The organization of Pope Leo XIV's visit to the Canary Islands, scheduled for June 11th and 12th, faces a significant logistical challenge due to the delay in processing an official request. The Government Delegation must formally ask the Government of the Canary Islands to suspend classes, non-essential medical appointments, and judicial hearings in Gran Canaria and Tenerife, a procedure that has not yet been completed.

This communication delay between administrations creates uncertainty regarding the final mobility and security plan, which is crucial for the operation's success. The suspension of public services, which could also affect companies by promoting teleworking, and the lack of a finalized mobility plan for Las Palmas de Gran Canaria further complicate planning.

Despite the absence of a formal request, the Government Delegate in the Canary Islands, Anselmo Pestana, confirmed the rescheduling of non-urgent appointments and the reinforcement of medical and emergency teams. However, these cancellations could worsen healthcare waiting lists, which are already affected by the ongoing doctors' strike.

Bishop José Mazuelos has expressed concern over the lack of definition in the mobility and traffic plan, calling it "key to ensuring security." He urges the Canary Islands institutions to expedite the communication of planned measures to reassure the public and complete an unprecedented security operation.

A security advance team of five people will arrive this Sunday to inspect key locations such as Arguineguín and the Gran Canaria Stadium. The president of the Cabildo of Gran Canaria, Antonio Morales, has also stressed the need for urgent decisions on mobility, advocating for reduced traffic and the promotion of teleworking.
