President of Ceuta Claims Unanswered Calls to Sánchez Before Migrant Entry

Juan Jesús Vivas, the president of Ceuta, testified in court that he tried to contact Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez up to 10 times before the mass entry of migrants in late July, alleging that only three calls were successful. Vivas stated that he tried to warn the government about the impending crisis and requested preventive measures. However, Moncloa, the office of the Prime Minister, denies Vivas' claims, releasing a call register showing nine calls between the two parties, all of which were answered. Vivas maintains his stance, insisting that he can verify the calls and that the central government did not act with due diligence.
