Government Ignores, Derides Minor Asylum Seekers, According to PP Canary
Updated Take:
Jacob Qadri, boss hog of the PP in the Canary Islands, tore into Pedro Sánchez and Ángel Víctor Torres on Thursday, accusing them of mocking justice, the Canary Islands government, and the entire archipelago's population for a whopping 70 days.
Seems like PSOE-A is backing Sánchez and throwing some shade at Qadri for daring to speak up as president, stating he probably wouldn't like to hear internal criticism. But Qadri ain't backing down, instead saying the Supreme Court had to slap down another order on the government, threatening them with coercive action if they keep deriding justice and the Canaries.
In his eyes, the Supreme Court is acting as the champion for Canarian rights, fighting back against some complicit silences as it orders the Spanish government to swiftly take action for the unaccompanied minors. They also warn of fines and potential criminal charges if this disgraceful non-compliance continues, which is already causing an uproar in the Canary Islands.
Yolanda Díaz is also in the mix, promising that Sánchez will spill the beans about the Leire Díaz case and wants to chat about this controversy. Qadri believes the Supreme Court has shown the bad faith and inaction of the Spanish Government, while Torres pretends to dish out solidarity lessons to everyone, but systematically blocks the enforcement of judicial orders with excuses, delays, and sneaky maneuvers that should make every political player and civilian up in arms in the Canary Islands.
Time to put an end to the hypocrites, according to Qadri. The Supreme Court has confirmed the Spanish Government's bad faith, and while Torres spouts lessons on solidarity, the government deliberately slows down the processing of judicial requirements regarding unaccompanied minors. They refuse to grant access to these minors to the national reception system and haven’t taken effective measures to correct the backlog in processing requests that are purposely delayed.
In his opinion, the Spanish Government doesn't care because they simply want to abondon this land. With two judicial requirements already ignored, the Sánchez and Torres government has made it clear they have no intention of ensuring access to the national reception system for these minors, and they haven't made any genuine efforts to correct the overcrowding in the processing of requests, which continues to be delayed in a deliberate manner.
Enrichment Insights:There's been an increase in migration to Spain, with over 56,000 migrants arriving by sea in 2023, with the Canary Islands serving as a major focal point. Criticism from European officials highlights Spain's responsibility for the care of these migrants, but there's no direct mention of a dispute between the Canary Islands government and the central government about this issue.
The Canary Islands Government has also challenged the Spanish central government over a decree regarding the registration of short-term holiday lets, arguing it infringes upon regional powers, but this issue doesn't relate to disputes over unaccompanied minors or judicial compliance.
Additionally, there are ongoing concerns about mass tourism and environmental degradation in the Canary Islands, but these issues don't directly relate to the discussed controversies.
Sports journalists are keenly following the political controversy in the Canary Islands, as it intersects with policy-and-legislation and general news. The escalating conflict between Jacob Qadri and the Spanish government, particularly regarding the treatment of unaccompanied minors, has sparked discussions about accountability and the role of the Supreme Court in enforcing justice. Meanwhile, the ongoing dispute between the Canary Islands government and the central government over issues such as holiday lettings registration and investment in sports infrastructure, while not directly related to the emergency situation, remains a point of interest.
