The Minister for Youth and Childhood, Sira Rego, defended in the Congress of Deputies that guaranteeing the protection of unaccompanied migrant minors is not a bureaucratic deficiency, but rather a democratic achievement that differentiates the rule of law from an autocracy. Her statements were made during her appearance before the Youth and Childhood Committee.
Rego emphasized that a State cannot limit its actions to automatically expelling minors without attending to or hearing their individualized situation. The head of the Ministry stressed the need for a personalized approach for each case.
