The Spanish Government-Community Sectoral Conference on Children will focus on minors in Ceuta and those responsible for Vox will not attend

Minister Rego has criticized the opposition to this credit of 25 million. The autonomous presidents of the PP who carry Vox's childhood portfolios "elect Vox and exclude Ceuta and (Juan Jesús) Vivas as president." 

FOTODELDÍA CEUTA, 09/08/2026.- Decenas de madres, jóvenes y niñas que han decidido establecerse, de manera temporal para sentirse más seguras, en el espacio habilitado por la Asociación de Vecinos de Sidi Embarel, un campo de fútbol al aire libre en la barriada de La Reina, en la periferia de Ceuta. Se tumban en el suelo para descansar, sobre mantas que han cedido los vecinos o alfombras que una mezquita les ha dejado. Hay mucha precariedad: no disponen de duchas, solo tienen un baño y la mayor parte del recinto no cuenta con sombra a pesar del fuerte sol en las horas centrales del día. A pesar de las carencias, para Wiam que tiene de 23 años y llegó a la ciudad nadando,, compartir espacio de forma exclusiva con otras mujeres y niños ha sido determinante para superar el impacto emocional de la travesía."Mi padre quería abusar de mí en Marruecos y me amenazó con matarme si volvía. Necesitaba huir de él y cambiar mi vida", relata a EFE sobre la pesadilla de la que logró escapar. EFE/Laura Rincón

The Ministry of Youth and Children will meet with the Autonomous Communities on Thursdayat a sectoral conference  at which a vote will be taken on the transfer of EUR 25 million to Ceuta for the care of minors remaining in the autonomous city following the massive entry of 30 and 31 July.

The Spanish Government estimates that 1,500 minors have so far been identified in Ceuta and is working on a plan to transfer 500 girls to other Autonomous Communities as a matter of urgency.

This Thursday's meeting is expected to be tense due to the political climate of these days. Unlike the committee held a few weeks ago, the Children's Officials of Aragón, Castilla y León and Extremadura will not attend; in these communities there is the PP in the government and Vox carries the Children's sections.



In two letters addressed to the Minister for Youth and Children, Sira Rego, Vox's advisers confirmed their plea to the Spanish Government and announced that they will challenge judicially the possibility of transferring minors from Ceuta.
 
Rego has criticized that by opposing this $25 million loan, the PP's self-governing presidents who carry Vox's childhood portfolios "elect Vox and exclude Ceuta and (Juan Jesús) President Vivas." 

In addition to the transfer of EUR 25 million from the Spanish Government to Ceuta, an information point on the situation of migrant children in the autonomous city to be voted on by the Autonomous Communities has been included on the agenda, following the opposition of the communities governed by the PP to this debate.

The Government gave priority to the return of "adults and minors" who have migrated to Ceuta, but recalled the need to respect the best rights of the child as it lays down special conditions. The Ministry of Bears is working on a plan to relocate 500 children from the autonomous city of Ceuta to the peninsula.

Amnesty International, for its part, has called for the removal of minors from the "political struggle" and has urged the autonomous governments to facilitate the relocation of children who have migrated to Ceuta alone.

Melgosa calls for a "broad vision" in the face of the migration crisis and claims the role of the Basque Country as the Northern Border

The Councillor for Welfare, Youth and Demographic Challenge has urged the State and the European Union to recognise their responsibility for a migration crisis which, in his view, has a geopolitical dimension and Melgosa has announced that he will meet next week (3 September) with Minister Elma Saiz, who will defend the Basque Country's increased migration powers and the need to recognise its role as the Northern Border.
