Mazón's Government Petitions the Supreme Court for a Decision on the Allocation of Unaccompanied Minors
The Government of Carlos Mazón has announced that it will file a contentious administrative appeal with the Supreme Court against the regulation governing the distribution of around 4,000 unaccompanied migrant minors from the Canary Islands. The appeal, which is only available to registered users, claims that the regulation infringes upon the Government's regional powers and lacks objective criteria.
The central government's decision to implement the distribution plan without coordinating or respecting the competencies of regional authorities is at the heart of the appeal. The Mazón government, along with the Community of Madrid and other autonomous communities governed by the PP, contends that the regulation was imposed in a "unilateral" manner, essentially bypassing their authority.
The appeal argues that the central government's action is an invasion of autonomous community powers. It also highlights the lack of financial support to manage the migrant minors, a crucial aspect that is not addressed in the regulation.
This legal challenge follows a prior appeal by eleven PP-governed autonomous communities to the Constitutional Court, reflecting a broad opposition to the government's plan.
