At least ten autonomous communities will attend this Thursday, August 27, the Sectoral Conference on Childhood and Adolescence, which will address the extraordinary credit of 25 million euros intended for the care of migrant minors in Ceuta, following the massive arrival of foreigners on July 30, as well as the possible distribution among the autonomous communities of these minors. And, for now, three others have confirmed that they will be absent from the meeting: Castilla y León, Extremadura, and Aragón, while the Balearic Islands, the Community of Madrid, and La Rioja have, for the moment, avoided confirming their presence.

As announced a few weeks ago, Junts per Catalunya has once again submitted this Wednesday in Congress the bill to delegate immigration-related powers to the Generalitat that it agreed with the PSOE last year and that was rejected in September 2025 by the votes of the PP, Vox, Podemos, and two deputies from Sumar. The post-convergence party thus recovers an initiative they consider a current commitment with the socialists, doing so amid the migration crisis in Ceuta, while maintaining their rejection that Catalonia should have to host minors who have recently arrived in the autonomous city.

The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, will finally appear before the Plenary of the Congress on September 3 to report on the Government’s management of the migration crisis in Ceuta, following the serious incidents recorded since July 30. The setting of the date culminates an undisguised standoff in the Board of Spokespersons, where the initial intention of La Moncloa — which requested to set the appearance for the 9th — clashed with the pressure from several parliamentary groups, led by the PNV. Jeltzale sources have demanded that the meeting be “immediate” and “without the need to reschedule already planned appearances,” once the “situation of interest for national security” in the autonomous city was declared.

The royal decree approved this Tuesday by the Council of Ministers and published this Wednesday in the Official State Gazette (BOE) that declares the “situation of interest for national security in the city of Ceuta,” with a single command and crisis committee, which will initially be in effect until December 31, does not imply an assumption of the limited powers of the autonomous city by the central Government. In other words, far from implying a kind of intervention, like that which would be entailed by the application of article 155 of the Constitution, the Government maintains the constitutionally and statutorily established powers but assumes control of the management of the material and human resources necessary to resolve the crisis.
