The Government of the Junta de Andalucía reiterated this Saturday that the extraordinary aid of 25 million euros approved this week, with the support of Andalucía, within the framework of the Sectorial Conference on Childhood and Adolescence —which includes the central Government and the autonomous communities— "does not imply any breach of the agreement for stability and the government of Andalucía signed in July" between the PP-A and Vox, which made possible the third investiture of Juanma Moreno as president of the Junta.
Sources from the autonomous Executive have emphasized that these 25 million euros directed to Ceuta "are specifically intended to strengthen the care for unaccompanied migrant minors in the mentioned autonomous city."
From the Junta, they explain that Andalucía "voted in favor of this extraordinary aid for Ceuta in the Sectorial Conference on Childhood and Adolescence held this Thursday so that Ceuta has the necessary resources to care for these minors in its territory, in an exercise of responsibility and solidarity, given the situation of special pressure that Ceuta is going through."
The Andalusian Government also insists that "the stability agreement --between PP-A and Vox-- will be fulfilled under the agreed terms."
This statement from the Executive comes a day after the second vice president and counselor of Tourism, Justice, Deregulation, and Local Administration, Manuel Gavira (Vox), indicated, in response to questions from the media in Montilla (Córdoba), that the Andalusian Government would have positioned itself against this extraordinary credit of 25 million euros if Vox held the competence on this matter within the autonomous Executive.
Representatives from the governments of Aragón, Extremadura, and Castilla y León did not attend the meeting of the Sectorial Conference on Childhood and Adolescence, autonomous executives where the PP governs in coalition with Vox, a party that in these communities does manage the competencies related to this issue of minors, unlike what happens in Andalucía, where PP and Vox also share government in the current legislature.
This was expressed by Manuel Gavira this Friday when, when asked by journalists about the aforementioned aid of 25 million euros, he pointed out that "if this humble counselor --referring to himself-- had that competence, he would have voted the same" as his "colleagues in Aragón, in Extremadura, and in Castilla y León."
In this line, he added that "the competence" on this matter "belongs to the Partido Popular" in the Andalusian Government, through the Ministry of Social Services led by Loles López, to then insist that "if the competence had belonged" to his department, the Junta would have "opposed" said agreement.
