Participants included representatives from the main parliamentary groups, such as Pedro Álvarez, Amanda Fernández, Marta Carrió, Joana Mª Gomila, José María García and independent MP Agustín Buades. A separate meeting is expected to take place with VOX spokesperson Manuela Cañadas.
During the session, the importance of maintaining open communication channels across political forces was emphasized, ensuring a response that is coordinated, effective and tailored to the social realities of the islands. The minister highlighted the need to share information and work through consensus to safeguard individuals and families who may be most affected.
This initiative builds on previous engagements with public administrations and social organizations, forming part of a broader consultation process that will lead to the development of a package of social measures adapted to emerging needs. These actions are expected to be implemented promptly and adjusted according to the evolving international context.
The overarching goal is to strengthen institutional preparedness and ensure social protection in a context of uncertainty, with particular focus on supporting the most vulnerable groups.
