Overview

• President Pedro Sánchez and Canary Islands leader Fernando Clavijo convene at Lanzarote’s Cabildo with Territorial Policy Minister Ángel Víctor Torres to address stalled transfers of unaccompanied migrant minors.
• Clavijo says he expects Madrid to issue expedited directives establishing a reasonable distribution flow that eases severe overcrowding in island reception centres.
• The Supreme Court has ruled the state must assume responsibility for relocations and the government plans a Moncloa decree by late August to set up mainland reception capacity.
• PP spokesperson Ester Muñoz dismissed the meeting’s prospects and demanded detailed data on the number of minors, their countries of origin and receiving autonomous communities.
• Clavijo will also raise broader agenda canaria demands, including free transport, La Palma reconstruction aid and additional budgetary and fiscal concessions.
