According to data from the Central Government, there are still approximately 6,500 adult, and 2,200 minor, irregular immigrants in temporary accommodation in the islands, after the central Government has transferred 18,800 of them out of the islands, as explained by the Government delegate in the Canary Islands, Anselmo Pestana, in a radio interview this morning.
Pestana was answering open questions from journalists, and said that these exits are taking place through three channels:
- By being transferred by the Government to mainland Spain.
- By their own means as they have all their documentation in order.
- By returns to their country of origin.
