The Parliament of Canarias is holding a plenary session today, April 15, 2026, to address the complex economic situation and the requests from the Government of Canarias to the State, amidst global uncertainty.

Today's parliamentary session continues the debate initiated yesterday, focusing on the economic repercussions looming on the horizon. The president of the Government of Canarias, Fernando Clavijo, had already anticipated a “very complicated” outlook due to the consequences of the war in Iran.

"A "very complicated" horizon laden with storm clouds."

To confront this situation, Clavijo has requested from the State greater spending flexibility, increased borrowing capacity, and an injection of 1.650 million euros. These resources are considered essential for the Archipelago to prepare for the threat of an inflationary storm that could intensify due to the conflict in Iran.
Among the key items on today's agenda is the intervention of the Minister of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries, and Food Sovereignty, Narvay Quintero. His presentation will focus on the environmental and climate measures included in the Strategic Plan for the Common Agricultural Policy (PEPAC), a topic of great relevance for the primary sector in the Canary Islands.
