The political tension between Spain's central government and the Popular Party (PP) has escalated over the handling of the migrant crisis in the Canary Islands.

The PP has suspended negotiations with the government, demanding that Spain seek assistance from the European Union to address the issue.

This decision comes after a planned meeting between PP's Miguel Tellado and Minister of Territorial Policy Ángel Víctor Torres was canceled.

The PP accuses the government of refusing EU help and delegating the crisis management to regional authorities, which they claim is politically motivated.

Meanwhile, the government insists it is working in line with EU agreements and accuses the PP of using the situation to create political friction.

The disagreement highlights the ongoing struggle to find a unified approach to managing the influx of migrants, with the government proposing a distribution based on population size, while the PP calls for broader EU involvement.
