The Canarian leader recounts the "great frustration" experienced during the intense days following the decision to allow the MV Hondius cruise ship, infected with hantavirus, into Canarian waters. Clavijo laments the "lack of sleep" and the "annoyance" caused by the absence of guaranteed information to protect the safety of the archipelago's population.

The president felt frustrated with the Government of Spain and the three involved ministers, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, Mónica García, and Ángel Víctor Torres, whom he accuses of making "unilateral decisions" without explaining their reasoning to the Canary Islands. He points out that the lack of response to the questions raised by the archipelago generated a "silence" that Canarians did not deserve.

Clavijo compares the situation to a "family father" asking for guarantees before accepting ten potentially infected individuals into his home. "My home, as president, is the Canary Islands, and what I ask is to do things right, with information, to be supportive," he stated, criticizing the State for "ignoring" this approach.

The president also described the incident of a US passenger who tested weakly positive and was not reported to the Canary Islands as "deliberate concealment." "So much so that they evacuated him individually, separate from the rest of the passengers," he noted, questioning the "insistence on not conducting tests" in Cape Verde despite the risk of contagion.

Despite the ship's departure for the Netherlands, Clavijo asserts that "we still don't know" why PCR tests were not performed in Cape Verde or why evacuation could not take place there. He criticizes the State for citing impediments of International Maritime Law that, according to him, did not apply as the vessel was in the waters of a sovereign country.

The Canarian leader regrets that the State "did not listen to our experts," whom they "contemptuously disregarded," and recalls that the Canary Islands have "very expert" personnel in health protocols. The "lack of loyalty" was constant, even preventing him from answering questions from the president of the Tenerife Island Council and the mayor of Granadilla.

Clavijo also criticized the delay in a phone call from President Pedro Sánchez, suggesting that "he probably wasn't interested in talking to me because for him Spain is a federal state, except for the part of the Canary Islands." He compared this attitude to his own action of calling the president of the Gran Canaria Island Council, Antonio Morales, during an emergency, describing the ministers' attitude as "very incorrect and disrespectful."

Acknowledging errors in his Saturday night statements, where he ordered the prohibition of the cruise ship's entry, Clavijo stated that "the forms were not the most appropriate, but the substance of what I defended was." He explained that the authorization to dock is the responsibility of the Port Authority, which includes the Autonomous Community, and that due to the lack of information, he requested not to authorize docking.

Finally, regarding the possibility of resorting to legal action, the president indicated that the Canary Islands Government's Legal Services are analyzing the case to make a decision.
