The Ayuso government has asked the Central Executive to expulsion to their country of origin of the minor migrant from the center of Hortaleza, detained last Monday for allegedly violating a girl in a park in the Madrid town. He has raised his return file along with eight other repatriation requests for migrant children and young people protected by the community. This has been detailed by the spokesman for the Community of Madrid, Miguel Ángel García Martín, after the Government Meeting on Wednesday, during a press conference in which Sánchez's immigration policy has described as “chaos”. In total, this region has requested the expulsion of 46 minors.
In addition, the Ayuso Government has formalized the appeal before the Supreme Court of the Decree that establishes the obligation to accommodate migrant minors derived from the Centers of the Canary Islands to the rest of the state points, since they consider it an “invasion of powers”. This is the second appeal in this sense of the community, whose first attempt to knock down the displacement of these children and young people, against the first decree of the government that established the rules for its execution, has been admitted to processing by the same Chamber. García Martín has celebrated this decision during his press conference.
The final decision of these return files depends on the Government Delegation in Madrid, after the report prepared by the Prosecutor's Office. Asked about the responsibility of the Madrid president in the incitement of violence against residents in this host center of Hortaleza, the spokesman has said: “What is irresponsible is what the central government is doing, which is nothing, to avoid the migratory chaos that our country lives (…) The communities have the means we have.” Autonomous competences include the necessary public investment for proper protection of childhood and its proper social inclusion.
The Madrid president has also celebrated the admission to the process of the first resource before the Supreme Court and has loaded against the central government, because he considers that his immigration policy is “out of control”. About migrant minors from saturated regions such as the Canary Islands or Ceuta, Ayuso has said that these children and young people have “increasingly complex profiles” and that the executive “brings” to “later abandon them.”
For his part, the PP spokesman in the Madrid Assembly, Carlos Díaz-Pache, has avoided condemning the racist concentration last Tuesday in the vicinity of the Hortaleza reception center, a protest organized by Vox after the violation that is being investigated. After the Board of Spokespersons, he has assured that qualifying the concentration of racist is a “hypocrisy” by the left: “It is a hypocrisy to call someone racist when concentrating in front of a center to talk about a problem.”
The real data is others. In 2025, Spain has double residents with foreign nationality as in 2005 (7 of the 49 million today that the country has today, plus two million born outside, but have Spanish nationality). However, the crime rate has not risen with that multiplication of immigrants, on the contrary: 40.6 crimes per thousand inhabitants, the lowest band in the historical series, according to data from the first quarter of 2025 of the Interior Ministry. That is, while the number of foreigners who lives in the country raises, the crime rate is lowered (-2.8%, according to the most recent data), a rate that has experienced a descending tendency for decades with some ups and downs after the pandemic, attributed by interior to the explosion of cybercrime crimes. Although 28% of those convicted in 2023 are foreign people, these data do not reflect the main cause of crime according to experts: material conditions.
