Overview

• The initial distribution assigns 677 minors to Andalucía, 647 to Madrid and 571 to the Valencian Community, with no mandatory quota for the Basque Country and most of Catalonia, though Catalonia will receive 31 voluntarily.
• The government approved a €100 million fund to cover the first three months of reception and announced 110 additional places from September, with further support pledged for regions that exceed ordinary capacity.
• Official figures cite roughly 5,000 minors in Canarias for 737 ordinary places, about 500 in Ceuta for 27, and around 160 in Melilla for 28, underscoring the scale of the overload.
• Several regional governments, largely from the PP, plan to challenge the decree before the Supreme Court over financing and criteria; the Balearic Islands have filed a challenge and Madrid will appeal, while Castilla-La Mancha is weighing its options.
• Political tensions rose as the Basque lehendakari said about half the minors in Euskadi arrive by bus from the south, prompting calls with Andalucía, and in Madrid the central and regional governments traded accusations over alleged racism.
