The claim uses the vague quantifier 'hundreds' (centenares), while official and press data show the cumulative number of minors transferred to the peninsula is much higher: more than 1,750 between March 2025 and August 2026 (El País, 2026-08-06), and the Government reported 1,019 minors relocated by February 2026 (La Moncloa, 2026-02-25).
The claim gives no time period; the underlying transfers are tied to the redistribution mechanism (reparto) approved via Real Decreto-ley 2/2025 of 18 March 2025, so the figure is cumulative over roughly 18 months, not a single event.
The transfers take place within a legal redistribution framework agreed with the autonomous communities and were activated by the central government in August 2025, context that the rhetorical framing ('Madrid prefers to transfer them') omits.
