Four unaccompanied migrant minors have arrived in Baleares from reception centers in Canarias after the courts ruled against the requests for suspension of transfers made by the Govern balear.
The spokesperson for the autonomous Executive, Antoni Costa, confirmed this Friday after the Consell de Govern that the precautionary measures to halt transfers requested by the Community's Legal Department have been dismissed.
Therefore, the transfers have been carried out "by legal imperative", Costa stated, who stressed that the judicial processes filed before courts in Gran Canaria and Tenerife remain ongoing.
The rejection of the precautionary measures, he detailed, is based on the fact that the transfers of minors, which the Govern balear opposed due to the saturation of its reception network, "do not have irreversible effects".
In a statement, the autonomous Executive details that currently the island councils, competent in matters of child protection, host 688 unaccompanied foreign children and adolescents, "which represents an over-occupation of around 1,000% of the ordinary places foreseen and 282 more than the reception capacity itself set by the Gobierno de España".
