    Default Turmoil in Spain

    They were always going to come for Pedro Sanchez, the only European leader to stand against the genociders. The accusation is from Manos Limpias, a private organisation led by Miguel Bernad, formerly of National Front. Aided by Vox & Argentina's Milei.

    Pedro Sánchez faces mounting pressure to resign with calls for snap elections due to a series of corruption scandals involving what’s called “the socialist mafia” including criminal dealings with the Venezuelan regime.

    Royalist aligned center right is thr preferred replacement.

    Translated from Spanish
    🚨🚨FROM FRANCE, SPAIN IS BEING WARNED🚨🚨

    The newspaper L'Humanité points out that Pedro Sánchez has become the top target of a "vindictive" right wing ready to use baseless accusations, manipulated setups, and disinformation campaigns against the Spanish Prime Minister.

    The concern goes beyond our borders: another European outlet denounces the evident media, political, and judicial offensive against Pedro Sánchez.

    Coup-mongering is at the heart of the Spanish right's strategy, unable to win at the ballot box.

    Stopping the pro-Trump and Zionist far right is a matter that concerns all the peoples of the world.

    THANKS to all the people around the world who show us their affection in the face of the coup d'état situation we are going through 🇪🇸🫂🌍

    WHY CEUTA and NOT MELILLA?
    If Spain loses Ceuta, it LOSES CONTROL of the Strait of Gibraltar. Between Gibraltar (United Kingdom) and Morocco, the Anglo-Zionist axis would have total control of the passage to the Mediterranean, sidelining Spain.

    IT'S NOT AN INVASION, IT'S AN ATTACK, AN AGGRESSION by "OUR ALLIES" with the complicity of a political class installed by them to shepherd the Spanish people.

    😱What are the police and the Civil Guard doing opening the doors, allowing for greater dispersal throughout the city?😱

    The CONTAINMENT and ISOLATION of these individuals from the rest of society IS A STATE OBLIGATION; they don't know who they are, whether they're armed, they don't know their backgrounds or their past.

    THOSE DOORS SHOULD ONLY BE OPENED TO ORDERLY INTRODUCE THOSE PEOPLE INTO buses that take them immediately to Morocco, from where it's known they're coming

    Wow first Morocco renames their highway after Trump, then joins the ISF to invade Gaza, then hosts hundreds of rabbis for some pilgrimage, and now they’re sending hundreds if not thousands of men to Spain.

    Lest we forget about Trump’s hatred for Spain. Coincidence? https://x.com/BowesChay/status/20828...994319/video/1

    The Moroccan invasion of Ceuta today, a Spanish autonomous city south of Gibraltar, may be a joint operation with US-Isreal to take control of the Strait of Gibraltar from Spain.

    They might seek to punish Spain for being pro-Palestine while seizing control of Mediterranean navigation, a key naval choke point.

    When I read that Trump and Israel caused this immigration problem, I think I swallowed my own disbelief. You do know that Spain has immigration laws, but in reality, Spain, especially in certain regions, has a history of allowing in a significant undocumented immigrant population. They take what they consider a pragmatic approach to eventually legalize their status and integrate them into society. So in reality, the Government of Spain should be sending President Trump a thank you note.

    Kathleen Tyson is the epitome of evil. She masquerades as a multipolar champion, but the truth is she's a global architect. "She is a British financial expert, historian, and the founder and CEO of PacemakerGlobal, a consultancy focused on the transition to a multipolar global economy. She describes herself as an "architect of global capital markets" and began her career as a central banker at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York."

    Gypsies and Moroccans are the main reason why I never want to go to Spain ever again . Both are troublemakers and every year there is more of them.


    This 30 000 nr seems high. Or probably today it was just the first wave of invaders . Will be thousands more every day for weeks ? will see.

    Today's events have been building in recent weeks, with the key context being:

    1.) A Spanish Supreme Court ruling 3 weeks ago that pushbacks for people who swim in to Ceuta from Moroccan territory are not permitted.

    2.) The cementing of a thaw in Spanish-Algerian relations with Sanchez's visit to Algiers last week.

    Whatever the organic reaction inside Morocco to 1.), Rabat is clearly looking to remind Spain of its role as its outsourced border guard, as the Sanchez admin seeks increased gas from, and closer ties with, Algeria. For any journalist who has visited Spain's two North African cities, it is obvious such mass incursions only happen when the Moroccan authorities enable them, as in 2021 in Ceuta and 2022 in Melilla.

    Yet also highly likely that today's events had the enthusiastic support of Washington - another front in Trump admin's attempts to undermine the Spanish government. This comes after the US Homeland Security department sent the contents of a cloned phone belonging to Venezuelan businessman to investigators at the Spanish High Court - that in turn enabled the opening of a formal investigation into former PM Zapatero, a key Sanchez ally.

    https://x.com/EoghanGilmartin/status...30972408856863





    Eoghan Gilmartin

    To what extent do the scenes of thousands of Moroccans streaming into Ceuta today reflect part of US attempts to destabilize the Spanish government (retaliation for its policy on Iran/Israel)?

    Comes just after Morocco joined Trump's Gaza Peace Board and announcing the highway from Southern Morocco to occupied Western Sahara would be named after Trump.

    Could be pressure on Sanchez to move further on Western Sahara or accept Casablanca as the location for the 2030 World Cup final but either way, Rabat is most likely acting with the support of the US

    he other key element here is Spain's improved relationship with Algeria - confirmed by Sanchez's official visit to the country on the way back from the World Cup final. Rabat looking to remind Spain of its role as its outsourced border guard, as the Sanchez admin looks for increased gas from Algeria

    During the last week of July, tensions have mounted along the border between Spain and Morocco as thousands of migrants have attempted to cross from Castillejos and other Moroccan border areas into Ceuta, one of Spain’s two cities in Africa.

    On Thursday, thousands of young Moroccans headed to the border between Castillejos and Ceuta in an attempt to cross the fence separating the two cities. In previous days, hundreds tried to reach the city by swimming, and dozens died in the attempt.

    The Ceuta government estimates that up to 2,000 people have entered the city over the past 10 days. “That figure is equivalent to 2% of the city’s entire population,” explained Juan Vivas, president of the Spanish autonomous city.

    On Wednesday, Spain’s Maritime Rescue Service rescued more than 300 migrants, ages 18 to 30, from the sea, and authorities estimated that 800 Moroccans and Algerians attempted to swim into Ceuta, most of them intercepted by Moroccan patrol boats. In addition, the Civil Guard recovered the bodies of two migrants who died while trying to cross by swimming.

    So far this year, 29 migrants have died along Ceuta’s coastline, six of them since the current migration flow began on July 25. Vivas, however, maintains that 60 bodies have been recovered over the past month. The situation has not yet reached the scale of the 2021 crisis, when 10,000 people entered Ceuta amid a diplomatic dispute between Rabat and Madrid.

    Morocco has a history of blackmailing Spain by flooding Spain’s two autonomous cities in North Africa, Ceuta and Melilla, with migrants.

    Whenever Spain warms relations with Algeria, Morocco’s adversary, Morocco opens the floodgates.

    This happened in both 2021 and 2022.

    Lol one guy brought a bicycle with him .
    Most of them have nothing with them, not even a shirt . Why ?
    Because leftist organisations will come and give them clothes , food , sleeping bags etc .
    They will throw them away in the morning and will get new ones in the evening .
    I worked next to a junkie clinic in Barcelona , i saw it happen every time when i worked. People just discard their things in the morning and get new things in the evening. Free drugs from clinic in the morning that they will sell or trade for some other drugs and not a care in the world.
    Why take care of yourself when others will do it for you ? Over the years i saw nobody get better but very much worse. Started to wonder what is the point of this clinic ? Seemed more like a legal ¨crackhouse¨ but its the taxpayers who pay for the drugs not the junkies.
    But some will get filthy rich in this process so its ok ...
    Large part of these invaders will just become pickpockets and drug dealers. Even the ones who manage to get free apartment and welfare will use their free time to hustle drugs or pickpocket tourists. Seen it so many times. Disgusting.

    🇲🇦🇮🇱🇪🇸 The Moroccan regime is openly cooperating militarily with Israel

    They are helping Israel with arms shipments

    Both countries also have joint military exercises very often

    Someone organized those men and lied to them that they were about to leave for Spain, even though Ceuta is physically cut off from mainland Spain.

    But Who?

    Not long ago Spain refused to accept ships carrying weapons destined for Israel into its ports.

    Those ships were accepted by Morocco.

    Someone wants complete control of the Strait of Gibraltar now that the Red Sea is closed to Israeli ships. Guess who it is?

    VERY IMPORTANT

    https://congress.gov/119/crpt/hrpt63...119hrpt631.pdf

    In this U.S. Congress Report, on page 88, for the first time a U.S. Congress body uses this language regarding Ceuta and Melilla:

    "The Committee continues assistance to Morocco in support of United States national security interests and directs not less than 20,000,000 dollars under the National Security Investment Programs and not less than 20,000,000 dollars under the Foreign Military Financing Program.
    The Committee notes the historic alliance between the United States and Morocco, formalized in 1786 by the Moroccan-American Treaty of Peace and Friendship. The Committee notes that the cities administered by Spain of Ceuta and Melilla are located on Moroccan territory and remain the subject of Morocco's longstanding claim. The Committee supports the Secretary of State's efforts to foster diplomatic engagement between Morocco and Spain on the future status of Ceuta and Melilla. It urges Secretary of State Marco Rubio to promote diplomatic dialogue on their future status"

    Even then, the Moroccan press echoed it.
    Here, for whatever reason, the press decided to turn a blind eye, despite it being the first time a U.S. Congress body referred to Ceuta and

    Melilla in these terms —describing them as “administered by Spain” but located on “Moroccan territory” and subject to Morocco's claim—

    urging Secretary of State Marco Rubio —whom we saw receiving instructions from Netanyahu at Lindsey Graham's funeral— to promote

    diplomatic dialogue on their “future status”.
