The Balearic Islands have not received any of the 803 unaccompanied migrant children who have been transferred from the Canary Islands, Ceuta, and Melilla to other autonomous communities in the last seven months, since the reform of the Immigration Law. Although the Spanish government included The Islands are among the regions likely to receive migrant children. of the Canary Islands and the autonomous cities, The Executive refused, He appealed to the courts and argued that his guardianship capacity had been exceeded. Sources from the Balearic Government and the Council of Mallorca have indicated to the EFE news agency that none of the displaced minors have arrived in the Balearic Islands.

The organization Prosocial has expressed its concern about the controversy that arose this summer over the arrival of migrant children from the Canary Islands to the Balearic Islands, after the government and island councils refused to accept them. According to the organization, the debate has become a political confrontation centered on the number of children and young people to be cared for, without taking into account their "extremely vulnerable" situation.

The Spanish government delegate in the Balearic Islands, Alfonso Rodríguez, stated this Wednesday that the islands are not in a situation of migration contingency, like the Canary Islands, Ceuta, and Melilla, although he believes they could be in the future and that this category could be requested by the government at the state level. In statements to reporters, Rodríguez pointed out that the Balearic government, with its intention to request a migration contingency, proposes solutions "thinking only about the Balearic Islands" and not about the scale of a problem that must be addressed at the state level, with a "coordinated, sensitive, dignified, and humanitarian response as a country."

The Canary Islands government on Friday lamented the Balearic Islands' government's announcement that it would request a suspension from the Supreme Court for having carte blanche not to accept unaccompanied migrant minors from the islands. This decision represents "an exercise of irresponsibility and lack of solidarity" on the part of an autonomous community that "takes all 5,000 of them."
