The Parliament of the Canary Islands will hold a government control session to address critical issues such as the hantavirus health crisis, regional funding, and crime in the archipelago.

During the session, the president of the Canary Islands, Fernando Clavijo, will respond to various questions posed by parliamentary groups. Key discussion points include the situation arising from the Antarctic cruise ship MV Hondius and the measures implemented to safeguard the health of its passengers.
Clavijo is expected to provide a detailed report on the international coordination mechanisms activated to manage the vessel's situation and prevent a potential hantavirus outbreak among those confined on board.
In addition to the health emergency, the parliamentary agenda will include discussions on the autonomous community's funding and an analysis of crime rates in the Canary Islands, reflecting the broad range of challenges facing the regional administration.
