The Government and the regional governments approve 25 million in aid for the care of migrant minors in Ceuta

The Spanish government and 14 autonomous communities have approved a 25 million euro extraordinary credit to care for migrant children in Ceuta. The decision was made at a sectoral conference on childhood and adolescence, which was not attended by Aragon, Extremadura, and Castile and León. The funds are intended to address the needs of unaccompanied minors in Ceuta, where a massive influx of migrants occurred on July 30.

Minister of Youth and Childhood Sira Rego criticized the absent communities, saying they had abandoned Ceuta's president, Juan Jesús Vivas, and that their absence was "lamentable". Rego also stated that the 25 million euros may not be enough and that her department is working on increasing the figure.
