Overview
- The Youth and Childhood minister, Sira Rego, said the draft will go to the Council of Ministers after several PP-run regions skipped the Sectorial Conference and the meeting failed to reach a quorum.
- New benchmarks in the draft assign Galicia 940 places and Castilla y León 833, with the largest figures in Andalusia, Catalonia, Madrid, and the Valencia region.
- The proposal lifts Spain’s national “ordinary capacity” to 17,081 places and keeps emergency rules in place for territories hosting more than three times their benchmark.
- The draft sets each region’s figure using a population-based formula as of December 31, 2025, and defines ordinary capacity as a planning yardstick rather than an order to make immediate placements.
- Castilla y León said it will appeal any central decision it believes harms the region while stating it will comply with the law.
