The government hurries the deadlines for the reception of the thousand of minors refugees ordered by the Supreme | Spain

The Government assures that it will host the thousand of minors refugees who live overcrowded in the Canary Islands, as ordered by the Supreme Court in a car on March 26, but will not imminently. Although the court gave a « non -extendable » period of 10 days to guarantee To the minor applicants for asylum access and permanence in the state reception system for this vulnerable group, the government still has room to fulfill it – no of the sources consulted knows how to specify how much – and everything points to it will hurry it. According to sources aware of the Interministerial Imigration Commission held between several ministers on Tuesday, allegations will be presented to the Supreme Auto in which it will be made clear that the measure will be complied with, but not before insisting that the State does not have the appropriate means to serve these children, that the guardianship will continue to be of the autonomous community or that the overcrowding that motivated the order will be reduced when the transfer will be reduced when the transfer of about 4,000 minors will Islands that will be voted on Thursday in Congress. At that meeting it was also agreed that, before any movement, a protocol will be signed with the Canary Islands government for the transfer of these minors, mostly fled from Mali. The Canarian executive interprets that this road map will delay compliance with a measure that considers urgent.

The car with which the Supreme ordered the Government to integrate this specific group of 1,221 children into the state reception network was a real script after more than a year of political contest to force communities to solidarity with border territories such as Canary Islands or Ceuta. When finally, on March 18, the Government assumed this trance and He achieved Junts’s commitment To introduce a change of the Foreigner Law that imposes the redistribution of unaccompanied foreign minors when certain territories are saturated, the Supreme Court pronounced with an unexpected car. The opinion responded to a request from the Canary Islands that, claiming the overcrowding level of its centers, considered that the State could assume its competencies in asylum to receive those minors who have requested protection or are pending. The Court proved him and, although he assumes that the competencies in childhood are autonomous, he reproaches that the state system to which they are entitled and avoid the overcrowding conditions has not been made available to these children.

The State Advocacy The car came to resort on April 3in a difficult movement to justify politically. While different ministers defended good collaboration with the Canarian government and appealed to all territories to be involved in the reception of minors, the legal department moved token. Without giving up the back of the matter – it is still thought that the reception of foreign minors alone is not only the competence of the State, but the network is not prepared to attend them under conditions-, the central government withdrew the next day in what has described as a « sample of good negotiating faith » with the Canaries.

In any case, the milestone of more relevance in this crisis will occur on Thursday, when the Royal Decree Law is voted in Congress that will impose by law the redistribution of minors who emigrate alone and that are concentrated in certain territories of entry. At the moment, everything indicates that the vote will go ahead, as already agreed with the parliamentary groups, with the exception of Vox and the PP, but the initiative needs the green light of most deputies.

The approval will be only the first step of another laborious process in which the government must define how many children and adolescents must go to each autonomous community. The calculation will be based, to a large extent, on the effort that has already been made in this matter and on which they come out harmed many of the autonomies governed by the PP. Meanwhile, the Interministerial Imigration Commission, among the agreements on Tuesday, has created a working group to coordinate everything related to the execution of the Royal Decree.
