  "account": "The Moncloa has abruptly dismissed the communications official responsible for the National Security Department (DSN). The dismissal took place last Friday, via a phone call, since the affected person was on vacation, after she published an alert on the DSN website early in the morning informing, citing sources from the Ministry of the Interior, that 49,000 immigrants had irregularly entered Ceuta. The alert, which was removed shortly after it was broadcast and no longer appears on the DSN website, represented the first official recognition of the scale of the massive influx of immigrants into the Spanish city in North Africa, although the figure has subsequently soared above 60,000.",
  "summary": "The message for which the official was dismissed was deleted from the official website shortly after its publication.",
