El presidente de Ceuta acude a la Audiencia Nacional para declarar como testigo por la entrada masiva de julio

Gonzalo Sanz, a former chief of cabinet for the Ceuta Government Delegation, has stated in the National Court on Thursday that the situation was already extraordinary in the days leading up to the crisis. He claims that they warned the Ministry of the Interior, but the response they received was not what they anticipated, according to sources close to the matter.

Sanz, who has appeared before judge María Tardón, also defended that he alerted the then government delegate, Miguel Ángel Pérez Triano, to WhatsApp messages he received from a National Intelligence Center (CNI) agent regarding the existence of social media calls for 180,000 participants to enter the autonomous community, coinciding with the Throne Festival in Morocco. Additionally, there are 19 other unredacted messages.
