The reign in Spain of virtue-signaling on mass migration ended abruptly yesterday, after less than two weeks. Even the socialists in Europe are starting to realize that their populace does not want millions more impoverished "migrants" from cultures and religions that shun assimilation and consider generous welfare subsidies as tribute from the infidels, a signal of weakness and submission. Dramatic evidence is provided by Spain, which just this month installed the secretary-general of the Spanish Socialist Workers' party, Pedro Sánchez, as prime minister.
When Italy's new populist government refused to allow the M.S. Aquarius, jammed with 629 North Africans, to land, and turned it away, Spain stepped up and allowed the refugees entry to Spain and, because of the Schengen Agreement that ended border barriers, the entire E.U.
In a statement the country's new prime minister, Pedro Sanchez, said he had given permission for the MS Aquarius to dock in Valencia, adding his country would welcome all those on board.
Sanchez went on say that "It is our duty to help avoid a humanitarian catastrophe and offer a safe harbour to these people in accordance with international law."
I can only surmise that P.M. Sánchez got some blowback, because yesterday, he started following the lead of the Italian populists. Deutsche Welle, from Angela Merkel's Germany, reports:
Spanish Economic Development Minister Jose Luis Abalos said on Monday that his country would not offer docking to a NGO boat carrying some 230 migrants rescued at sea, saying Spain could not "become the sea rescue organization for all of Europe."
His remarks come after the boat, operated by German NGO Mission Lifeline, was turned away by both Italy and Malta, with German lawmakers who have visited the stranded vessel speaking of worsening conditions on board, and a possible humanitarian emergency.

I am absolutely, 100% convinced that our President Trump has paved the way and shown the world you can TOO force evil out of the car.
By George, I think they've got it!
How about sending the ship back to Africa? How about sanctioning all of these NGOs which are operating out of Europe?
The solutions are right in front of the EU, but they won’t see it.
“saying Spain could not “become the sea rescue organization for all of Europe.”
Send them to Marseilles. Macron would take them.

Marseilles is a hellhole already-—they would fit right in.

Human trafficking....?
Apply EO of 12/21/17
Unfortunately, like in the 5th century, Germany is part of the problem not the solution.
The EU should take those “migrants” and dump them off at at uninhabited island in French Polynesia.

Macron has already refused entry overland from Italy to the half-million that the Italians are trying to get rid of.
Bremerhaven or Keil might have dock space for them? They are a German organization flying a false flag from the Netherlands after all.
Spanish public opinion is strongly anti-immigrant.
This was a losing policy for the very weak coalition government.
LOL - that didn’t take long
It’s far too late...unless they begin immediate mass deportations
