18 and that, in addition, for being susceptible to political asylum and international protection, goes out with a work permit. » However, he has stressed that « one of the circumstances that was generating a breakdown of his rights to the minor, and says the Supreme, is overcrowding, » he said. « And overcrowding is resolved with bringing minors to other resources, where they will be able to be served. » And it has concluded. « A minor who is with a Canarian family is not in a saturated resource, but a minor who is in a resource with 300 more minors is. »
Speaking to the media, the Canarian nationalist leader has also criticized the position of some communities governed by the PP, regarding the transfer to other regions by unaccompanied migrant minors who protect the archipelago. The Council of Ministers approved this derivation on March 18and Congress will have to ratify it on April 10. On Wednesday, Clavijo accused them of « bad faith. » This Thursday, he explained that he believes « that some are taking this as a political battalion, as unfortunately becoming politics in Madrid. » « We forget that behind those dilatory tactics, what there are are boys and girls who are seeing their rights violated, » he said.
