As in so many matters, in the cast of immigrant minors it does not rain to everyone. He did not do so in the first agreement last year to distribute three hundred of those who arrived in the Canary Islands, when Santiago Abascal decided unilaterally … Break all autonomic Vox coalition governments with the Popular Party (PP). And he did not do it this Tuesday, when the popular presidents made clear their veto to the decree of the government agreed with Junts per Catalunya. In fact, sources from the first opposition party referred to what happened in 2024 – then a voluntary or agreed distribution, and not a resolution of the Executive that must validate the Parliament, as now – to justify its rejection. «We accepted a voluntary cast in which there were no major differences between territories. For accepting it, Vox left the regional governments. The cast that, apparently, have agreed with Juns does not seem to follow these same proportions and that proves the partisan nature of the agreement, ”they said from Genoa.
On that occasion, the difference between Madrid and Catalonia was almost imperceptible and among other autonomies there were, at most, the eight percentage points of difference between Catalonia itself, which hosted 9 percent, and La Rioja, which received only 1 percent. That distribution – a minor than that raised now – was established according to the criteria agreed unanimously at the 2022 Childhood Sector Conference, which the Minister of Youth and Childhood, Sira Rego, and the president of the Canarian Government, Fernando Clavijo, recovered to finish a table for this extraordinary transfer. For a while to this part, given the silence that has been around this matter after that photo, when journalists asked Rego if he had closed the quotas by Autonomous Community, the head of Youth and Childhood assured that the criteria agreed “were weighing.”
The weighting of each of these criteria (population density, per capita income, unemployment and effort rate, among others) is what has caused the balance to be drastically leaning towards the Community of Madrid, which according to the projections that Juns advanced this Tuesday, would be the territory that must create the most new places for this extraordinary distribution, sete hundred according to the formation.
This calculation is the result of giving more value to the criterion of “previous effort” by the territories in recent years, sources from the Ministry of Youth explained to ABC. According to this change, it is now valued more than an autonomous community has sized its structural abilities to offer more places. This is the case of Catalonia, which currently has 25% of the total beds to host migrant childhood in Spain, compared to 10% of Madrid. Therefore, although both communities coincide almost identically in other criteria, the latter is on which the difference of almost seven hundred children is supported, since it is assumed that Catalonia has already made a greater effort. During his appearance on Tuesday, the Minister of Territorial Policy, Ángel Víctor Torres, said that this new weighting has not been done in a “arbitrary or craving.”
