"Save Us From Our Traitor Gov't": Massive Madrid Protests Erupt Over Socialist Regime's Handling Of Ceuta Invasion

Spain's Ceuta border invasion has morphed into a major political headache for Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. Tens of thousands of Spaniards took to the streets of Madrid to protest the government's handling of the crisis, potentially accelerating the political shift identified by Nomura analysts, who expect right-wing populist movements to gain traction across Europe during the next 18-month election cycle.

About 72,000 migrants, many reportedly military-age men, invaded the Spanish enclave from neighboring Morocco in late July. The scale and apparent coordination of the invasion raised concerns that Ceuta had been targeted through weaponized migration flows. The influx plunged the enclave, which has a population of approximately 84,000, into utter chaos for weeks.

By mid-August, a second wave of military-age men attempted to storm the Ceuta border, but that effort largely fell flat.

Although most of the migrants were quickly returned or repatriated, the surge overwhelmed local resources, left at least 90 people dead and sparked serious questions about Madrid's open border policies. Italy's continued border checks on arrivals from Spain further show how the Ceuta crisis is reverberating well beyond Spain's borders.

About a month and a half after the first migrant wave, the political backlash against Sánchez and the Socialists in Madrid is mounting. AP News reported that more than 50,000 protesters demonstrated against the Socialists over the lack of border enforcement on Wednesday.

Waving Spanish flags, demonstrators shouted, "A united Ceuta will never be defeated," "Sánchez to prison" and "Invaders, go home!" referring to the thousands of migrants still in the city.

Reuters reported that the number of Spaniards who demonstrated against the Socialist government was closer to 80,000. The protest coincided with the annual Ceuta Day. Demonstrators waved Spanish flags and blew whistles as they chanted, "Ceuta is not for sale; Ceuta must be defended."

One demonstrator's sign read, "SOS. Europe, save us from our traitor government," while some demanded that authorities "expel the invaders" and others called for Sánchez to resign.

"The response has been inadequate, late and, to top it all, has involved a complete dereliction of duty on the part of the government. We cannot be second-class citizens, and our border must not be sidelined," said David Hernandez, a 45-year-old teacher who demonstrated yesterday.

The growing outrage against Sánchez and the Socialists in Madrid only builds on the expanding backlash across Europe. Nomura analyst Andrzej Szczepaniak now expects right-wing parties to make significant gains across Germany, France, Spain, Switzerland and the UK over the next 18 months.

Good. Hoping for civil war in some of these EU countries to boot/kill these commie fucks out of power, we will need to do the same sooner than later

Agreed, it is way past time to right these horrible wrongs.

The current dissatisfaction with the existing governments in Europe by the common man whose voice is being ignored and suppressed has similarities with what led to the Revolutions of 1848.

Back then, the installed governments were willing to use a “whiff of grapeshot” against insurgents. Not so sure that’s the case today. Could get really interesting in the next couple of years.

Which, of course, is what we should have told Ukraine...
Socialist Europe is imploding.

If these countries don't get their acts together, they might find the plot of the Citizen Vigilante movie coming true.

Have some friends that are over there right now. Hope they don't get caught up in something they had not planned for. Especially if it quickly spirals out of control.

I was thinking more like 1789.
