NRI Latest News: Migrants flood across Spain’s border from Africa: The Spanish government sparked outrage by temporarily closing a whole airport and chartering eight flights to bring 3,000 African immigrants across the border.
The influx, comprised mostly of fighting-age men, has set off outrage throughout the country. When the immigrants arrived, they were put up in taxpayer-funded hotels, fueling furor.
Spaniards in housing crunch as unemployment grows: Even as the government is welcoming migrants with open arms, things have been getting worse economically for young Spaniards. House-market meltdown: Not even better, youth unemployment stands abysmally high. Such contrast between generosity to immigrants and suffering of native residents has sharpened the grievances across Spain. More shocking reports have told of retired citizens rummaging through garbage bins for something to eat or self-feeding on waste thrown out of restaurants.
This is reason: Social media reacts on video: The verdict proved not only to be outrage-ous but also akin to some form of betrayal. Social media sites are filled with commentary, one individual proclaiming on The Rational Post: “Replace all references to Spain with references to Canada and the comparison holds. Or Ireland. Or America. Or England. Or Greece. Or Italy. Or France. Or Portugal. It’s almost like there is a central governing entity. Nah. That’s conspiracy. Time for my mpox booster!” This comment reveals a sentiment that these migrations are part of some grander gesture – coordinated through all the Western nations.
