Overview

• Seven Malian asylum-seeking minors are due to fly from the Canarias 50 center to mainland Spain on Sunday in the fourth transfer ordered under a Supreme Court mandate.
• Two relocations were carried out this week, including a Thursday flight of girls from Guinea, Senegal, Gambia, Côte d’Ivoire and Mali, as national and Canary officials coordinate small groups.
• The Youth and Childhood Ministry’s nationwide allocation is set to start on August 28, with quotas reported as 677 for Andalucía, 647 for Madrid, 571 for Comunidad Valenciana and 0 for the Basque Country, which several regions reject.
• Andalucía has filed a constitutional appeal over competencies, and Balearic president Marga Prohens says her government will ask the Supreme Court to suspend the distribution for the islands due to extreme overcrowding.
• The ministry has acknowledged the Basque Country as a ‘Frontera Norte’ territory, a designation not granted to Andalucía, while Canary president Fernando Clavijo urges faster transfers to relieve overcrowded centers.
