The president of the City Council of Ceuta, Juan Jesús Vivas, today accused Morocco of having played a "decisive role, through action or omission", in the migratory crisis that occurred in Ceuta in July. This accusation was made during a press conference at the European Parliament, in Brussels, as part of a visit to European institutions.
Juan Jesús Vivas considered that the migratory crisis experienced in Ceuta "was only possible thanks to the participation or consent of Morocco". The mayor made this statement, which he said he considers of "great importance" — the phrase appears cut off in the article.
The president of the City Council of Ceuta demanded from the European Union a "forceful response" facing the situation. This visit to Brussels aimed to alert European institutions to the gravity of the migratory crisis that affected the Spanish city in the month of July.
