In the Popular Party they do not understand the urgency with which the Government of Spain has made the decision to transfer 500 migrant minors from Ceuta to the Peninsula and they distrust this haste. The Deputy Secretary of Health and Social Policy of the PP, Carmen Fúnez, has asked a question: "What is happening in Ceuta that the Government wants to take 500 girls out of there?", convinced that "there is something that they are not telling us" from the Executive.
The popular representative has suggested that perhaps this speed in carrying out the transfer is due to the increase in insecurity and crimes against sexual freedom. For this reason, he has reported that his party has registered in the Congress of Deputies the request for the appearance of the Minister of Equality, Ana Redondo, so that given "the data that we have been learning about the increase in sexual assaults", she responds "about the protocols that she is putting in place" and whether she has contacted the Ministry of the Interior led by Fernando Grande-Marlaska to coordinate actions in this regard.
To exemplify this increase in crimes, he has cited the statements of a judge who has assured that "before July 30 the number of detainees who arrived at the court was ten and today there are 66, the majority with cases that go against sexual freedom." That is why he has insisted that Redondo give explanations about the situation and whether he has implemented some type of "work" or protocol from his ministry to "protect the women who are currently in the city of Ceuta."
Fúnez has also denied the statements made by the Secretary of State for Youth and Children, Rubén Pérez Correa, who has stated that both the PP and the president of Ceuta, Juan Jesús Vivas, knew of the shock plan to transfer the 500 minors to the Peninsula. "Absolutely nothing has been conveyed to the PP communities and what the secretary and the minister have to do is stop twisting the language and generating hoaxes in those areas in which there is total clarity," he launched. In this sense, he recalled the words of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Albares, from last August 11 in which he assured that "every last person who has entered Spain irregularly will return to Morocco." And they continue to insist on that idea from Genoa: "No one has talked about deportations, what we ask is that the law be followed."
He has also criticized the Executive's "lack of protection" towards the people of Ceuta and the lack of information on their part. "Today the data we know about the affiliation of minors is practically the same as it was a week ago," he criticized, nor "whether contacts have been initiated with Moroccan social services for family reunification." Fúnez recalled that what the legislation dictates is "that the interest of the minor is to be with his family" and that is what the ministry "should be doing," "initiating individualized proceedings so that these minors feel protected."
Demand a protocol to prevent cases of scabies
To the request for explanations from the person responsible for Equality, the vice-secretary of the PP has added the Minister of Health, Mónica García, whom she has accused of ignoring the "healthcare collapse" and of "lack of consideration." Fúnez recalled that "twenty-four cases of scabies have already been diagnosed in the military" in addition to two police officers and demands to know if Health has implemented any protocol together with the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of the Interior to "prevent, detect and diagnose this disease as soon as possible and protect the State Security Forces and Bodies and the military."
