Forty eight hours After of the refusal of EU aid, the Minister of Territorial Policy and Democratic Memory, Angel Victor Torrestold the media that “the PP criticizes the government for management of minors unaccompanied (MENAS), but how many places has the European Union offered to accommodate migrants that the government has refused? I already told you the answer: zero“.
“Must amend section 35because it changes protection and pushes us to respond as a country to the migratory phenomenon”, this is why “I urge the PP to rectify and look for solutions instead of focusing on clashes. I ask you to change your attitude, because, at the end of your efforts, we always find your refusal.”
Torres continued to criticize the Popular Party and asserted that “it seems that They prefer that the government faces defeat promote measures that benefit the population”. He also declared during the press conference that “it is essential to establish a minimum number of places for the care of migrant minors in each community.”
These statements took place after Ángel Victor Torres I will reject Friday take the hand that Brussels extends to facilitate the departure of unaccompanied immigrant minors who overwhelm the reception centers of the Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla in an interview with The time of 1of RTVE. The reason given by the Executive is that they must be first the rest of the autonomous communities those who take matters into their own hands.
This rejection caused the failure of open negotiations with the People’s Party and the Government of the Islands when the first canceled the meeting called for this Monday. “Until the Minister of Territorial Policy, Ángel Víctor Torres, corrects his statements this Friday, there will be no more nominations for agree on immigration law reform“PP sources told this newspaper.
The minister responded that it made no sense “to demand that France, Belgium or Germany take in minors” simply because in Spain “some Autonomous Communities do not want to accept reception“, thus using the EU’s offer to attack the autonomy governed by the PP.
