New sentence, and it is already the seventh, against the mayor of Fuenlabrada for the La Cantueña menas center

The regional and municipal administrations of Fuenlabrada continue to face each other in court over the reception center for unaccompanied immigrant minors of La Cantueña, in the town of the Madrid metropolitan area. This week a seventh ruling was announced in favor of the thesis of the Community of Madrid and against those of the City Council led by Javier Ayala. In this case, it is the Superior Court of Justice of Madrid (TSJM) that rejects the appeal of the council that sought to suspend the works on the juvenile center, and also orders the City Council to pay the costs.

The counselor of the Presidency and spokesman for the regional Executive, Miguel Ángel García, congratulated himself on the ruling on social networks: “This is the seventh judicial decision that the mayor of Fuenlabrada has lost, who in this matter has behaved like the dog in the manger. “, said. In the same message, he asked the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, “to put a stop to the immigration chaos in Spain.”

The regional government warned last April that, in view of the avalanche of unaccompanied immigrant minors who were arriving in Madrid, it needed another reception center, as the two in the capital, in Hortaleza and Casa, were full. of Field. He decided to do it on a building and plot called La Cantueña, given years ago by the City Council of that town. The municipal government rejected the idea because it considered the space inappropriate for use and the size of the center too large for the integration of these minors.

Since then, he has been trying for months to stop the center’s works in court, and trying to reverse the transfer of the space on the grounds that it applies to uses different from those agreed upon. The regional government is winning this legal battle, while the center is already open and has about a hundred minors housed there.
