• Migrants disappeared in the Atlantic, marking one of the largest migratory tragedies on the Spanish coast.
• This year, the death of 781 people is reported sailing towards the archipelago, not counting the most recent incident.
• The human drama exacerbates the demand for a political agreement that improves the situation in the Canary Islands, especially of underage migrants.
• The reception services are de facto collapsed, assisting more than 5,500 minors when their maximum capacity is 2,000.
• Negotiations between the government, PP, and Canarian Executive are in progress, requiring urgent resolutions.
• Migration management requires collaboration and intelligence, not demagogy and xenophobic policies of the far right.
• Remedying the situation of minors is essential, but long-term solutions are also necessary that go beyond the national sphere.
• In the first nine months of this year, The Archipelago received 30,808 irregular immigrants, the double equivalent to the same period of the year 2023.

Conclusion: The debate on migratory policy is an urgent matter. Pedro Sánchez is expected to address this challenge in his upcoming appearance in Congress, announced for the 9th.
