That means roughly <strong>2.6 million Spanish children<\/strong> are living in economically vulnerable conditions while the central government approves emergency funding for foreign minors who entered Spain during the recent border crisis.<\/p>\n<p>The funding was announced Tuesday by Spain\u2019s Minister of Inclusion, Social Security and Immigration, <strong>Elma Saiz<\/strong>, who said the money will be used to provide urgent assistance to the approximately <strong>860 to 1,000 immigrant minors<\/strong> who remain under Ceuta\u2019s custody following the illegal mass entry of tens of thousands of Moroccan nationals, most of them young men. The new funding comes on top of a previous <strong>\u20ac5.5 million<\/strong> allocation.<\/p>\n<p>Saiz said the measure demonstrates the government\u2019s \u201ccommitment\u201d to protecting vulnerable people. Critics, however, argue that it effectively rewards what they describe as a mass illegal border incursion that challenged Spain\u2019s sovereignty while thousands of Spanish children continue to face severe economic hardship.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Madrid Received Warnings\u2014But Responded Too Late<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The controversy intensified after reports emerged that Spain\u2019s National Intelligence Center (CNI) had issued several warnings to the Interior Ministry in the days leading up to the border invasion about the risk of a mass crossing.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\uf1ea\uf1f8 In Ceuta, a crowd of illegal Moroccan migrants is already establishing its own rules in the city<\/p>\n<p>The crowd shouts \u201cAllahu Akbar\u201d at National Guard officers and drags a wounded migrant through the streets in protest against being returned home. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Q27cvVFLTW\">pic.twitter.com\/Q27cvVFLTW<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Visegr\u00e1d 24 (@visegrad24) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/visegrad24\/status\/2084204283012984872?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 3, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Intelligence sources cited by Spanish media said the government had been alerted to the possibility of an imminent border breach.<\/p>\n<p>Initially, Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska claimed the CNI had not provided sufficient advance warning.
