In a bid to address the growing pressure of unaccompanied minor migrants, the leaders of the Canary Islands and the Basque Country have proposed an urgent solution at the Conference of Presidents in Santander.
Fernando Clavijo and Imanol Pradales are advocating for a "reparto extraordinario" or extraordinary distribution of these minors across Spain's autonomous communities.
This initiative aims to bypass the current legislative gridlock and implement a decree-law within three months, based on a university study's distribution criteria.
The proposal seeks to gain broad support from other regions and political parties, emphasizing the need for a fair and coordinated approach to migration.
Both leaders highlight their regions' roles as key entry points for migrants and stress the urgency of a strategic migration plan to ensure equitable responsibility sharing.
