Spanish Regions Vote to Send €25 Million to Ceuta for Migrant Children
Listen to the story
Fourteen regions in Spain voted for a plan. The plan sends 25 million euros to Ceuta. Ceuta is a Spanish city in North Africa. The money will help migrant children in Ceuta. These children came to Spain without their parents. They need food, homes, and care.
The Spanish government wanted this help. Ceuta has many migrant children. The city needs more money to help them. So the government asked other regions for money.
The plan is now approved. This means the regions agreed to it. But one party did not vote yes. This party is called Vox. Another party, called PP, is also against the plan.
This vote happened during a difficult time. Two parties, PP and Vox, are against the government's plan for migrants. They do not want to send money to help migrant children this way.
The 25 million euros will now go to Ceuta. This will help the city take care of the young migrants.
