The gesture came on the same day that the resignation of Gonzalo Sanz, until now Pérez Triano's chief of staff, became known. His departure has once again focused attention on conflicting accounts of the information received by the Government Delegation before that day.
CONFLICTING ACCOUNTS OF THE CNI WARNINGS
According to published reports, Sanz maintains that he passed on the warnings received from the CNI to the delegate, while Pérez Triano has denied receiving those communications in the terms described. The then-chief of staff is said to have received messages and held an approximately 11-minute call with an intelligence agent on July 29, one day before the events.
The discrepancy between the two accounts ultimately led to Sanz's resignation. He has maintained that his team communicated the information it received. Some media outlets have also reported that Pérez Triano may have been present during the call, although that detail has not been confirmed in the information provided.
The appearance of the wreath thus adds another sign of pressure on the Government Delegate in Ceuta, who has ruled out resigning for the time being.
