Avoiding noise and focusing on problems, challenge of the nationality debate

It will be a plenary session in which the alleged cases of corruption and its ramification on the islands. Above all, with the People’s Party in attack and PSOE in defense of his actions as part of the Pact of Flowers in the last legislature and, fundamentally, in its attitude when confronting corrupt behavior.

Avoid noise around this issue and that the tension that exists in the Congress of Deputiesin such a way that the debate focuses on the issues of the archipelago will be one of the challenges of this plenary session of the Parliament of the Canary Islands.

Migration

The immigration will be one of the issues that occupy part of the session, both for the pressure who suffer public services of some islands, such as The ironas for the humanitarian emergencyWhat does it mean for the autonomous community to serve 5,500 unaccompanied minors.

This is also one of the great issues in which almost all political formations have shown their support for the government. So much so that even the leader of the Popular Party and regional vice president, Manuel Domínguezhas claimed to his colleagues in the peninsula that lower the tone in the face of some clearly xenophobic statements.

Clavijo has the support of the entire parliamentary group -except the extreme right- in his claim to the State to proceed with a legislative modification that allows the reception of these boys and girls to be the responsibility of all communities and that they are not at the expense of a solidarity that until now has not worked.

The canary solution -approved by Parliament after a communication from the regional Executive- still does not have an answer by the State.

Emergencies

Also the emergencies that the archipelago has suffered during this time will be present in the president’s intervention, from the water crisis -declared in Lanzarote, Fuerteventura and Tenerife- to the energydeclared after the blackout suffered by La Gomera in summer.

The call for an emergency tender last November still does not have the economic proposals to be sent to the Ministry for the Ecological Transition, which will be responsible for assuming its cost. The Government of the Canary Islands has highlighted the collaboration provided by this department.

Coasts

But with Teresa Ribera, one of lime and the other of sand. Although the regional Executive has highlighted its disposition in different matters, its refusal to give up all transfers regarding costs has led the autonomous government to go to the constitutional Court given what he considers a interference of the powers granted by the statute.

This situation has occurred after the State has declared the expiration of the hotel concession Olive Beach -from the company RIU-, located in the natural park of the Corralejo Dunes.

Canarian agenda

It will not be the only issue related to relations with the Government of Pedro Sánchez that will be on the table. Although the canarian agenda It has been agreed since the beginning of the national legislature with the PSOE – it had previously also been closed with the PP – the negotiation will return to the fore once the General State Budgetan issue that has been delayed due to the complicated national situation.

Furthermore, the non-existent information from Madrid about his trips to Mauritania and above all Morocco to address the migratory phenomenon, or other matters that have an impact on the archipelago, including the possible transfer of control of the airspace of the Sahara Western, which is carried out from Gran Canaria, will once again be in the debate.

Predictably, the request to relax the spending rule for the Canary Islands, as an autonomous community that complies with the path of stability.

Non-compliance

The opposition will not miss the opportunity to remember some breaches of the Government, especially in fiscal matters, since one of the president’s commitments in his inauguration speech was to lower the IGIC. Likewise, they will reproach the increase in public positions by 30%, which makes this Government the one with the largest structure in the history of the Canary Islands.

One of the great projects of the Government in this mandate, the Housing law decreehas the approval of the promoters and builders, but not the opposition.

While NC has criticized the “developmentalist” line that the Government has, the socialists have pointed out that this text – which part of the Canary Coalition does not like either – is “a coup d’état to planning.”

The debate is a man’s thing

The first Debate on the status of Canarian nationality of this legislature is held in the next March 12, 13 and 14 and, as usual, begins with the president’s intervention.

They will follow you seven spokespersons, all menwho will offer their diagnosis of the autonomous community. Fernando Clavijo will have a maximum of two hoursalthough it probably won’t consume all the time.

In the afternoon it will be opposition turn for 40 minutes –Socialist Group, Nueva Canarias and Vox-. The president may respond jointly or individually to the spokespersons, who will have a ten-minute reply and the president closes this block.

The session, according to the agenda set by Parliament, resumes the following day with the groups that support the government and also from highest to lowest: CC, PP, ASG and Mixed Group (AHI). The format and times will be the same as for the opposition.

Until 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, groups will be able to present their resolution proposals “congruent with the issues discussed.” These initiatives will be defended – in a single 30-minute session – and voted on Thursday in the Thursday morning session.
