Questions for Vivas (Ignacio Camacho in El ABC)

In Ceuta, urgent answers are demanded regarding immigration: occupancy figures, healthcare collapse, civil insecurity, and the underground economy are just some of the outstanding issues.

## The Reality of Ceuta Under Scrutiny

The situation in **Ceuta** has become a powder keg of unanswered questions, and the focus is now turned toward **Ignacio Vivas**, the local leader. Beyond the complex diplomatic relations with Segarro, which seem to be a taboo subject, the daily reality of the autonomous city cries out for explanations. The central government, despite its resources, has failed to provide a clear figure regarding the number of occupants in the city—a fundamental piece of data needed to understand the magnitude of the challenge. The collapse of the hospital, managed directly by the Ministry, and the increase in emergency cases jeopardize the healthcare staff, who have already called a strike due to unbearable stress.

## Life on the Streets: A Constant Antiestéticar

The summer passed without its usual tourist bustle, leaving behind a palpable antiestéticar among the citizens. The perception of insecurity has skyrocketed, manifesting in an increase in street fights and home invasions. The presence of the Police and the Army protecting supermarkets and schools has become a recurring image, while some mothers resort to extreme measures, such as sending their children to school with pepper spray.
This constant atmosphere of tension raises serious doubts about the normalcy and protection that Spain offers its fellow citizens.

## Critical Questions Regarding the Future

The management of the migration crisis in Ceuta faces crucial questions about the future. Doubts arise as to how many times warnings were given regarding the imminence of assaults and whether those alerts were taken seriously. The lack of clarity regarding interlocutors in Madrid during critical hours and the number of agents present at key points like the Tarajal jetty, where hundreds attempt to cross, generates anxiety. Orders received by military garrison personnel and the limited armament in patrols are other points of friction. With the onset of autumn bad weather, concerns grow over the possibility that thousands of people may find themselves crammed into shanties on the beaches, while expulsion deadlines announced by the Executive appear uncertain due to bureaucratic slowness. The proliferation of bladed weapons and the underground economy, with rentals for squats (piso patera), garages, and even terraces, complete a desolate picture that compels reflection on the chronic state of alarm in which the city lives.
