Abascal asks migrants in Ceuta to leave "running" and stirs up the racist hoax of the "great replacement"

The far-right Vox has taken advantage of the images of tension during the transfer of migrants to the port of Ceuta to redouble its offensive against the Moroccan population. Santiago Abascal has asked that those who remain in the city leave "running", while his party has registered an initiative in Congress to prevent the entry, transit, and permanence of Moroccan citizens.

The president of Vox has shared a video on X in which several people were running to try to access the temporary camp set up by the Government. "This is how they should leave: running. And the sooner the better," he wrote.

The images corresponded to the transfer of 1,700 migrants from the beaches of Benítez and El Trampolín. The operation experienced moments of tension early in the morning, with races and police actions to organize those seeking a place, but it ended before 1:00 p.m. without significant altercations.

Abascal has described the operation as "absolutely Dantean" and has spoken of "human avalanches". He has also demanded the immediate return of all people who entered Ceuta at the end of July, including minors, and has again defended hot expulsions.

"Ceuta is the example and the destiny of the place to which Sánchez's betrayal leads us," he proclaimed from Tarragona. The far-right leader accompanied his speech with references to sexual assaults, robberies, occupations, and looting that he generally attributed to the migrant presence.

The offensive has also reached Congress. Vox's far-right members have presented a non-legislative proposal to deny visas to all Moroccan citizens until Rabat "publicly, expressly, and unequivocally" recognizes the Spanishness of Ceuta, Melilla, the Chafarinas Islands, the Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera, Perejil, and the islands and the Peñón de Alhucemas.

The initiative, which must be debated in the Foreign Affairs Committee and has no binding effects for the Government, proposes that Spain prevent the entry, transit, or permanence of Moroccan nationals. Its scope would indiscriminately punish workers, students, families, and visitors for the decisions of Mohamed VI's Government.

Vox accuses Morocco of acting as a "hostile actor" and of using "migratory blackmail" to bend Spain. It also blames Rabat for the insecurity and deterioration of living conditions in Ceuta, without differentiating between the possible actions of the Moroccan authorities and the tens of thousands of citizens used as objects of its retaliation.

The "replacement" theory and the expulsion of minors

Abascal has taken his discourse a step further by accusing Pedro Sánchez of wanting to "replace the Spanish people" through massive regularizations and nationalizations. The statement revives the conspiratorial theory of the "great replacement", disseminated for years by racist movements and far-right European parties to present immigration as an organized plan of demographic substitution.

The leader of the far-right Vox has not provided any evidence to support the existence of this alleged project. Regularizations and grants of nationality are subject to legal procedures, residency requirements, deadlines, and administrative controls.

"Sánchez is the only one who does not defend the return of illegals and minors to Morocco," Abascal assured. The Government maintains that people without the right to remain in Spain will be returned, although each case must be processed individually.

In the case of minors, legislation requires verifying their identity, family situation, and reception conditions before any return. A collective expulsion like that demanded by Vox would ignore these guarantees and the principle of the best interests of the child.

Abascal has also used the crisis to pressure the president of Ceuta, Juan Jesús Vivas. He has demanded that he break his agreements with the Movement for Dignity and Citizenship (MDyC), a Ceuta-based party he has called "Islamist," and that he form a coalition government between PP and Vox.

The ultra leader's verbal toughening reached other issues this Friday. Asked about the aggression suffered in Oviedo by two AMA Asturies activists, one of them beaten and kicked in the head, Abascal accused the victims of using violent language. "Things like this happen to people who do that," he stated in remarks reported by 'El Comercio'.

The National Police has arrested five young people for their alleged participation in the aggression, committed to the cry of "fucking reds," "fucking faggots," and "long live Spain." Investigators are working with the possible existence of a homophobic motivation and a hate crime.
