Who is Vicente Boluda, the shipowner with interests in Morocco behind the T-shirts supporting Ceuta

An initiative by the Valencia Business Association (AVE) to promote solidarity with Ceuta through white T-shirts bearing the slogan 'Todos somos caballas' during a Real Madrid vs Elche match sparked controversy. Three Real Madrid players, Vinicius Jr., Kylian Mbappé, and Ibrahima Konaté, refused to wear the shirts during their pre-game greeting, leading to accusations of distancing from the campaign. The club initially attributed this to personal sensitivities, but Mbappé later clarified that his intention was to support migrants who have suffered hardships, not to oppose Ceuta residents. He emphasized his solidarity with both Ceuta and migrant victims, while acknowledging public misunderstanding.
