Vivas says Morocco "is behind the coup" and demands Sánchez set "a date for a return to normality" in Ceuta

Juan Jesús Vivas, the president of the autonomous city of Ceuta, publicly accused Morocco of orchestrating a crisis in the city during a public event held on Monday. Vivas characterized the mass arrival of approximately 80,000 migrants in late July as a deliberate 'coup' or 'invasion' directed by the neighboring country.

Following these accusations, Vivas formally requested that the Spanish government, led by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, establish a concrete timeline for restoring normalcy in Ceuta. The demand highlights ongoing political tensions regarding border security and migration management in the Spanish enclave.
