Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez stated that there was constant communication between central authorities and Ceuta officials in the days leading up to a mass influx of migrants. This assertion was made in response to claims by Ceuta's president, Juan Jesús Vivas, regarding unsuccessful attempts to contact the prime minister.
In a related clarification, the central government disputed the specifics of Vivas's account, maintaining that Vivas requested to speak with Sánchez only once regarding the situation in the autonomous city, and that the request was addressed on the same day it was made.
In separate diplomatic remarks during the same period, Sánchez also commented on European Union strategy regarding China, asserting that Spain's position is not far removed from that of French President Emmanuel Macron, despite acknowledged divergent voices within the EU.
