Torres distances himself from Robles and supports Marlaska: "There was no communication about the arrival of tens of thousands of people"

Minister of Territorial Policy and Democratic Memory Ángel Víctor Torres stated on August 26 that the National Intelligence Center (CNI) provided no warning regarding the mass arrival of migrants in Ceuta on July 30. Torres’s remarks support the position held by Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska, who has consistently maintained that no intelligence reports alerted the government to the influx.

This statement serves to clarify the government's internal stance on the event, specifically distancing the administration from conflicting reports or suggestions that intelligence agencies had prior knowledge of the border crossing. By confirming the lack of communication, Torres reinforces the Interior Ministry's account of the incident.
