The Plenary of the Constitutional has decided to knock down the protocol that the Canary Islands Government and Canarian coalition imposed in September last year to regulate the reception of migrant minors. A protocol, suspended for months in a precautionary way by the courts at the request of the Prosecutor’s Office, which forced minors to go through more procedures and slowing down, in practice, their entry into the protection system.
As the EuropaPress agency has advanced, the Plenary has unanimously decided to partially estimate the government’s appeal and cancel the resolution of the General Directorate of Child Protection and the families of September 10 of last year that established that territorial protocol.
The Central Government decided to bring this protocol before the Court of Guarantees in understanding that there was a conflict of powers and that Fernando Clavijo’s executive had legislated in exclusive matters of the State. The resource questions three key points of the protocol, including the one that conditions the reception of the child to contribute a large amount of documentation on their situation.
The Superior Court of Justice of the Canary Islands has already suspended the protocol in a precautionary manner and the Constitutional did so when the government appeal admitted to process.
In parallel, the Central Executive and the Canarian government have been negotiating for a timely cast of 4,500 minors from the islands and from Ceuta with “practically the same” criteria already agreed in 2022 during the sector with “some corrections”. In the case of the islands, social services serve more than 5,800 minors.
