Vox Vice President Manuel Gavira vows Andalusia will block migrant children transfers
Manuel Gavira, the vice president of the Andalusian regional government and member of Vox, announced on social media that Andalusia will oppose any allocation of unaccompanied migrant minors from Ceuta that the national government proposes. He said the stance follows points 12 and 13 of the coalition agreement between Vox and the People’s Party, calling the influx an "invasion" and insisting that children who crossed the border illegally should be returned to Morocco with their parents. The position conflicts with existing Spanish law and the agreement the Andalusian administration has with Ceuta, and no other Andalusian ministers have publicly responded.
Gavira’s remarks come as the Spanish government under Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez prepares to redistribute children rescued in the recent Ceuta crisis to other regions, a plan that Vox opposes under its coalition pact.
