Prohens calls for a migration contingency and demands that the Spanish government "protect the borders."
The Government is preparing two new appeals against the arrival of migrant minors to the Islands.


PalmPrime Minister Marga Prohens will exhaust all legal avenues to stop the arrival of the 49 unaccompanied migrant minors from the Canary Islands. The government has already filed two appeals against the distribution decreed by the state—one before the Constitutional Court (CC) and one before the Supreme Court (TS)—and is already preparing two more. She explained this in an interview on IB3 Ràdio. "The first appeal against the Congressional law that ordered the distribution that leaves out the Basque Country and Catalonia has been admitted for processing, and last Friday we announced a second, against the July decree [which establishes the figure corresponding to the Canary Islands]," she said. "We are preparing a third appeal against last week's royal decree [which approves the criteria for the distribution of the specific distribution in the Canary Islands], which we will also challenge." In this regard, she also announced that this Monday she will formally request the state to declare a migratory contingency situation in the Canary Islands. "We are Europe's southern border," he said, and demanded that the Spanish government "send security forces and bodies to protect our borders and pursue the mafias."
In the interview, Prohens emphasized that the route between Algeria and the Balearic Islands is experiencing "exponential growth" and lamented the "Spanish government's refusal" to recognize it: "This means that the necessary resources are not being sent." In this regard, he warned that it is already opening up beyond Algeria or the sub-Saharan route, and is now being undertaken by people of Asian origin. "It gives an idea of the scale of the problem, because before 2018, arrivals via this route were infrequent," he continued.
"We need to act in the country of origin."
In this regard, he argued that "we must act in the country of origin." "We cannot allow them to leave their country of origin and put their lives at risk," he continued. In this regard, Prohens called for "measures against the pull effect." "Why has immigration decreased in Italy, in the Canary Islands, and is increasing in the Balearic Islands?" he asked. "Because these measures aren't being implemented."
