Ceuta President Vivas accuses Spanish government of failing to address migration crisis
Juan Jesús Vivas, the President of Ceuta, has issued a sharp critique of the Spanish central government's handling of the recent migration crisis in the autonomous city. During an interview on the television program ‘El Hormiguero’, Vivas accused Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska of acting with “indolence” and “irresponsibility.”
Vivas alleged that the influx of over 80,000 migrants was an orchestrated “invasion” by Morocco rather than a standard migration crisis. He specifically claimed that the Spanish government ignored critical warnings from the National Intelligence Center (CNI) and failed to implement necessary contingency plans, despite similar incidents occurring in May.
The President of Ceuta further asserted that the government's response was motivated by a desire to avoid diplomatic friction with Morocco. He stated that he can no longer trust the central administration to defend the territorial integrity of Ceuta or Spain, describing the current situation as a high-risk state for national security and social coexistence.
