Canary Islands judicial and infrastructure developments
Overview
In the Canary Islands, regional authorities have identified funding limitations for large-scale hydraulic infrastructure, choosing to prioritize water supply for human consumption and agricultural reuse. Concurrently, the regional government has requested that the Spanish state guarantee free public transport through 2027 to mitigate election-related uncertainty.
Following these developments, political representatives have called for increased judicial resources. During the presentation of the 2025 Prosecutor's Report in the Parliament of the Canary Islands, Jesús Ramos of the Agrupación Socialista Gomera (ASG) highlighted a rise in litigation rates. Specifically, the report indicated a 3.3% increase in preliminary proceedings in 2025 compared to 2024, and a 42% rise in sexual assault cases against minors under 16. Ramos emphasized that current resources are insufficient due to staff shortages, high prosecutor turnover, and the need for improved facilities and victim support.
