Vivas claims that Moncloa asked him "not to call anymore" after days of warning about the migratory crisis

Ceuta's president, Juan Jesús Vivas, claims the central government downplayed warnings about growing migratory pressure in the days leading up to a massive influx of people from Morocco. Vivas says he was even asked to stop calling as he was being "too insistent". However, sources from La Moncloa deny this, stating that conversations were cordial and operational.

According to La Moncloa, Vivas only reported an increase in swimming arrivals, which was already known, and did not warn of a large-scale influx like the one that occurred in 2021.
