Robles visits the CNI and decorates several agents after the controversy over their role in the warnings about the massive entry into Ceuta

The Spanish Defense Minister, Margarita Robles, visited the National Intelligence Center (CNI) on Friday and awarded several agents with honors amid controversy over their role in warnings related to the mass entry of migrants into Ceuta at the end of July. The visit occurred nine days after the government declassified reports regarding the crisis in Ceuta, including documents from the CNI, which is under the Ministry of Defense. Robles reiterated her support for the CNI’s actions and stated she and CNI director Esperanza Casteleiro are available to explain their conduct to Congress. The controversy centers on a WhatsApp message sent by a CNI agent to the head of the regional government’s cabinet on July 29, warning of potential large-scale migrant entries through the Moroccan border. Declassified documents show the CNI warned of up to 180,000 people, but the government claims there was no formal alert issued.

Migrants who arrived at the port of Ceuta were left stranded after being told that the temporary shelter set up by the Spanish government was already full.

He relies on his friend Annas for assistance with basic tasks such as visiting the bathroom or attending medical appointments.

Chaos and gunfire in the air: the relocation operation ends with thousands of migrants back on the beaches
