El presidente de Ceuta eleva el tono contra el Gobierno y amenaza con acudir a la justicia si no resuelve la crisis en 30 días

Juan Jesús Vivas acusa al Ejecutivo central de “pasividad casi absoluta” y se niega a ceder emplazamientos céntricos para realojar migrantes alegando quejas de los “vecinos”

Juan Jesús Vivas, the President of Ceuta, has been in charge of the city for more than 25 years, belonging to the Partido Popular. He has maintained amicable relations with various central governments throughout all legislatures, including that of Pedro Sánchez, even after the massive influx on July 31st. Since then, Vivas has gradually increased the intensity of his attacks, culminating in a shocking statement on Monday.

He accused La Moncloa, the central government, of "almost absolute passivity" during an extraordinary appearance, alleging that they wish to surrender sovereignty to Morocco and threatening to resort to "judicial power" if the situation does not change within 30 days. Vivas also opposes the allocation of plots to migrants requested by the Sánchez government, citing complaints from residents, as some of these locations are in central areas. He also objects to the activation of the port for this purpose.
