Overview

• The facility will be housed in Monforte de Lemos at the Francisco Suárez residential building operated by the social entity Prodeme, with capacity for 80 places.
• The regional government says Madrid plans to transfer 317 unaccompanied minors to Galicia, plus 15 asylum-seeking minors ordered by the Supreme Court.
• The Xunta is seeking additional locations to accommodate the remaining youths and reports receiving six case files to start the process.
• Officials argue the transfers come without adequate state funding and estimate costs could reach up to €30 million per year.
• Opposition parties BNG and PSdeG denounce the plan as creating segregated facilities and question the government’s motives, while the PP says Galicia will meet its obligations and is asking for coordination.
