The Minister of Territorial Policy and Democratic Memory, Ángel Víctor Torres, led a crucial teleconference to discuss territorial coordination among the various delegations of the Spanish government. This virtual meeting focused on several strategic topics, highlighting the reform of the Law on the Rights and Freedoms of Foreigners in Spain.
The reform, formalized in the recent Council of Ministers through a Royal Decree-Law, promises to be a milestone in the country's immigration policy. One of its most notable objectives is to offer a structural and coherent response across all autonomous communities in the management of unaccompanied foreign minors. These minors, who are mainly found in the regions experiencing the greatest migratory pressure, require coordinated and effective care that this reform seeks to guarantee.
Minister Torres underscored the importance of this initiative to alleviate the burden on the most affected territories, ensuring that minors receive the necessary care without compromising the resources of the receiving communities. Moreover, he emphasized Spain's moral and legal obligation to provide a safe and conducive environment for these young people, many of whom have arrived after facing extreme situations in their countries of origin and during their migratory journey.
In the meeting, the need to continue strengthening cooperation among the various autonomous delegations was also addressed, ensuring that all regions equally share the responsibility and the resources necessary for the effective implementation of this decree. This is expected to foster a more equitable and sustainable integration of minors into Spanish society.
This reform is seen as a significant step toward a more just and humane immigration policy, reflecting the government's commitment to human rights and the social integration of immigrants. As migratory tensions persist, the unified approach promoted by the royal decree is presented as a viable solution to the current challenges, seeking a balance between the capacities of the territories and the needs of unaccompanied foreign minors.
