Spanish Child Minister Criticizes Morocco on Repatriation
The article addressed Spanish Youth and Childhood Minister Sira Rego's escalation regarding the delay by Moroccan authorities in responding to requests to reunite unaccompanied minors with their families, despite the families' and children's desire to be reunited. She explained that the Spanish Public Prosecutor's Office has approximately 600 pending cases held by Morocco since the recent crossing waves, and that the repatriation process requires effective cooperation from the Moroccan side to ensure legal and procedural rights. She also pointed out that there are over 2,000 unaccompanied foreign children in the occupied city of Ceuta, and that transferring some of them to Spanish territories aims to ease pressure on infrastructure. Rego clarified that legitimate repatriation cases are few and often still involve vulnerable situations related to violence or forced marriage. She noted that resolving these cases can take months and depends heavily on the level of cooperation between Spain and Morocco. Rego’s statements come in response to Moroccan criticisms about the delays in repatriation procedures and migrant deportations, amid diplomatic tensions surrounding the migration issue.
