"Save Us From Our Traitor Gov't": Massive Madrid Protests Erupt Over Socialist Regime's Handling Of Ceuta Invasion

Spain's Ceuta border invasion has morphed into a major political headache for Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. Tens of thousands of Spaniards took to the streets of Madrid to protest the government's handling of the crisis, potentially accelerating the political shift identified by Nomura analysts, who expect right-wing populist movements to gain traction across Europe during the next 18-month election cycle.

About 72,000 migrants, many reportedly military-age men, invaded the Spanish enclave from neighboring Morocco in late July. The scale and apparent coordination of the invasion raised concerns that Ceuta had been targeted through weaponized migration flows. The influx plunged the enclave, which has a population of approximately 84,000, into utter chaos for weeks.

By mid-August, a second wave of military-age men attempted to storm the Ceuta border, but that effort largely fell flat.

Although most of the migrants were quickly returned or repatriated, the surge overwhelmed local resources, left at least 90 people dead and sparked serious questions about Madrid's open border policies. Italy's continued border checks on arrivals from Spain further show how the Ceuta crisis is reverberating well beyond Spain's borders.

About a month and a half after the first migrant wave, the political backlash against Sánchez and the Socialists in Madrid is mounting. AP News reported that more than 50,000 protesters demonstrated against the Socialists over the lack of border enforcement on Wednesday.

Waving Spanish flags, demonstrators shouted, "A united Ceuta will never be defeated," "Sánchez to prison" and "Invaders, go home!" referring to the thousands of migrants still in the city.

Reuters reported that the number of Spaniards who demonstrated against the Socialist government was closer to 80,000. The protest coincided with the annual Ceuta Day. Demonstrators waved Spanish flags and blew whistles as they chanted, "Ceuta is not for sale; Ceuta must be defended."

Increíble.

One demonstrator's sign read, "SOS. Europe, save us from our traitor government," while some demanded that authorities "expel the invaders" and others called for Sánchez to resign.

"The response has been inadequate, late and, to top it all, has involved a complete dereliction of duty on the part of the government. We cannot be second-class citizens, and our border must not be sidelined," said David Hernandez, a 45-year-old teacher who demonstrated yesterday.

Sánchez told lawmakers on Thursday that there was no evidence that the border invasion had been orchestrated or carried out by Moroccan authorities.

"I can assure you that no institution, not the diplomatic service, the European Commission or any international body, has provided the Spanish government with any solid evidence that Morocco planned or carried out the incident. None whatsoever," Sánchez said.

The growing outrage against Sánchez and the Socialists in Madrid only builds on the expanding backlash across Europe. Nomura analyst Andrzej Szczepaniak now expects right-wing parties to make significant gains across Germany, France, Spain, Switzerland and the UK over the next 18 months.

The right-wing Alternative for Germany is poised to win Germany's Saxony-Anhalt election this Sunday, while other polling data show that Marine Le Pen has a good chance of winning the French election next year.

The blowback against left-wing governments in Europe has also been spreading like wildfire across South America. Right-wing Sen. Flávio Bolsonaro is neck and neck with Socialist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva ahead of next month's election. Much of South America has already rejected socialism, including in Colombia's recent presidential election, which ushered in a Trump-backed president.

By mid-2026, South America had already flipped. Argentina under Milei, Chile under Kast, Colombia under de la Espriella, Peru under Keiko Fujimori, Ecuador under Noboa, Bolivia under Paz and Paraguay under Peña all sit on the political right.

The larger theme is that nation-killing socialism is being rejected.

Putin Outraged At Norway's Seizure Of Russian Expedition Vessel In Arctic Waters: 'State Terror'

The Kremlin is outraged, with President Putin on Thursday blasting Norway for "state terrorism" in the immediate wake of the Scandinavian country's seizure of the Russian vessel Professor Molchanov as it was at the remote Arctic archipelago of Svalbard. Moscow officials are also calling it a brazen "act of piracy".

What makes this development particularly alarming amid the backdrop of now somewhat 'routine' EU action against Russian 'shadow fleet' vessels is that 1) the vessel is used for commercial expedition cruises, 2) Norway was acting at the request of the Ukrainian government for 'compensation', and 3) the seizure happened in the Arctic region, some 500 miles north of the Norwegian mainland in international waters/port area.

Putin while speaking at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok called out Ukraine's Western backers as being "complicit in international terrorism" with this and other issues, also specifically President Zelensky's recent declarations that Ukrainian drones will 'close Russian skies' to commercial aviation.

The Associated Press summarizes Oslo's motives in the following:

A court in Norway ordered the seizure as part of efforts by Ukraine’s state energy company Naftogaz to recover a $4.22 billion arbitration award. It stems from Russia’s 2014 illegal annexation of Crimea and its seizure of Ukrainian energy assets, including gas fields and pipelines.

After Russia’s refusal to pay the 2023 award, Naftogaz has been petitioning national courts seeking orders to seize Russian commercial assets.

In this particular case, the ship has been held at port, and was not sailing at the time:

The first group to announce the ship's seizure was Covington, the US law firm representing Naftogaz as it tries to secure the compensation awarded to it by the Permanent Court of Arbitration in the Hague in 2023. 

Russia had refused to pay the fine plus legal fees and interest amid its ongoing war with Ukraine, and Naftogaz has since begun trying to secure the seizure and forced sale of Russian commercial assets via local courts instead. 

...Covington said it had been tracking the ship, the Professor Molchanov, for months. It said its application was approved on Monday by the Nord-Troms and Senja District Court, which ordered Svalbard's governor to ensure the ship stayed in dock once it arrived.

Ukraine state Naftogaz's acting CEO Sergii Fedorenko celebrated the move: "Russia cannot evade ​responsibility simply by refusing to comply with an international arbitral award," he said.

Russia's ambassador to Norway, Nikolai Korchunov, said Thursday: "We insist on the immediate release of the vessel and on ensuring the safety of its passengers and crew." 

The state-owned ship arrived in Barentsburg on Tuesday with a group of Russian scientists on board, European media reports indictate.

"The seizure has had no impact on the expedition participants or the ship's crew. No one has been arrested. We are all going about our business as usual," Andrei Gorbunov, editor-in-chief of Komsomolskaya Pravda (KP) has stated.

This is a clear escalation at sea, given now EU countries are going after what are essentially Russian cruise and expedition ships in remote Arctic regions. It's highly dangerous given Russia could now see itself as justified as doing the same in the case of Norwegian or other European vessels which carry passengers.
