Ceuta says repeated calls went unanswered before the mass entry. Moncloa records fewer contacts and no call on July 29. The National Court is investigating.
On July 29, the CNI warned the Government Delegation, the Guardia Civil and Morocco about preparations for an assault on the border by land and sea. No call took place between Moncloa and Ceuta that day. The mass entry followed on July 30.
That gap now sits at the heart of a dispute over what the Spanish Government knew in advance. Juan Jesús Vivas says his team tried to reach Moncloa repeatedly on July 27 and 28. He says most attempts received no response.
Moncloa recognises nine calls between July 27 and 30. It does not accept the extra attempts claimed by the Ceuta government. Spanish media citing court sources report that Vivas put the total at ten attempts, with only three answered through chief of staff Diego Rubio.
The missing call matters.
