Concierge Candelaria Delgado stated that a 500-place centre for minors will reopen in La Laguna on Tenerife next week. Overcrowding on El Hierro requires transporting people by ship and plane to the new facility.
Delays in segregation and file preparation mean the relocation process takes between 1.5 and 2 months. The Canary Islands Government aims to fulfil agreements with the central government to relieve the island.
