Overview

  • The central government has detailed quotas assigning 3,975 unaccompanied minors from Canarias, Ceuta and Melilla to 14 peninsular regions.
  • Andalucía will receive the largest share with 677 placements followed by Madrid with 647 and the Valencian Community with 571.
  • Cataluña and País Vasco have been exempted from mandatory reception due to existing system pressures, although Catalonia has volunteered to take 31 minors.
  • Most Partido Popular-governed regions have formally rejected their assignments and lodged appeals with the Constitutional Court.
  • Transfers are set to begin in August following the Sectorial Conference, with the central government covering all relocation and three months of reception costs.
