Sánchez against everyone: prepares the transfer of 500 minors to the peninsula

The Ministry of Youth and Children of the Government of Pedro Sánchez is preparing an urgent transfer to the Peninsula of approximately 500 migrant minors (mainly girls) who are in Ceuta after the massive entry registered at the end of July.

This measure has generated a strong political confrontation and the rejection of the opposition, as well as tensions with the position defended by the European institutions.

 

The key points of the conflict

  • Alternative reception formulas: To circumvent the refusal of several autonomous communities to voluntarily take in minors, the Ministry led by Sira Rego is considering using child protection organizations. In this way, these entities would assume the care of minors in resources of the Peninsula without the need to transfer legal guardianship to the regional governments. The plan also continues to include the route of a royal decree-law to establish a binding foster care or foster care.
  • Opposition of the Popular Party: The PP has rejected the proposal put forward by the Executive. Its spokeswoman in the Senate, Alicia García, defended that the "best interests of the child" consists of returning to their families or to the protection systems of their country of origin (Morocco), also accusing the central government of lack of resources in the autonomous regions.
  • Discrepancy with the European Union: Various sectors and media, such as Euronews or La Razón reports, point out that this manoeuvre clashes with the guidelines of the European Union, which supports the return to Morocco of people who remain illegally in Ceuta as a priority.
