"Fernando Clavijo stated, 'This decision is not based on any technical criteria, nor have we been provided with sufficient information to maintain a message of calm and guarantee the safety of the population in the Canary Islands.'"
"'We cannot accept decisions taken behind the backs of the Canarian institutions and without sufficient information to the population,' Clavijo emphasized in a post on X."
The regional government of the Canary Islands, led by Fernando Clavijo, opposes the docking of a luxury cruise ship affected by hantavirus. Clavijo expressed concerns over safety conditions and the lack of technical criteria or sufficient information to ensure public safety. He questioned the inability to evacuate passengers to their home countries from Praia International Airport in Cape Verde. Clavijo emphasized that decisions should not be made without involving Canarian institutions and has requested an urgent meeting with Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, as ultimate authority lies with Madrid.
