Fernando Calvijo, head of the local government of the Canary Islands, announced on Tuesday, November 10, that between November 10 and 10, 7,432 migrants entered the islands. He warned against increasing immigration from the Atlantic route. According to Clavijo, the authorities have already received warnings and information about the increased movement of boats from West Africa.
