THE Junta of Andalusiathrough the voice of its Minister of Social Inclusion, Youth, Family and Equality, Loles Lopezaccused the government of Pedro Sánchez of “breaking” the management of the reception centers for immigrant minors by “introducing through the back door, like Amazon packages,” to 515 minerals “under cover” of adultswhich obliges the Council to take care of them until the age of 25 without any type of state aid.
The Andalusian reception system, already “put to the test” by the migratory pressure on its coasts“makes bobbin lace and juggles” to be able to guarantee the care of all the minors who come into the community. If “six or seven” get into a boat, again the domino falls” and relocations are triggered in the different centers, explained Lopez.
This is why the advisor asked the government “funding” necessary to care for minors “who eat, who get dressed, who need medical and psychological care and to be in the educational field.”
Furthermore, with regard to the reception of unaccompanied minors CeutaLopez confirmed that in the next few days they will arrive eight furtherwhich will be added to the 12 already in the provinces of Huelva, Granada and Almeria.
“Like Amazon suitcases and packages”
In statements to the Almeria media to talk about a grant granted to the City Council to care for the homeless, the councilor once again accused the Sánchez government, which she accuses of “not recognizing or wanting to talk about” the 515 menas – figures The prosecutor’s office confirmed that “they boarded a plane and left here” to Andalusia as if they were adults. “It’s not something specific or exceptional”The advisor disfigured the central government, to which she reminded that she had been warning about this situation for more than six months.
“They are being treated like Amazon suitcases and packages“They are registered by plane and released in Andalusia,” denounced the advisor, who affirms that the Commission continues to take care of minors from the age of 18, although in other types of services. “We accompany them until the age of 25,” he stressed.

Regarding the approval last Tuesday in the Council of Ministers of 35 million euros for the autonomous communities for the reception of 400 minors and the transfer of 347 from the Canary Islands to the peninsula, López criticized the fact that this is what was already agreed at the sectoral conference on inclusion, social security and migration.
