The short version

The Spanish Government approved a budget of 25 million euros to care for migrant minors in Ceuta. The measure responds to the entry of 1,200 minors on June 30.

The Minister of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration, Elma Saiz, announced an extraordinary allocation of 25 million euros to care for migrant minors in Ceuta.4 Saiz explained that the Executive will enable the funds to cover the basic needs of the minors who entered Ceuta on June 30.4 The Government indicated that the measure seeks to respond to the situation generated by the arrival of 1,200 migrant minors on that date.4

In July, Spain registered a record 22.5 million Social Security members, with 41,727 new members.3 The increase in affiliations in July was attributed, among other factors, to the extraordinary regularization of immigrants.3 The Spanish Federation of Childhood Cancer Families (FEFCI) asked the Ministry of Inclusion that the reform of the CUME benefit responds to the real needs of patients.2

The FEFCI demanded that the care aid not end with the oncological treatment of the minors.2 The Government suspended a deregulation decree for port pilots after a conflict with the sector.5 The creation of a work table was announced to address the rates of the pilotage, while the measure of force is lifted.5

Employment generated by foreigners in Spain had surpassed that created by Spaniards in previous short-term analyses.1 The Spanish economy shows a seasonality marked by tourism, with patterns of affiliation to Social Security that reflect this cycle.1
