The Director General of Culture and Cultural Heritage of the Canary Islands Government, Miguel Ángel Clavijo Redondo, has highlighted the need to "filter" the figure of Assets of Cultural Interest (BIC) in the Canary Islands, stating that "we cannot have so many." These remarks were made in Santa Cruz de La Palma during the 1st Forum on Governance of Cultural Heritage of the Canary Islands.

Currently, Canary Islands has 456 Assets of Cultural Interest. Clavijo believes that this designation, intended for the highest level of heritage protection, is becoming more of a "prestige symbol" than an effective "protection figure." Therefore, the aim is to "filter this figure in some way," a demand that, according to the director general, has been conveyed "from many areas."

During the forum, the technical forum for institutional cooperation was formally established, and its operating regulations were approved. Three working commissions were proposed: one for Assets of Cultural Interest, another for Cultural Heritage Inspection, and a third for Archaeological Planning. The objective is to improve coordination among administrations and establish common criteria for inspections and archaeological research, which should have stable funding and university collaboration.

Furthermore, Clavijo warned about the urgency of reinforcing the technical staff of the island administrations, particularly in councils like La Palma, due to the upcoming retirement of professionals specialized in cultural heritage.

The Minister of Universities, Science, Innovation, and Culture, Migdalia Machín, emphasized during the forum's opening that public governance "requires coordination, institutional trust, and information exchange," advocating for the consolidation of the body as a permanent space for cooperation.
