Canary Islands Ombudsman institutional coordination

Overview

Ástrid Pérez, President of the Parliament of the Canary Islands, met with Antonio Alarcón of the Ombudsman's Office in Lanzarote to address citizen grievances. The discussions focused on social welfare concerns, including housing, healthcare, and dependency services, emphasizing the need for coordination between the Parliament and the Ombudsman to ensure public administrations prioritize resident well-being.

Following these discussions, Lola Padrón, head of the Canary Islands' Ombudsman, requested a 7% budget increase for 2027, totaling approximately 5.34 million euros. This request follows a 12% rise in complaints regarding public administration in 2025. The proposed budget aims to expand staff, modernize technical tools, and strengthen mediation programs. Proposed initiatives include establishing a Citizenship School in La Palma and pursuing a bid to host an international meeting of ombudsman offices in 2028.
