The Government unveils talks with Ceuta to contradict Vivas

The Spanish government has revealed the dialogue with Ceuta in an attempt to refute claims made by Ceuta's President, Juan Jesús Vivas. Vivas accused La Moncloa, the seat of the Spanish government, of ignoring several of his calls – around ten, according to a statement he made on Wednesday. In response, the government has decided to publish the list of those calls in order to prove that Vivas is lying when he claims the executive branch did not pay attention to him.

The list of calls between the two governments, held by the team of Pedro Sánchez, clearly shows that they were indeed attended to. Sánchez's team asserts that they have no record of any lost calls that Ceuta claims to have, explaining that they could have been communication failures. However, the government argues that Vivas and his team could have tried other methods or sent messages, but chose not to.

Moreover, the government provides its version of the content of nine effective communications. This is done to debunk Vivas' assertion that Ceuta warned of what was to come but was ignored by the government in La Moncloa.
