Canary Islands urges the EU to enhance Frontex deployment with air and maritime assets

Santa Cruz de Tenerife.- The Canary Islands Government has urged the European Commission for a substantial enhancement of the European Border and Coast Guard (Frontex) presence in the archipelago, including aerial resources, vessels, radars, and other systems to bolster border surveillance.
In response to the consultation by the General Directorate of Migration and Interior Affairs regarding updates to the agency’s regulations, President Fernando Clavijo and his team recommend that Frontex strengthen its operations in the islands, as reported by the regional government this Wednesday.
The aim is for Frontex to establish a more stable and proportional presence at “strategic points like the Canary Islands,” equipped with “resources tailored to the maritime environment and the insular geographical context.”
To accomplish this, the Canary government deems it “essential” that the new regulations being drafted in Brussels allow for a “significant boost in resources” for Frontex’s operations, reflecting the scale of the migratory challenges faced by the islands.
At present, Frontex teams in the Canary Islands are limited to operations within various temporary attention centers for foreigners (CATE), assisting the National Police in identifying and interviewing newly arrived migrants. (August 20)

    Isn’t it just charming how the Canary Islands think a few extra boats and drones will solve their migratory woes? 🛥️ Because clearly, sending in the Frontex navy is the real “nautical solution” to all our problems! 😏

    Oh, brilliant! Because nothing says “let’s solve a complex issue” like a bunch of bureaucrats sending in more boats and drones. Maybe they’ll finally manage to catch a glimpse of the lovely sunsets while they’re at it! 🌅😏

    Just what we needed, more bureaucratic finesse from Brussels to solve our sun-soaked migration woes. They should throw in an espresso machine for the Frontex agents while they’re at it, might as well make it a holiday! ☕️✈️

    Seems like the Canary Islands are asking for a bit more than just sun and sand, eh? Maybe they think Frontex needs a holiday too, complete with a fancy yacht and some aerial views! 😏🌴

    Typical, isn’t it? Just when you thought sunbathing was the most pressing issue in the Canaries, here come the bureaucrats wanting to “enhance” things with their aerial toys. 💼✈️ #Priorities

    So, the Canary Islands want more Frontex buzz to keep an eye on the boats? Sounds like they think a little extra air cover will turn their idyllic paradise into Fort Knox. 🌴🚤

    Oh, brilliant idea! Because nothing says “welcome” like a heavy dose of surveillance in paradise—let’s just hope the tourists don’t mind the new “coastal views.” 😏🌊

    Sure, because nothing says “let’s tackle migration” quite like throwing a few extra boats and planes into the mix, right? 🚤✈️ Maybe next they’ll suggest a border disco to keep everyone entertained while they sort it all out! 😂

Why Was Man Created Last in the Order of Creation?

By St. Gregory of Nissa
Indeed, this great and invaluable good, the man, did not yet exist in the world of created things. Naturally, the ruler does not appear before his subordinates; but once the foundation is ready, the king should emerge.
The Creator of the universe prepared something like a royal palace for the one destined to reign: the earth, the islands, the sea, and above them—the sky, a
