@Felix_Nuno@MichaelShurkin Plenty of bots and influencers primed and ready to go though. Only to be disappointed that the whole fiasco was sorted in a day without bloodshed. In the US ICE has shot their own citizens to death. Still they lecture Europe on how to handle migration
@LauraLoomer Have you failed to meet Ukrainian Muslims fighting against Russian aggression? The Moroccans that stormed the border are now back in Morocco, not a single Spanish citizen died or was injured as part of this. Instead of Muslim fear-mongering you should be asking who incited this
@1stFinFreecorps@Felix_Nuno I have plenty of respect for the Finns manning the northern border. I'm more concerned with Russian green men carrying guns. These Moroccans did less damage than the average French riot.
@1stFinFreecorps@Felix_Nuno So to be clear my take is: Spain failed in preparedness but actually managed the crisis pretty well. Pretty sure those that masterminded this were hoping for rivers of blood and bodies lining up the border so they can pump their influence campaigns and prop their divisive agenda
@1stFinFreecorps@Felix_Nuno I'm not a peace loving hippie - I understand the risks. But as the outcome proved, they did the right thing considering the limited resources at hand. But yes, more resources needed at the border to dissuade further attempts.
@1stFinFreecorps@Felix_Nuno Maybe the world would have been a better place if he had the necessary support at the time. But some naive people thought they could placate Russia by strengthening commercial ties.
@1stFinFreecorps@Felix_Nuno I agree. But force should be applied on the folks masterminding and facilitating these actions, not on clueless unarmed people that were sold a pipe dream and now realized they were duped.
@1stFinFreecorps@Felix_Nuno Now intelligence agencies need to follow the breadcrumbs and act accordingly. This was clearly organised by entities bent on breaking Europe. They're going to fail as usual.
@1stFinFreecorps@Felix_Nuno Maybe not for the promised land people, but the days of savagery are gone. Thankfully cooler heads prevailed, bloodshed was avoided and people are going back on their own feet. As of now few remain. That said maximum pressure should be put on Morocco for facilitating this stunt.
@1stFinFreecorps@Felix_Nuno Not according to the hard data. What happened yesterday was an outlier and people are going back on their own feet or being rounded up and deported. They're not going anywhere. Seems a well engineered psyops to rattle european unity. https://t.co/uOaXz6XmUY
I express my solidarity with Spain in the current situation of illegal migration in Ceuta.
While third-country nationals in Ceuta do not enjoy free movement to mainland Spain or the rest of the Schengen area, Spainโs firm response, including ongoing accelerated returns, demonstrates our determination to protect our external borders, combat illegal migration, and dismantle criminal smuggling networks.
I welcome Spainโs close cooperation with Morocco in addressing this shared challenge and ensuring swift returns.
We will remain in close contact with the Spanish authorities in the coming days.
Morocco apparently deciding to behave like Putin's Russia and weaponise desperate migrants is going to backfire very, very badly.
And quite frankly, the EU should aggressively punish the Moroccan government for its behaviour around #Ceuta@vonderleyen@steph_sejourne
@camalees@romeu Para quรช? Ninguรฉm sai de Ceuta e Melilla sem passaporte. Aquela malta nรฃo sai de lรก. E vamos entalar o comรฉrcio intrafronteiriรงo por um ๐ป? O que faz sentido รฉ sancionar o estado de Marrocos por permitir e incentivar este teatro
