Forum claims King took a month to speak out on Ceuta
A forum claims the King resurfaced a month late and the Ceuta account remains unproven

According to the account circulating in forums, the State's highest institution has spoken out again. It allegedly did so a month after events that some describe as an invasion and others doubt. In the middle of it all, a figure circulating without official confirmation —83 women and girls allegedly assaulted— and the sense that the institutional silence has lasted longer than the crisis itself.

Why is the King being criticized for his delay?

The criticism is twofold. On one hand, the delay: according to that account, the country's highest authority did not show concern until a month after the events. On the other, the contrast. His critics stress that the Head of State, who under the Constitution is Captain General of the Armed Forces (a Spanish military rank), found time to compete in sailing regattas —including a defeat— before addressing what peine in Ceuta.

And that is where everything runs aground. The criticism of the Crown is met with an equally harsh retort: none of what is being said has been proven. The alarm circulating relies on an audio shared on social media and on figures that no agency has confirmed. With no verification or official statement, the matter remains where it was: up in the air.
