Galicia to Open Monforte Center for Unaccompanied Minors Despite Molotov Attack

The regional government sets immediate security upgrades to enable a phased opening.

Overview

  • Social policy chief Fabiola García visited the damaged Prodeme building and confirmed the facility will host unaccompanied migrant minors as planned.
  • The Xunta will immediately hire private security, ask the Monforte town hall to reinforce Local Police and install cameras, and seek additional National Police presence.
  • Officials will repair the damage now and open progressively in the coming weeks as transfers arrive, with 14 tutelage-transfer files currently open.
  • The regional executive cites a central-government order to send 317 minors to Galicia as the driver for creating specific centers due to a lack of residential places.
  • An investigation into the Molotov attack remains active with no suspects identified, while political leaders trade accusations and the Monforte spokespersons’ board issued a formal anti-hate condemnation.
