Overview

• Spain published a royal decree in the BOE that establishes ordinary capacity by region and mandates redistribution of unaccompanied minors.
• The allocations send the largest shares to Andalucía (677), Madrid (647) and the Valencian Community (571), totaling 1,895 minors across the three.
• The Ayuso government filed a new Supreme Court challenge, its third legal action on the issue, alleging competence overreach, inadequate financing and unequal treatment.
• The government will convene an interministerial commission on September 2 to coordinate logistics after transfers planned to begin on August 28 were delayed.
• Government sources indicated minors will travel with social educators and that police and juvenile prosecutors could intervene if a receiving region refuses custody.
