The PP planned to meet this coming Monday with the Government of Pedro Sánchez to discuss the migration crisis affecting the Canary Islands.
Now, the spokesperson for the popular parliamentary group in Congress, Miguel Tellado, has suspended the meeting with the Minister of Territorial Policy, Ángel Víctor Torres, after the European Commission confirmed that Spain has given up asking for help from the EU, as they claimed. from Genoa.
The PP will not hold talks with the PSOE Executive and Sumar until it reconsiders and seeks community support to resolve a problem, that of immigration in the Canary Islands, which, it assures, “is not just a problem for Spain.”
He rejects that the Government says ‘no’ to the help offered and that it delegates the response to this problem to the autonomous communities chaired by the PP. “It is unacceptable that the Government of Spain prevents Europe from helping the Canary Islands out of pure political interest, because of its obsession with torpedoing the Canary Islands government,” said Tellado.
Those from Feijóo denounce that Sánchez’s Executive first refused to ask for help from Frontex, and now rejects the extended hand of Europe to join forces to remedy the continuous arrival of cayucos to the coasts of the Canary archipelago.
At the same time, they once again ask the Government to send the documentation and communications maintained between Spain and the Commission since they have not yet obtained any response to this request.
Likewise, although they expressly expressed their desire for the conversations between the two to be discreet, the popular ones consider that the Government broke its word by leaking to the media the content of the meetings held last week.
They have also conveyed their decision to the President of the Executive of the Canary Islands, Fernando Clavijo.
