Page adds to the communities of the PP and resorts to the distribution of migrant minors before the Constitutional | Spain

The Government of Castilla-La Mancha, chaired by the Socialist Emiliano García-Page, has joined the communities governed by the PP on Tuesday and takes The relocation of migrant minors to the Constitutional Court. The Governing Council has authorized to file an appeal for unconstitutionality against the Royal Decree Law that allows the distribution between autonomous communities of unaccompanied migrants who are overcrowded in the Canary Islands and Ceuta. The rule, with which the Executive hopes to start transfers in summer and that was Validated by the Congress of Deputies in Aprilalready accumulates a dozen resources before the guarantee body.

In the heart of the arguments used by the regional government against redistribution is financing. This was held by spokeswoman Esther Padilla at a press conference after this Tuesday’s meeting. « This government shares that solidarity does not understand geographical limits and less when we are talking about children, but welcoming it is not only to open the door, it is to offer decent conditions and, for that, it takes financing, » he said. « Castilla-La Mancha does not receive a euro to serve those more than 500 children and that has a cost; there are 26.6 million euros only the part of social welfare, also adding education, health … and they do not give us anything, » he said.

However, The redistribution of minors that the government promotes does contemplate resources For the receiving communities of minors. In fact, there are 100 million euros for that relocation. If the new minors imply that Castilla-La Mancha see its ordinary capacity overcome, you will receive resources for it. « If we turn it is because we cannot do it without financing and assume it would be to attend them badly or tell us where we remove the money; something that will feed the speech of the extreme right, » the spokeswoman insisted.

The administration of García-Page also argues that there is a “flagrant breakdown of the principle of coordination” between the State and the Autonomous Communities, since the regulations have been approved without consensus at the Sectorial Conference of Children and Adolescents. « We talk about lack of cooperation and broken the principle of institutional loyalty, » said Padilla.

Regional Government sources argue that they support the agreement that was made in 2024 between the PSOE, Sumar and the Canarian Government for redistribution, but that they do not accept what they consider “last minute changes imposed by Puigdemont”, in reference to the negotiation between the government and together so that the independence formation validated the norm in the congress. García-Page, in fact, embodies the most critical sector within the PSOE with the government’s pacts with the independentists. In the case of amnesty, it also took it to the Constitutional as they ended up doing all the communities of the PP.

The capacity of the Castilla-La Mancha reception is one of the most deficient, according to LAs the most recent figures that the Ministry of Youth and Childhood handlesand it is this criterion that will weigh on the number of minors that you will have to host. According to this data, that community – just as Cantabria, Castilla y León or Galicia – covers less than 30% of what would correspond to it. Thus, in the absence of profiling the exact data with the information provided by all communities, it would be the sixth community that more migrants would receive in redistribution.

Castilla-La Mancha thus adds to Aragon, Madrid, Murcia, Cantabria, Valencian Community, Balearic Islands, Extremadura, Andalusia and Castilla y León who have already resorted to the Constitutional or have announced that they will. In turn, the central government itself led Aragon also before the guarantee body for refusing to deliver the information about the migrants currently hosts, and studies the roads so that the other communities, which have sent inaccurate information, supply the data. Meanwhile, around 5,000 migrants who have arrived alone in Spain are overwhelmed in precarious facilities in the Canary Islands and Ceuta, waiting for a solution.
