The Government delegate in Ceuta resigns after the controversy over the CNI notices before the migratory avalanche

The noise had been going on for days. The management of the Ceuta crisis and, above all, the fact that it was confirmed that the CNI warned the Government Delegation in Ceuta of the imminent assault on the autonomous city and its position that it had no knowledge put it in the pillory. His unsustainable position, his desire to leave and Moncloa's decision to relieve him will be consummated this Tuesday in the Council of Ministers.

Government sources explain that a few days ago Miguel Ángel Pérez Triano "expressed his need not to continue in office." They consider it to be "a human and personal decision after many weeks of immense work."

The delegate is on the ropes after La Moncloa declassified, on September 9, the documents and communications of the secret services in the days before the migratory avalanche of July 30. On the 29th, a CNI agent notified Gonzalo Sanz, Pérez Triano's chief of staff, by messages and call, of the imminent massive assault on the El Tarajal border.

Pérez Triano assured after the declassification that "everyone" knew about the calls on networks to jump the border, and that the WhatsApp message sent by a CNI member to his then Chief of Staff "is not an alert", because these "are not issued to a Government Delegation and much less to a Chief of Staff." «The alerts are raised to the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of the Interior and are formalized. That's no warning; “It is a comment, a conversation,” he said.
