Likewise, after coordination with the Ministry of Education, two educational centers have been enabled as places of care for unaccompanied minors who arrived last week in the Autonomous City, especially girls.
The Minister of Youth and Childhood, Sira Rego, is expected to travel to Ceuta in the coming days. Sources from her ministry emphasize that the Immigration Law, after the 2025 amendment, contemplates binding and supportive reception by the rest of the autonomous communities of the minors.
The 25 million euros are added to the 5.5 million euros that were distributed at the sectoral childhood conference last July. “It is good proof of the commitment, that the Government of Spain is supporting Ceuta and, of course, also undoubtedly placing special emphasis on the most vulnerable,” highlighted the spokesperson minister, Elma Saiz, this Tuesday, in statements to the media.

In addition, the Minister of Inclusion has appealed “to the responsibility of all autonomous communities, of course also those governed by the Popular Party” to provide care to these minors.
Asked if they received an alert from Morocco days before the massive entry, Saiz assured that “at no time” was there “any record of any report warning” of the “magnitude of this unprecedented event,” although she acknowledged that “there was obviously information about a spike in arrivals typical of this summer period.” “It is an unprecedented event to which, by the way, an unprecedented response has also been given, which I not only want to share and highlight, but the President of the European Commission herself, Mrs. Von der Leyen, applauded and praised,” she insisted.
Furthermore, when asked if there is no reproach to be made to Morocco, the minister emphasized that this “good management” of the crisis “would not have been possible without the collaboration of Morocco.” The minister defended that “the migration policy of the Government of Spain always places human rights at the center” and insisted that “once again Spain has been up to the task.”
