Overview

• The regional government led by Alfonso Rueda has formally filed an unconstitutionality appeal against the royal decree-law on distributing unaccompanied migrant minors.
• Galicia’s Consello Consultivo issued a legal opinion arguing the decree infringes on autonomous powers in social assistance and child protection.
• Under the central government’s allocation formula Galicia would be required to house up to 864 minors, more than three times its current capacity of 244 places.
• Conselleira Fabiola García warns that imposing unfunded quotas risks overwhelming the region’s care system and insists on prior planning and agreed financing.
• Madrid, Andalusia and Castilla-La Mancha have also challenged the decree, deepening a national dispute over regional autonomy and central authority.
