Overview

• The royal decree, now in the BOE, sets an ordinary capacity of 32.6 places per 100,000 inhabitants and enables the redistribution of roughly 3,900 children from the Canary Islands and Ceuta to the peninsula and Melilla.
• Under the official distribution described by the government, Catalonia and the Basque Country receive no assigned minors, with Catalonia indicating it would accept 31 voluntarily.
• At least 10–11 autonomous communities, mostly PP-led, have announced or filed legal actions to try to block the measure, including Madrid’s appeal to the Supreme Court and moves by Castilla y León and Murcia.
• The Balearic government will request the extraordinary ‘contingencia migratoria’ to be excluded from reallocation, seeks precautionary suspension, and is studying temporary tents for first reception in Son Tous.
• Minister Ángel Víctor Torres says funding will be sufficient and confirms an interministerial meeting next Tuesday to initiate transfers, as timelines and operational logistics are still being worked out.
