The PP communities will support the first meeting with Minister Rego about the minors from Ceuta despite Vox's rejection

El Senado, de mayoría absoluta popular, mantiene las comparecencias de varios miembros del Gobierno pese a su negativa a no acudir a la cita

Translated from Spanish Read in Spanish

The reception of hundreds of unaccompanied foreign minors who have arrived in Ceuta, and the position of the PP and Vox in the autonomous regions where they are in power, will face their first test on Thursday. The Minister for Youth and Childhood, Sira Rego, has called a technical meeting for that day in order to address the exceptional crisis in the autonomous city and prepare for a future Sectoral Conference focused on the massive arrivals.

The national leadership of the Popular Party announced on Monday that the representatives of the territories where they govern alone will attend the meeting —as confirmed to EL PAÍS by sources from several regional governments—, despite Vox's outright rejection. The far-right party has competence in this area in Extremadura, Aragon and Castile and León and, with the aim of putting as many obstacles as possible in the way of the transfer of the children and young people to the Peninsula, has already stated that it will not take part in the negotiations.
