Transparency and participation in the development of the administrative organisation of La Graciosa

Abstract

Thanks to Law 1/2018, of 5 November, on the reform of the Statute of the Canary Islands (hereinafter, the EAC 2018), as well as the motion passed by the Spanish Senate in June 2018, La Graciosa has been legally recognised as an island.

The island is an entity to which our Constitution recognises autonomy and to which a certain administrative organisation is attributed for the management of its particular interests, so we wonder how this recognition has affected the organisation of La Graciosa.

However, the legislation does not offer any options to accommodate the insularity of La Graciosa. The consequence of this is the need to find a solution for the development of the administrative organisation of this island within the limited margin provided by our local regime regulations.
