Euskadik and Canary Islandsk The Spanish Government has been asked this Fridaytogrant temporary work permits to migrants participating in training processes in order not to encourage these people to "the black economy".
ThePresident of the Government of the Canary Islands, Fernando Clavijo , is in the Basque Autonomous Community (CAV) and this Friday morning he met thePeñascal Training Centre in Bilbao , which works with young migrants.
"Territorial cooperation is the best instrument for promoting innovation, strengthening public services and improving the lives of citizens," stressed the President of the Canary Islands Government, who has stressed that migration relations between the two regions are "excellent" and has ensured that while the Canary Islands is the "southern border" of migration routes, the Basque Country is "the northern border" which, he said, "tightens public services".
With regardto thedistribution of migrant minors who are alone , Clavijo has stated that the situation is still "quite stuck.""More than 2,000 have to leave the Canary Islands before March 18. we are in a hurry.
"There are communities that cooperate, that are aware of the current situation and that have their share of solidarity, as in the case of the Basque Country, but others sometimes put obstacles in the way. Ideally, cooperation should be encouraged," he said.
Thus, it calls on the Spanish Government to grant temporary work permits so that migrants involved in training processes have a job and are not condemned to the "black economy." "The State must speed up procedures in order to reward the effort made in training, because companies need it and because it is an administrative technicality that frustrates lives," he says.
