If any European country is in a state of collapse, it is Spain. It’s new far-left government is busying itself trying to exhume General Francisco Franco in a spiteful act of virtue signaling/grave desecration, even as Catalonian separatism and mass immigration have the potential to tear the country apart [Spain’s Socialist leader sets a new course on migrants, gender, and Catalonia, by Jessica Jones, NPR, July 9, 2018].
Yet Spain’s humiliation reached a new low in recent days as a mob of Africans, some wiedling homemade weapons such as flamethrowers, contempously stormed across the country’s borders in a literal armed invasion. Naturally, they all appear to be men of military age from Africa, not women and children from Syria or some other war-torn country. The only war that exists is the one they are bringing to Europe.
Hundreds of migrants armed with sticks and homemade flamethrowers broke through the border fence in Ceuta, according to the Spanish Civil Guard. Over 100 migrants and 15 border agents were injured in the fight.
“Over 700 sub-Saharans” attempted to storm the border fence, the Civil Guard said in a statement, adding that “at least 602” of them managed to cross the barriers. Volunteers and the local branch of the Red Cross said that 132 migrants sustained injuries, while 11 had to be taken to a local hospital …
Migrants were also reportedly fighting off the border agents with sticks, quicklime and sprays containing fouls odor. The migrants appeared over the fence and "all of a sudden,", some of them were pelting police with "plastic containers full of excrements and quicklime … stones and sticks", the Civil Guard said …
Back in June, newly appointed Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska announced his desire to remove the fence. “I’m going to do everything possible to see that these razor wire fences at Ceuta and Melilla are removed,” he said.
Responding to the Thursday incident in Ceuta, the Guardia Civil’s AEGC union called upon the Spanish authorities to clarify its “plan B” to maintain security if the wire was removed.
“We're one of the main entry points from the third world into Europe and none of those in charge at the interior ministry have wanted to see or resolve the problems this is causing,” it said.

What exactly is the purpose of the Spanish government? The monarchy? Any of the institutions of law and order? Maybe the anarchists from the Spanish Civil War had the right idea. If the state isn’t going to fulfill its basic responsiblities, just abolish the whole thing so decent citizens don’t have to pay for the farce.
