The Ministry of Youth and Childhood has once again formally requested the complete data on the reception of unaccompanied migrant children and adolescents from the autonomous communities this Tuesday.
This was highlighted after Monday’s Sectorial Conference on Childhood and Adolescence, marked by criticism from communities governed by the Popular Party for the «arbitrary and forced» criteria approved by the government.
«The Ministry seeks to urgently address the situation of migrant children in Canarias and Ceuta, so there is no reason not to provide this data,» said the Minister of Youth and Childhood, Sira Rego, who called for «national unity» from autonomous communities that have not yet sent complete data and requested their collaboration, referring to Aragón.
In this way, according to the Ministry, the regulatory processing of the decree-law for solidarity reception that «prioritizes the rights of children and does not leave any territory behind» continues, following its validation in the Congress of Deputies on April 11.
The collection of the requested data will be used to calculate the ordinary capacity of reception systems in the different autonomous communities, a preliminary step to the implementation of the Solidarity Response Plan for the extraordinary migrant children and unaccompanied adolescents contingency situation.
The Ministry led by Sira Rego first requested that the autonomous communities provide their reception data in March. However, after ten days to provide this information, Aragón did not communicate its figures and others like Madrid did so in a «general» and «asymmetric» manner.
URGENT PROCESSING OF THE DEVELOPMENT DECREE
In addition, the Council of Ministers approved on Tuesday the agreement authorizing the urgent administrative processing of the Decree that will develop the decree-law for the distribution of unaccompanied migrant minors.
The approval of the processing initiates the subsidiary mechanisms provided for in the decree-law for its full application. Among these mechanisms is the aforementioned Development Decree, which will establish the necessary actions in a standardized and guaranteed manner.
According to Youth and Childhood, «the urgency of this processing is based on the current saturation of several regional protection systems as well as the need to meet the deadlines set by the decree-law itself, which requires completing the necessary relocations within a maximum period of one year from its entry into force.»
