After the cancellation of the meeting scheduled for Wednesday, April 8, 2026, Delgado stated that while autonomous communities are free to act as they deem appropriate, in a democratic state, it is logical to participate in established forums for debate and protest.
“"What we have asked the minister is that, since we could not hold this Sectoral Conference today, the Council of Ministers expedite the decision-making process to approve this new Royal Decree that supports this new extension and allows us to continue working."
The councillor described the situation as a 'déjà vu' of what happened in July last year when the same issue was to be addressed. Given this recurrence, Delgado anticipates that the Government will have to continue issuing royal decrees similar to those already approved, reflecting the new migratory contingency with updated data for 2026.
Delgado reaffirmed her department's commitment to continue working under the regulations approved in Congress a year ago, which supports the management of new arrivals and the transfers of minors exceeding the agreed reception capacity. She highlighted the good coordination with the sub-delegations of the Government in the Canary Islands and collaboration with the ministries of Youth and Childhood and Social Security and Migration.
Despite the absence of most PP-led communities (with the exception of Ceuta), the Canarian councillor emphasized that she has the full support of the Government of the Canary Islands, where the Popular Party and Coalición Canaria share power, and that they continue to work in line with the established pact.
