The Popular Party of the Canary Islands has requested this Wednesday the reinforcement of the staff of the National Police, Civil Guard and Maritime Rescue
after the increase in migratory pressure by more than 25% compared to the previous year. "A reality that Pedro Sánchez did not want to see from his deckchair in Lanzarote and dedicated himself to hiding during his visit to La Palma," says the senator for Gran Canaria, Sergio Ramos, who recalls that the 10,347 immigrants counted this year and the 229 boats that have arrived in the Canary Islands represent a "historical record".

«Only during the month of his holidays in Lanzarote, 1,500 people have arrived on our shores, of whom 23 have died. To Sánchez's lies, we must add the complicit silence of Ángel Víctor Torres and the entire PSOE of the Canary Islands who, far from ask for more means,
they look the other way and they applaud without question the disastrous immigration policy of their Government”, comments Ramos.

The PP of the Canary Islands hoped that, taking advantage of his stay in the Islands, Sánchez would announce this summer the
installation of the SIVE radar in Lanzarote «which has been kept in a drawer for three years, the firm compliance with the protocols of the European Union and the Immigration Law to expedite repatriations or the increase in means and resources for the State Security Forces and Bodies in charge of providing border surveillance, assistance and custody of migrants.

“A migratory pressure that both the National Police, the Civil Guard and Salvamar attend to with the same troops as at the beginning of this crisis in 2018, despite the fact that the
The Government of Spain devised the so-called Canary Islands Plan to attend to these flows, which represented 7,000 places of permanent reception of immigrants in the Canarian Autonomous Community. One more improvisation of the Government of Sánchez in which neither the increase in troops nor the resources to attend to those 7,000 places were foreseen, "Ramos denounces.

Agreements with countries of origin

A situation that, for the also executive secretary of Immigration of the PP of the Canary Islands, forces us to resume the conclusion of bilateral agreements with the countries of origin for their repatriation and
focus all efforts on solving the problem at source and, with this, «stop the arrivals as the PP already did in 2007 and 2011, when only 470 people arrived on the Canary coasts on average per year. That average stands today at more than 20,000 people.

Ramos also recalls that «today the Canary Islands are no better than when the Canarian Route was reactivated in June 2018: the Lanzarote SIVE is still in a drawer without being installed,
we have the same border surveillance and rescue forces, the Fuerteventura internment center is not finished four years after its rehabilitation was promised, hundreds of people continue to die at sea, and arrivals have increased by 25% this year». "From the Canary Islands PP we don't know exactly what Ángel Víctor Torres and the PSOE are applauding: the agreement with Morocco has been useless and, on top of that, they have abandoned the Saharawi cause," he laments.

The PP of the Canary Islands defends that it is necessary to undertake regulatory changes to
enable a legal procedure through which unaccompanied minors and adolescents who are in a situation of abandonment in Spain, and whose parents are perfectly identified in their country of origin, can be returned to their family with all the legal guarantees in the best interests of the minor .

«The border territories cannot assume the migratory flows coming from the entire African continent. Furthermore, it is unacceptable that
the Atlantic becomes a graveyard in which hundreds of people die in their attempt to reach Europe. You don't just come to the Canary Islands on vacation to a royal palace and get tanned to return to the Peninsula. The Canary Islands are respected, "concluded Ramos.
