La Comunidad de Madrid no participará en la Sectorial de Infancia por incluir el reparto de menores extranjeros no acompañados.
The Comunidad de Madrid has announced that it will not attend the Sectorial Conference on Childhood and Adolescence this Thursday due to including the distribution of unaccompanied foreign minors among the agenda items, a point that was rejected in the conference held on July 8.
Sources from the Ministry of Family, Youth, and Social Affairs of the Comunidad de Madrid have informed Europa Press that Minister Ana Dávila will not be present at this meeting considering that the distribution is «illegal» and that the Government is «exploiting» migrant minors for «political gain and to maintain power.»
The Government will send 647 migrant minors to the Comunidad de Madrid and exclude Catalonia and the Basque Country from the distribution
Last week, Dávila sent a letter addressed to the Ministers of Youth and Childhood and Migrations, Sira Rego and Elma Saiz, criticizing various decisions of the central Government regarding migrant minors, such as the «arbitrary» distribution of over 4,000 minors in the Canary Islands or the 400 who will arrive in Pozuelo de Alarcón «without official communication.»
The Mayor of Pozuelo warns of the «overcrowding» of the migrant center and criticizes the lack of information
«There is no worse form of corruption than exploiting minors to maintain power. That is exactly what they are doing. Therefore, I urge you to immediately disavow these proposals, restore institutional respect, and prioritize the best interest of the child over your own political survival,» expressed the Minister in her letter.

The measure could be supported by other regions governed by the PP for considering that the Government intends to impose a «compulsory» and «illegal» distribution that violates the principle of territorial equality, as confirmed by several regional executives to EFE.
The meeting is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. under the chairmanship of the Minister of Youth and Childhood, Sira Rego, and was expected to be contentious, as some PP-governed regions had strongly opposed the Government’s proposal and have appealed to the Constitutional Court the decree in which it was approved.
The Government’s idea, already communicated to the regions in a preparatory meeting, is to relocate about 3,000 unaccompanied migrant minors from the Canary Islands, Ceuta, and Melilla to other territories, mostly to Andalusia, the Comunidad de Madrid, and the Valencian Community.
