He suggested returning Moroccan minors currently under Extremadura’s care to Morocco, citing that Morocco has opened its doors for repatriation. Fernández emphasized that Extremadura’s system for hosting minors is nearly collapsed and that the regional government will adhere to its agreement with the Popular Party to resist further distributions, especially after the situation in Ceuta. The delegate of the Spanish government in Extremadura, José Luis Quintana, responded by stating that international relations are the exclusive competence of the state and that the central government is handling the situation in Ceuta.

This decision marks a clear distinction between the PP and Vox, which has stated it will not attend the meeting. The PP’s vicesecretary, Elías Bendodo, emphasized the importance of listening and engaging in dialogue, even if they disagree with the policies being discussed. The conflict between the PP and Vox over this issue dates back to 2024, when Vox members resigned from regional governments due to disagreements over the reception of migrant minors. Currently, Vox holds vice-presidential roles in four regions and oversees child-related responsibilities in three of them. The Spanish government has reminded the regions that they cannot refuse to participate but could delay transfers by appealing individual cases.

El PaísIndependent🔒CenterFactual 85Objective 7017 days agoThe Spanish government is preparing to distribute unaccompanied migrant minors among regions, with the Popular Party (PP) seemingly accepting this arrangement despite previous resistance. Unlike the past two years, when the influx of migrants to the Canary Islands overwhelmed local resources, the PP has now decided not to challenge the government over this issue after a large number of migrants arrived in Ceuta. Officials believe that, despite agreements with the far-right Vox party, PP-led regions will comply with their assigned share, as they have done throughout the last year. The process is expected to take weeks or months, but the government has already begun initiating the first formal steps.

During a recent virtual meeting between the Ministry of Youth and Childhood, headed by Sira Rego, and regional executives, tensions arose over the handling of the situation in Ceuta. The PP-led regions, Castilla y León, Aragón, and Extremadura, boycotted the meeting due to the presence of Vox, which manages child-related policies in those areas. While all parties agreed to address the distribution of €25 million allocated to assist Ceuta during the upcoming conference, the PP regions refused to include broader discussions on the care of migrant children in Ceuta in the agenda. They argued that the central government had failed to provide sufficient prior information and data on the current situation, including the number of unattended minors.

Vox's representatives, including José María Figaredo, claim that their coalition governments in several regions intend to oppose the mandatory redistribution of these children, citing differences from past situations where PP supported such measures.
