Canary Islands 2027 regional and 2026 general election prep

Overview

Political maneuvering for the 2027 Canary Islands regional elections and the upcoming November 29 general elections continues to shape regional dynamics. Fernando Clavijo has been officially proclaimed the unanimous candidate for Coalición Canaria (CC) for the regional presidency. Clavijo has emphasized maintaining an independent political agenda from Madrid, focusing on housing, migration, and regional financing. He has also criticized Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez for exhibiting “arrogance” and “moral superiority,” while accusing the central government of being “eight years late” in addressing the housing emergency.

To address the housing crisis, Clavijo is seeking EU support for outermost region funds and has proposed designating “saturated zones” to limit property purchases by non-residents in high-demand areas. Meanwhile, the PSOE, led by Ángel Víctor Torres, is prioritizing his candidacy for the regional presidency. Torres has called on citizens protesting for housing rights to vote in the general elections, while criticizing the People's Party (PP) for its stance on pensions.

On the left, Nueva Canarias, Podemos, Izquierda Unida, and Movimiento Sumar have formed the “Unidad del Pueblo Canario” (UPC) coalition for the general elections, focusing on progressive taxation and public services. In contrast, migration management has become a flashpoint: Clavijo accused the PP and Vox of wanting to turn the islands into a “migrant detention center,” while the PP countered that the islands already function as a retention center under the current administration.

Other developments include Nueva Canarias-Bloque Canarista criticizing teacher authority legislation for lacking funding, and the PP calling for increased border security through Frontex and the Armed Forces.
