Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has urged Spain to tighten border controls after tens of thousands of migrants entered the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, saying Madrid must follow Warsaw’s example “if Schengen is to survive.”

    What the hell even happened there? Morocco relaxed borders and immigrants flooded Ceuta? As far as I read 37k out of 61k went right back shortly after that as well. Some 60 also drowned.

    But what were they even fleeing from? Were they paid to do this move and took the opportunity out of desperation?

    It all seems weird as hell.

          The speed at what the Italian fascist responded closing the fucking schengen border really seems…coordinated. But what do I know.

          Fascism causes problems and claims they’re solving them, while capitalism causes fascism. But out of the ashes of capitalism, we shall rebuild liberated socialism and communism - by council and by the commoner!

      Morocco shipped trucks full of “immigrants” to the due to “special circumstances” relaxed border, soon after Israel threatened Spain with immigrant waves. Most of the “immigrants”, with no luggage, walked back after.

      Not fleeing per se, just wanting better opportunities. Some of them might be unemployed and desperate, but most likely none of them had guns to their heads if that’s what you’re asking.

        Not a literal gun perhaps, but as you said, they’re desperate, so a metaphorical gun is certainly to their heads.
