The Supreme Court admits the Government's appeal against the restitution of minors

PalmThe Government has filed two appeals against the regulations establishing the distribution of unaccompanied migrant minors from the Canary Islands. First Vice President and Government Spokesperson Antoni Costa announced this Friday that the Supreme Court has admitted the challenge to Royal Decree 658/2025 of July 22, which establishes the criteria for deciding how many minors correspond to each community.

The Government filed the appeal arguing that the distribution violates "the autonomy and solidarity between communities" because it is not imposed in Catalonia or the Basque Country. The Government's appeal before the Supreme Court (SC) is directed against the royal decree that deploys and specifies the distribution of minors. It is based on a previous royal decree, which has also been appealed before the Constitutional Court (CC).

"Respect" for the TSJIB ruling on Catalan

On the other hand, Costa has expressed "respect" for the ruling of the TSJIB who rejects imposing 25% of teaching in Spanish in all schools. "It confirms what we have explained at the Government, that the Balearic Islands do not have a mandatory language immersion model, but rather a linguistic conjunction model, where both languages coexist while respecting the autonomy of schools," he said.
