Canary Islands migration crisis concerns

Overview

Canary Islands President Fernando Clavijo has called for a coordinated ‘state response’ to address a growing migration crisis. Clavijo warned that instability in the Sahel region could destabilize Europe’s southern border and criticized the Spanish central government and the European Union for a lack of decisiveness.

He noted that migration stability relies heavily on Morocco’s policy toward departures, warning that any shift in Rabat could cause arrivals to exceed current levels. Clavijo further argued that European policy focuses too much on containment rather than addressing root causes, such as economic prospects in Africa, and called for a fundamental debate regarding African policy within Spain and the EU.
