Aragón Deputy Premier Alejandro Nolasco announced this during a press conference in Teruel, stressing that the aim is to “protect everyone staying in these centers.” The four guards work from 2:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. from Sunday to Thursday, while on Fridays and Saturdays the service is extended by one hour, from 2:00 p.m. to midnight.
163 INCIDENTS IN FOUR MONTHS
The deputy premier said that “there are some violent unaccompanied foreign minors, but they are not all the minors in care.” This situation, he said, “creates insecurity inside the centers, affecting the female educators and the minors themselves, and sometimes vulnerable groups, such as elderly women, end up suffering when violent behavior spills over into the streets.”
Nolasco said this is confirmed by the technical reports, police reports and court rulings available to the department: between May 1 and August 31, 2026, 93 incidents involving crimes and disturbances of coexistence were recorded at CATIM Torrero, along with another 70 at CAIIMA Movera.
Nolasco also recalled that the Aragón Government reported on August 12 that an unaccompanied foreign minor living at CATIM had been arrested for the third time in 25 days, accused of violently robbing elderly women.
In response to the 163 incidents recorded at both centers over four months, the Vox leader in Aragón said there were “two things we can do: pretend nothing is happening and look the other way, or try to address the problem, acknowledge the insecurity in these centers and seek solutions,” choosing the latter option to “protect the lives of the educators and all the minors staying there.”
