To cover up S\u00e1nchez's cowardice in the face of this Moroccan aggression, <strong>the left has been promoting a blatant distraction campaign for days in which the bad guys are the United States, Israel and Italy<\/strong>, but not the African country that sent tens of thousands of illegal immigrants to attack Ceuta.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, we have <strong>a far right (the real one) that shares some of its greatest prejudices with the left and the far left:<\/strong> anti-liberalism, hatred of the United States and Israel (that old anti-Semitism now disguised as \"anti-Zionism\"), and also the attempt to end the 1978 constitutional regime and the parliamentary monarchy. <strong>Both sides care much less about Spain than about their ideological agendas<\/strong>, which is why Russia and Iran have long been casting their nets in the waters of both extremes: because <strong>communists and fascists have no qualms about harming their own countries<\/strong> by contributing to instability that benefits the enemies of the West, if it means gaining some advantage that lifts them out of the marginalization in which they are normally mired.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Because of this, the true far right is torn when it comes to Ceuta<\/strong>, like in the famous Alejandro Sanz song. On the one hand, they dislike S\u00e1nchez and his immigration policies, but at the same time, <strong>this far right has been unable to resist the temptation to join the left's distraction campaign<\/strong>, so these days we see many of its activists doing Pedro S\u00e1nchez a huge favor while simultaneously claiming to reject him.<\/p>\n<p>So, <strong>these days we have activists from the left, far left, and far right campaigning against the US, Israel<\/strong>, and the monarchy, with such astonishing harmony that sometimes it's hard to tell them apart. <strong>They even pat each other on the back<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/elentirvigo\/status\/2085990202011471997\" target=\"_blank\">as the socialist minister \u00d3scar Puente did today<\/a> with one of those bright sparks who sees Israel's hand behind every bad thing that happens to Spain. <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/VlpQk\" target=\"_blank\">A guy who in November was calling for support for Tucker Carlson<\/a> while that charlatan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adl.org\/resources\/backgrounder\/tucker-carlson\" target=\"_blank\">was actively promoting antisemitism<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/raskin.house.gov\/2024\/9\/statement-from-jewish-members-of-the-house-of-representatives-regarding-interview-between-tucker-carlson-and-nazi-apologist-darryl-cooper\" target=\"_blank\">was whitewashing Holocaust revisionists<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2025\/02\/11\/tucker-carlsons-pro-russian-hoaxes-and-the-reason-for-their-zero-cost-among-his-followers\/\">was spreading pro-Russian misinformation<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iranintl.com\/en\/202507084327\" target=\"_blank\">acted as a mouthpiece for the Iranian Islamist dictatorship<\/a>. This is the same guy who now spends his days attacking Vox for having the decency to support the only democracy in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, this whole situation is proving revealing about <strong>the consequences of the deluge of propaganda and conspiracy theories that some dictatorships have unleashed on the West<\/strong>, both to bolster their positions among allied countries and to weaken Western democracies. The result is that <strong>for many people, facts now matter less than the hatred fueled by ideological garbage for years<\/strong>. They don't care that Israel is the only democratic country in their region or that it lives under siege from Islamist terrorism. <strong>Hatred of Israel, as fanatical and irrational as old-fashioned antisemitism, ends up clouding reason so much that it prevails over any other consideration<\/strong>, making it easy for the victims of this propaganda to swallow any lie against the only Jewish state.<\/p>\n<p>I don't know what will happen in 2027, if the general elections in Spain aren't brought forward, but <strong>what I am sure of is that if S\u00e1nchez manages to stay in power, he should be grateful to that far right that hates Israel much more than it claims to love Spain<\/strong>, and which is currently helping the left to destroy our ties of friendship with a country that has more experience than any other in combating the threat of Islamist terrorism. <strong>Some will say that perhaps there are hidden interests behind all this<\/strong>, but I've long been convinced that there's a simpler explanation for how some people allow themselves to be manipulated: stupidity.<\/p>\n<p>---<\/p>\n<p><small>Image: <a href=\"https:\/\/centrodedescargas.cnig.es\/CentroDescargas\/busquedaRedirigida.do?ruta=HISTORICOS\/MTN25HISTORICOS\/MTN25-1110c3-2018-Ceuta.ZIP#\" target=\"_blank\">Instituto Geogr\u00e1fico Nacional<\/a>.<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The migratory invasion suffered by the Spanish city of Ceuta is causing some curious movements in Spanish politics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[11415,10398],"tags":[6682,11829,1653,10497,10873,95,2721,10796,11462],"class_list":["post-66588","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-1-plana-english","category-spain","tag-oscar-puente","tag-antisemitism","tag-ceuta","tag-far-left","tag-far-right","tag-israel","tag-pedro-sanchez-castejon","tag-socialism","tag-spain"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-08-15 13:59:34","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66588","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=66588"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66588\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=66588"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=66588"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=66588"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
