El Confidencial does not mention this figure in its report. ## What the coverage left out None of the centre or right-rated reports mention the government's planned approval of an emergency package of 165 million euros on August 31, 2026. The left-rated side did not run this story at all. ## Who covered it Shares of the 6 covering outlets with a published leaning rating: - Left: 0% (0) - Centre: 50% (3) - Right: 50% (3) 10 of 16 covering outlets carried no usable leaning rating and were excluded from those percentages. Coverage measured 2026-08-31T12:31:13.011257+00:00. **Coverage watch:** developing. Checked 6 times; 0 checks found a material change. Most recently checked 2026-08-31T13:15:34.948Z. ## How the sides framed it ### Left No separate framing summary. ### Centre - The centre-rated reports from El Confidencial and EFE led with the appearances of Ministers Sira Rego and Ana Redondo before the Congress of Deputies to account for their management of the Ceuta crisis. Both reports detailed the approval of the 25 million euro credit for the care of minors in Ceuta, noting its rejection by Castilla y León, Extremadura, and Aragón. EFE also reported that the Fiscalía had registered 17 victims of sexual assault in Ceuta since July 30, with 16 being women. El Confidencial's report focused on Rego's appearance and the ministry's work on transferring up to 500 girls to the mainland. ### Right - Right-rated reports from El Debate, Libertad Digital, and La Razón focused on Minister Sira Rego's statements regarding the distribution of minors from Ceuta. El Debate's digest stated Rego believes it is a 'must' for children to be distributed throughout the peninsula, contradicting the executive's initial stance on returning immigrants. Libertad Digital's digest highlighted Rego's comments on 'fascism' and 'criminalising childhood', while also noting she 'silenced' Ceuti children and avoided confrontation with Morocco. La Razón's digest reported on Rego's appearance to account for her department's work on the rights of unaccompanied children and adolescents in Ceuta. **Provisional coverage gap:** left.
