When Spain sent Columbus on his voyage in 1492 they had just finished off the Muslims in the Battle of Granada. That was the last enclave of Muslim rule at the time. Muslims have been trying to take over Spain for a long time, and have done so in the past. The question is whether modern Spain has the political resolve and will to do anything about it this time around. If the PM is hanging out with Soros, probably not.

Practical thing for Spain to do is just give it to them. In no time at all, whatever is nice there won’t be !

Spain has no real need to be on the African Continent. It will or has already become another “S…t Hole.

It got bad enough that he finally deployed the military to try and control it.

Edit apparently only to help the migrants lol

"People are still entering. The reinforcements, including Spanish military troops, that have arrived are only helping the injured and other humanitarian efforts,” he said. “It’s chaotic.”

This is insane.

The fact that it is being fully facilitated by the Spanish government is nuts.

I have somewhat lost faith in our system of governance, but if there is any reason to never vote left, their motivation to do this everywhere they gain power is enough.

Don't absolve the Moroccan authorities in all of this. They are co-facilitators . But, if I were Sanchez, I might want to invest in a house in Paraguay or the Maldives because his days in office are numbered and I suspect his neighbors might not be too happy with him.

I am not, but the onus to protect a country falls on its leaders.

This is 90% Spain’s fault.

Nothing will happen to him.

Spanish citizens are as weak as the French and Canadians.

Just wait until the Sagrada Família gets attacked and, still, nothing happens.

These countries and people are broken beyond repair.

We'll see. Francoism has seen a rise in popularity among young Spaniards, and the most recent regional elections showed a shift to the right.

Marine LePen is leading the polls for the French presidency despite Macron trying to get her imprisoned so she couldn't run.

Furthermore, the AfD party is leading the German polls despite the media doing their best to ignore them.

Even in Ireland, Sinn Féin popularity has started declining, and their politicians are being called traitors.

Point being, Europe still seems to have a pulse. The next elections across the continent will likely determine if they can revive themselves.
