Canary Islands Cabildos approve space hub plan, autonomy support and youth employment pact
The Cabildo of Tenerife approved a motion urging the Spanish and Canary governments to boost institutional and financial backing for Tenerife’s role in European space programs. The proposal seeks greater participation in ESA projects, expansion of the Canary Islands Constellation and the Telepuerto, and inclusion in initiatives such as ESA BIC, Horizon Europe and CEF Digital, while promoting public‑private collaboration.
The Cabildo of Fuerteventura adopted a declaration supporting autonomous workers, echoing President Lola García’s statement that freelancers are a key pillar of the island’s economy. The body endorsed a set of proposals from the Association of Autonomous Workers, committing to training, innovation, digitalisation, administrative simplification and coordinated action with national and Canary authorities.
In Tenerife, the Cabildo unanimously passed an institutional declaration for International Youth Day, outlining a roadmap to improve youth housing and employment. Measures include expanding affordable public rentals, a youth rental bonus, a young mortgage scheme, and creating jobs in strategic sectors such as ecological transition, circular economy, audiovisual, technology and aerospace. The declaration also calls on the Canary government to increase resources for youth policies.
