The president of Ceuta, Juan Jesús Vivas, has denounced the inadequate response of the Spanish government to the migration crisis affecting the autonomous city. During a statement made on Monday, Vivas asserted that the Executive has tried to 'whitewash the reality' of the situation.

Vivas accused the central government of 'almost absolute passivity' in handling the crisis, which, according to him, has led to the need for judicial intervention if the problem is not resolved within 30 days. The president warned that if there is no effective action, he will turn to the judiciary to seek solutions.

Vivas's criticism reflects a growing discontent in Ceuta regarding the government's management of immigration and security in the region. Over the last few months, the migration situation has been a source of concern both in the city and at the national level.

The warning from the president of Ceuta has been reported by several media outlets, highlighting the elevated tone of the statements and the urgency with which government action is being requested. In light of the crisis, Vivas has stated that the government's response will be crucial to addressing the current needs of the region.
