• Violence Riots in France: "This crisis is 10 times more virulent than that of 2005"
  • 23-J Vox, from the shadows to the limelight: "We are not the devil, it is already agreed with us"

The violent incidents that France has been experiencing since last Wednesday, after the death of a 17-year-old boy caused by the shooting of a policeman at a checkpoint on the outskirts of Paris the day before, have been used by Santiago Abascal to charge against immigration in Spain.

The president of Vox has alluded to the riots produced in several French cities during the mini-tour of pre-electoral campaign that has made this weekend by Catalonia, yesterday in Barcelona and this morning in Tarragona, the capitals of the two provinces of the region where the party would have a priori more possibilities of obtaining parliamentary representation on July 23 (in the 2019 general elections, he obtained two deputies for Barcelona).

For Abascal, who has compared the French situation to the beginning of a war, "it is "very worrying" that the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, "speaks of nonsense and flags from Brussels and is unable to say a single word of what in France is about to become a real civil war. "

"We have to be very attentive because Spain is also coming to the policy of mass immigration, of tolerance with crime, that those arrested are taken out of a door of the police station an hour after having declared and that there are people loose with a terrible amount of background and who end up committing sexual crimes and robberies," said the leader of Vox this noon in statements to the press.

Abascal, in addition, has taken advantage of his presence in Catalonia to argue that in this autonomous community "some have opted for massive and illegal immigration", which in his opinion "can only lead to the deterioration of public services and crime". "A society like ours is incapable of assimilating a massive immigration of that nature and comes, in addition, from places where there are many people unable to adapt to our laws and our culture," said the leader of the ultraconservative party.

The equivalence between the arrival of foreigners to Spain and insecurity was also the protagonist of some of the harangues that Abascal pronounced yesterday at the rally he offered in Barcelona with the secretary general of Vox, Ignacio Garriga, the head of the list in the province for the 23-J, Juanjo Aizcorbe, and the spokesman in the Catalan Parliament, Joan Garriga: "At the moment there is a Europe threatened by mobs of anti-Europeans who are not willing to adapt to our way of life and our laws and who think that we are the ones who have to adapt."

Multiculturalism

The leader of what is currently the third force with the largest representation in Congress, with 52 seats, continued in his plea against the diversity of cultures in the same territory: "We were sold by the progressives that multiculturalism was like Disneyland, but that project has only existed in the imagination of the left." "For them, who are privileged, it consists of going to spend the money at the latest Lebanese trendy restaurant," he said ironically in contrast to "the problems of coexistence and crime suffered by humble people, workers and the middle classes of Europe."

Abascal went further, accusing immigrants of "vandalizing police stations, burning libraries and stabbing babies." In addition, he blamed French President Emmanuel Macron for provoking "the civil war that he predicted", during the last electoral campaign, "that would occur if Marine Le Pen arrived at the Elysée".

According to Abascal, it is not inequality that has led some to act with violence in France, but "culture": "Spaniards and humble Europeans are doing something else: to combat the increase in the cost of living, to bring bread home, to provide a better education for their children, to raise their families and to protect their own from those barbarians that others have put in their neighborhoods. "

"They say they come to pay pensions, but they bring crimes such as gang rapes, which have multiplied during Sánchez's mandate," he concluded, comparing Spain again.
