Feijóo demands the Government close the border in the Canary Islands and open the debate on who enters Spain: "Sánchez was unable to prevent the invasion of Ceuta"

Alberto Núñez Feijóo has increased the pressure on the Government this Sunday by demanding a "serious" Executive in the Canary Islands and "one that knows how to close the border," a demand with which he intends to force a debate in Spain about who enters the country, for what purpose, and under what conditions.

The president of the Popular Party, in a message disseminated on X and reported by Europa Press, accused the head of the Executive of having ignored for months the "help" requests from the Canarian Government. "Have you still not understood that your irresponsibility costs lives?" wrote the popular leader.

Feijóo also maintained that the president was "incapable of preventing the invasion of Ceuta," while reproaching him for having "abandoned 80,000 compatriots to go on vacation." The accusation, however, does not specify what concrete measure would have prevented the arrival of boats nor does it resolve the core of the political conflict over migration management.

The leader of the PP argued that the response should not involve "distributing them throughout Spain" nor "exporting them to Europe" by transferring migrants to the Peninsula. His message insists on containing the problem at its origin and at the border, although for now he does not detail the institutional mechanism he proposes to do so.

Canary Islands, under the impact of new arrivals

Feijóo's words come after thousands of immigrants have reached the Canarian coasts in different boats throughout the week, a flow that maintains pressure on the archipelago and reignites the struggle between the PP and the Government over migration management.

For now, the clash remains open between the demand for greater border control and the lack of operational detail on how to apply it, while the Canary Islands remain at the center of a crisis that continues to accumulate arrivals.
