Ceuta President issues 30-day ultimatum to Spanish government over migration crisis
Juan Vivas, the president of the Spanish enclave Ceuta, has issued a 30-day ultimatum to the Spanish government to address the ongoing migration crisis in the region. Vivas characterized the current situation as a state of emergency and criticized the central government for what he described as passivity and an attempt to downplay the severity of the influx.
Vivas disputed official government figures regarding the number of migrants in the city. While the Spanish government reported that normality was restored within 48 hours and that only 2,500 migrants remained from an initial group of 80,000, Vivas estimates that between 8,000 and 10,000 migrants are still present in Ceuta.
If the crisis is not resolved within the specified timeframe, Vivas stated his intention to bring the matter before the President of the Supreme Court and the President of the Constitutional Court. He suggested that the government's lack of decisive action might stem from a desire to maintain stable relations with neighboring countries.
