it feels like the campaign to bring down pedro sanchez is still in full swing. from my perspective, migrants are being funneled toward `spain`, videos are quickly amplified across x, and the reaction is almost always the same. after `elon musk`'s takeover, the platform has become much more receptive to right wing narratives, and the response follows a familiar pattern. the left is blamed. sanchez is blamed. then come the sarcastic comments like, "why don't you take them into your own home?" then, of course, `giorgia meloni` enters the conversation by calling for schengen rules to be suspended for `spain`. the political logic seems obvious. if life becomes harder for ordinary spaniards, public frustration is more likely to be directed at sanchez.

following king mohammed vi of morocco's decision yesterday to pardon nearly two thousand prisoners, thousands of people reportedly headed today toward ceuta and melilla in north africa.

although both ceuta and melilla are located on the north african coast, they are spanish territories and part of the schengen area, which means they are legally spanish soil.

according to reports, many of the migrants were dropped off at the spanish border in trucks and vans.
