Vox may be committing a hate crime by demanding that unaccompanied foreign minors stay away from one of the bus stops located next to a reception center in Madrid’s Hortaleza neighborhood. This is what the Ministry of Youth and Children predicts, which will study this possibility in the event of the success of the proposal, which will reach the plenary session of the district this Thursday afternoon in the form of a motion.
The central government spoke of “racist movements” which “continue with concern”, because it considers that “the use of public institutions to defend the violation of children’s rights” is at stake, underline sources from the led ministry. by Rego. .
The initiative put forward by El País is included in item 17 of the agenda and the plenary session will begin in Hortaleza at five in the afternoon. It is therefore in the coming hours that we will know whether Vox’s project will come to fruition or not.
In any case, it will be difficult for them to gather support. A day before the plenary session, the mayor of Madrid himself, José Luis Martínez-Almeida, denied that his party, the PP, agrees with the “messages of insecurity” of Vox, which accuses the miners of reception center modify the environment and generate this sensation among the neighbors.
At the same time, he assured that the municipal council he leads will pursue any “inappropriate use” of bus shelters, “whether by unaccompanied minors or by anyone”. The same day, Minister Sira Rego was on an official visit to Valencia, to visit some of the areas devastated by DANA on October 29. It was at these times that they echoed the controversy of which, they say, they will be aware throughout the afternoon.
The proposal that Vox will present to the Hortaleza plenary session exposes verbatim an alleged “inappropriate occupation by unaccompanied minors of the waiting benches of neighboring EMT bus stops” in the area adjacent to the neighborhood’s supervised juvenile center.
According to the party in its proposal, this circumstance is a reality and represents an “increase in insecurity” or a reason for “intimidation” for the rest of the neighbors and users of public transport, highlighting the case of girls or elderly people. They even speak of an “increase in waste, bags and dirt” which, in theory, affects the image of the neighborhood. If the motion passes, it will remain to be seen whether the central government will finally take the legal action it promises.
