The fight against false minors in Madrid
In a significant turn in the management of child protection, Ana Dávila, the Minister of Family, Youth and Social Affairs of the Community of Madrid, has announced legal actions to tackle the growing problem of false minors residing in the capital. During her participation in La Noche de Cuesta on esRadio, Dávila openly criticised the central Government for its inaction regarding this situation, stating that "the Government responds with the same old excuses" and does not take the necessary measures to resolve the issue.
Dávila revealed that complaints have been filed against 16 individuals identified as false minors, who have allegedly abused the public system by improperly benefiting from services intended for minors. "We have reported these 16 false minors for fraud because they have taken advantage of public services that do not belong to them," the minister stated. Such situations highlight a systemic failure in the management of the immigration system and child protection.
The minister also emphasised that if the Government delegate, Francisco Martín, continues with his inaction regarding the initiation of family reunification proceedings, they will be forced to turn to the courts. "It is essential for the Government to initiate this process by requesting reports from the authorities in the country of origin to contact the families," Dávila stressed.
As this migration crisis progresses, Dávila highlighted that there are currently 110 minors under care, 40 of whom have already reached adulthood. The lack of an adequate response from the Government has led to a critical situation where urgent legal intervention is required. The minister emphasised that it is the Government's responsibility to ensure that only those truly in need receive support.
Dávila did not hold back in her criticism of the central Executive, directly accusing it of fueling human trafficking mafias by failing to act against evident fraud within the system. "The chaos caused by this Government is favouring illegal practices," she concluded. This denunciation resonates strongly among other autonomous communities, although so far no similar movement has been seen.
