• Immigration: the Canary Islands, one step away from becoming the new Lampedusa of Europe

The president of the Cabildo de Gran Canaria,

Antonio Morales

(NC), has asked through a video the presidents of Spain and the European Commission,

Pedro Sánchez

and

Ursula von der Leyen

, respectively, to stop using the island " like a migrant prison ", in which also" there are no resources or control. "

In the images released by the island institution, Morales asks two leaders to "put an end to the decision to turn Gran Canaria into a prison for immigrants" and the intention to "reproduce the model of Lampedusa or Lesbos."

The president of Gran Canaria calls for an end "with that decision to prevent referrals to the peninsula" because "thousands of people are living poorly in temporary care centers and, when they are released and the retention time passes, they are abandoned to the streets and his luck. "

It also affirms that

at present in Gran Canaria many migrants who have documentation are "prevented from traveling"

, who are "detained at the airport", and that there are "hundreds of people without resources, homeless, without care , wandering around the island ".

In his opinion, "there is no control and the management of this migratory crisis is disastrous, they have created a prison without means and without surveillance."

All of this has resulted in "situations of violence between them and the population", which, in their opinion, is "a breeding ground for hate speech and intolerance" and there may be "a social confrontation in this a territory of peace, "he alerted. Antonio Morales, who in the name of Canarian society and the institutions asks and demands Pedro Sánchez and Ursula von der Leyen to" put an end to this situation. "

It so happens that just yesterday the Civil Guard of Puerto Rico, in the municipality of

Mogán

(Gran Canaria), had to intervene in a tourist complex that welcomes migrants who arrived in the Canary Islands by boat when it was detected that there were numerous young people bathing in the pool and without any anticovid measure.

This was reported by the Benemérita, which explains that the events took place as a result of the images of a large number of young people in the pool area of ​​one of these complexes becoming viral on social networks.
