Spain Erupts: Patriots Attacked By Socialist Mob Over Mass Illegal Migrant Amnesty

Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news,

Violence broke out in the Spanish city of Granada when roughly 40 left-wing Antifa extremists tried to shut down a pre-election rally held by the nationalist party Vox in Plaza de las Pasiegas. Police had to form a cordon between the rival groups as fights broke out, delaying the event by around 30 minutes.

Vox leader Santiago Abascal refused to start the rally until the disruptors were removed. He stepped down from the platform, walked toward the rival group with supporters, and crowds chanted “Out, out!” as tensions spilled over. Abascal directly accused authorities of failing to protect free speech, stating: “They are preventing us from carrying out this act freely.”

He went further, blaming the unrest on the very politicians who enabled it: “They are the ones who put Sánchez in La Moncloa.”

Footage shows red paint thrown at attendees, shouting matches, and police struggling to keep the sides apart. Smaller groups of protesters reappeared near the square after the rally began, mobilized via social media.

The clashes come just days after Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s socialist government approved plans to grant legal status, jobs, and benefits to around 500,000 migrants — with analysts warning the real number could hit 800,000.

As we reported earlier, this triggered immediate chaos at consulates across Spain, where thousands of migrants swarmed to submit paperwork:

Endless queues snaked through streets in cities like Almería, Bilbao, and Madrid. Migrants clambered over security gates. Immigration offices are now threatening strikes, overwhelmed by the sudden flood with only a handful of staff handling applications that were farmed out to post offices and NGOs.

Vox has hammered the policy as an “invasion” accelerated by Sánchez. The Granada rally turned into a flashpoint for that anger, with party figures accusing the government of promoting demographic replacement while the opposition People’s Party offered little resistance.

This is the direct result of Sánchez’s open-borders experiment, which prioritizes globalist virtue-signaling over Spanish citizens’ safety and cohesion. While the left screams about “fascism,” it is their own policies that are turning Spanish streets into battlegrounds between patriots demanding borders and radicals defending unlimited migration.

The amnesty is already facing a serious legal challenge that could freeze the entire process. The Spanish legal group Hazte Oír has taken the royal decree to the Supreme Court, which accepted the case and gave the government just 20 days to justify bypassing parliament:

Lawyers argue there was no “extraordinary and urgent need” for a decree instead of normal legislation, warning of irreversible damage to public services, housing, and social cohesion. A precautionary suspension is on the table — meaning the flood of new legal residents could be halted before it becomes impossible to reverse.

Abascal has been blunt about what comes next if the courts fail to act: “These are the lines to manage mass regularization in each municipality of Spain. Tomorrow this chaos will move to the health centers, to the social services, to the real estate agencies… It’s called thirdworldization. It’s already happening. Our priority is to reverse it, radically.”

Sánchez, meanwhile, calls the giveaway “an act of justice” and “a necessity,” claiming it simply recognizes migrants who “already form part of our everyday lives.” Critics point out Spain has run multiple amnesties since 1986 with over 1.75 million permits issued — yet illegal entries and integration failures continue unabated.

The left’s response to pushback is always the same: label patriots as extremists while their policies import the very tensions now exploding. Spain stands at a crossroads. Either the courts step in and the people demand sanity, or the socialist experiment will turn one of Europe’s great nations into a cautionary tale of what happens when globalism overrides national survival.

Tybee Island, Georgia, plans to welcome back the controversial “Orange Crush” music festival this weekend, as police brace for thousands of revelers to flood the beach town.”THE BIGGEST HBCU BEACH BASH IS BACK!

There were 54 arrests during Orange Crush in 2024 and 26 in 2023.POPULAR GEORGIA BEACH TOWN OVERRUN BY ‘ORANGE CRUSH’ FIGHTING, CHAOS, VIDEO SHOWSSEND US A TIP HEREThe Tybee Island Police Department said in a statement that for this year’s festival they are heightening enforcement amid an uptick of teen takeovers plaguing the region.”Rest assured that we have heard you and that public safety will always be our top priority,” Tybee Island Police Department Capt. Emory Randolph said in a statement to Fox News Digital when asked about residents’ concerns over the upcoming weekend’s festivities.POLICE FLOOD ORANGE CRUSH ISLAND HOT SPOT, WARN OF TEEN TAKEOVERS AS BEACH BASH MADNESS RETURNS”In recent months, stories of so-called ‘teen takeovers’ have popped up across the country,” Tybee Island police said in a Facebook post Tuesday. “This phenomenon hit home just over a week ago, when an unpermitted event on the beach was interrupted by the sound of gunfire. Now, as we approach the return of Crush Reloaded, members of our local and online communities have expressed concerns.”CLICK HERE FOR MORE US NEWSBeginning on Thursday, the police department said, residents and guests would see an “abundance of law enforcement officers from various state and local agencies converging on the island.”To maintain order, police are also launching a road safety checkpoint on Highway 80, carving out emergency lanes on main roads and shuttering the 14th and 16th Street parking lots.GET BREAKING NEWS BY EMAIL”TIPD is committed to using every available resource to help ensure the safety of our community,” Capt.

Last week, a mass of teens participating in a takeover on Tybee Island was interrupted in panic after police say gunfire broke out along the pier.According to the Tybee Island Police Department, authorities responded around 6:30 p.m. on April 4, when hundreds of people gathered near the Tybee Island Pier and Pavilion area, a popular spot in the laid-back beach community.WATCH: TYBEE ISLAND TEEN TAKEOVER ERUPTS IN PANIC AFTER POLICE SAY GUNFIRE BROKE OUT ALONG THE PIERDuring the course of the “unpermitted, pop-up event,” officers said they heard a single gunshot ring out, and the crowd began to scatter.Video shared by the department captured hoards of teens running away.In the early 1990s, Orange Crush had a reputation for being a wild, crime-filled weekend, and Savannah State University disassociated with the event in 1991 because of the high number of arrests and reports of violence.Three years ago, the event moved to Jacksonville, Florida, “due to lack of resources, limited parking, civil rights violations and political injustices,” according to a June 2021 story on Jacksonville.com, which cited the event’s website. The website has since been taken down.The event returned to Tybee Island in 2023 for the first time since 2020.

A long-standing debate about traveling with pets has been reignited as a Denver, Colorado-based cruise operator starts accepting dogs and cats onboard its ships.Fabled Voyages, a residential cruise startup, began accepting deposits on March 30, 2026, positioning its pet-friendly policy as a primary selling point for 15-year residencies.”With a desire to travel the world and include our dachshunds with us, the safest and easiest method was through a yacht [or] ship,” the company told Fox News Digital.CRUISE SHIP STRIKES REEF NEAR TOM HANKS’ ICONIC ‘CAST AWAY’ ISLAND, SPARKING RESCUE AT SEAThe founders noted that while private yachts offer freedom, they lack the scale and amenities of a large-scale residential ship.Most major cruise lines prohibit non-service animals due to practical challenges such as sanitation, limited space, allergies and strict port regulations, according to Travel Noire.Last year, however, Margaritaville at Sea offered a much-hyped dog-friendly cruise in November 2025. The 6-night Caribbean trip on the Islander ship was designed for 250 dogs and their owners, CruiseHive said.CRUISE LINES CANCEL SAILINGS, REROUTE SHIPS AS MIDDLE EAST CONFLICT DISRUPTS VOYAGESCunard’s Queen Mary 2 offers a limited kennel program, according to CruiseCritic — while niche operators like Cruise Tails run occasional dog-focused sailings.”Our Residential Cruise ship is not solely about the cruise experience, but more importantly, [it] minimizes the barriers to living a fulfilling life [and] traveling the world with those that matter,” Fabled Voyages said.To keep both pet parents and non-pet passengers happy, the ship will feature designated residential areas and pet-specific zones. The company will even have grooming and veterinary services onboard, it said. The cruise line will offer global itineraries that include South America, Southeast Asia, Northern Europe, the Mediterranean and the Caribbean.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERUnder its 2026 program, dogs up to 40 pounds and cats up to 20 pounds will be allowed in cabins, provided the animals pass veterinary clearance and meet international travel requirements.International regulations remain a major hurdle.

Residential cruises are one of the fastest-growing corners of the cruise market. Yet travelers are strongly divided about having pets onboard.In a Reddit discussion about cruises with pets — not specifically about Fabled Voyages — passengers were split.Companies “should have specific dog cruises. My dogs would love that,” one traveler said.”We have dogs onboard, pet state rooms … and no one cares. It is just normal,” another person agreed.TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZBut the concept was a hard “no” for many cruise lovers.”Absolutely not! Not on planes, buses, trains and not on ships. Not everybody is comfortable surrounded by animals,” a Reddit user said, referring to pets on cruises in general, not Fabled Voyages.”I don’t want to have to avoid dog poop on my vacation … or hear your dog bark in your stateroom,” said another person. “True service animals are fine … your labradoodle isn’t fine.”Another complained, “If people on ships are similar to those on land, there will be dog poop on the decks, and people will let their dogs bark in their staterooms while they go to the casino or something.”Yet another said, “Yeah, so you can bring it to the … buffet, and [we’ll] have dog hair in our food? … Can I bring my cat, horse, cow, sheep, goat, turtle, goldfish, parrot and iguana, too?”

David Duchovny is still conquering fears.The “X-Files” star told Fox News Digital recently that he never played an instrument until he was 50 and conquered his fear of singing in public when he started his band.”Music is the most surprising to me because I never really played an instrument until I was about 50 and I… certainly, nobody was clamoring for me to sing songs,” the 65-year-old said when asked what about his career would surprise his younger self.”My number one fear actually would have been singing in public,” the actor, who is set to read from his book of poems at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books, explained. “So, the fact that I am not even afraid of it anymore, but welcome it and look forward to it is — it’s shocking to me. Actually, every time I think about it, it’s like shocking that I did — I do that.”‘X-FILES’ STAR DAVID DUCHOVNY SELLS $10.9M MALIBU HOMEDuchovny remembered when he first started recording, and it was “maybe the first or second time I was gonna sing in public.””When I first started recording, I said to my guy, I said, ‘Well, you know, we can auto-tune me, it doesn’t matter, you know?’ And he’s like, ‘No, we cannot, you know, that doesn’t really work.’ And I said ‘Well, I’m not gonna play live.’ He said, ‘Well, you know, maybe you should.’”He said he found himself readying to play live without “having confidence that I was gonna be…not slippery on the notes.”While he was waiting to go on, he said he could hear his band turning up the amps, and he could hear the crowd.”And I just had this kind of revelation because the crowd seemed kind of hyped up,” he said, “that they came out to have a good time, you know, they didn’t come out to a bad time. And I wasn’t gonna like lead them into a bad time because I’m thinking I’m gonna have a bad time, so I was like, ‘Get out of their way.'”Duchovny called it a “very good lesson just in terms of all performance, which is like get my ego out of the way and just be a conduit for a good time.”The actor is also expressing himself through a new poetry book called “About Time: Poems,” explaining that he’s been writing poetry his whole life and only recently decided to put them together in a book from 20 to 25 years of writing.Duchovny will be reading his poems at the Los Angles Times Festival of Books on April 18 at the University of Southern California.The 31st annual Los Angeles Times Festival of Books returns to the University of Southern California (USC) campus on April 18–19, 2026. As the nation’s largest literary festival, it features over 550 authors, poets, and storytellers, hundreds of exhibitors, and free outdoor activities, including panels, cooking demos, and live music.ANTHONY HOPKINS REVEALS DIVINE VOICE THAT ENDED HIS LONG BATTLE WITH ALCOHOL”I live in L.A. And I’m a reader and I think it’s very important that we continue to try to prop up this dying art,” Duchovny said of why appearing at the festival is important to him. “There’s not a lot of quiet time or at least reflective time to read, especially books of poems, especially literary fiction. So any, any institution that backs that, I’ll back that institution, you know, so I’m happy to show up and happy to read to whoever shows up to listen.”WATCH HERE: DAVID DUCHOVNY CONQUERED HIS ‘NUMBER ONE FEAR’ WHEN HE STARTED A BAND”For me, the personal expression really is about, it’s really like a spiritual exercise,” he explained. “It’s almost like a religious exercise where I’m trying to get at truths that are beyond words. Basically, that’s what poems are, you’re trying to use words to say what can’t be worded. And that’s usually matters of the spirit of the heart.”His poems aren’t “confessional” or “literal,” he explained. “There’s no plot for me anyway. It’s really just a conversation between me and, you know, the bigger picture.”WATCH HERE: DAVID DUCHOVNY DESCRIBES WHAT HIS POETRY MEANS TO HIMHe said he wouldn’t call his book a “conversation with God, but it’s similar to that. It’s like, it’s really trying to see beneath whatever’s happening today, to really, you know, along lines of reading and taking time to read, really just taking a moment — more than a moment — taking time to like sit down in the present and reflect deeply and quietly and slowly enough that I can come up with something that’s worthwhile.”CHRIS PRATT ON FINDING GOD DURING SON’S LIFE-THREATENING CRISIS AND HOW IT TRANSFORMED HIS SPIRITUAL LIFEDescribing his poems, he said, “Some of them are obviously about my kids or about relationships, but they’re not specifically, I mean maybe they’re poems that are about the loss of love or whatever, but I’ll be damned if I’ll say who or what or where, you know?”CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER”So they’re not like tied to any kind of specific thing,” he continued. “And I actually kind of, I’m prickly about that just because I don’t think that that’s what makes the poem meaningful, you know. The poem is not a puzzle to be solved.”Duchovny said he thinks of acting more like sports. When the “buzzer sounds, and you’ve got to play and you gotta, you gotta bring it.”LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS”Poetry is like the opposite of that,” he said. “You know, there’s no buzzer at all, and you just have to, you know, you really just are sitting there. I mean, I keep coming back to the same formulation, which is trying to put into words what can’t be put into the words.”He added, “And I think that is another name for whatever you want to call God or your relationship to the spirit or to something that’s beyond what’s in front of us. And, I don’t personify it, but I do know that as I raise my consciousness, these things come out and these things are discussions.”He likened it to “flicking your Bic lighter in the darkness. You know, [poems are] just like momentary, like, ‘Oh, I see something momentarily.’ That’s what the poems are.”

Russia is reportedly developing a nuclear weapon designed to be deployed in space that could cripple global communications and cause widespread disruption.
General Stephen Whiting, head of U.S. Space Command, has admitted that Washington is “very concerned” about plans to place a nuclear anti-satellite weapon into orbit.
“They are thinking about placing in orbit a nuclear anti-satellite weapon that would hold at risk everyone’s satellites in low Earth orbit, and that would be an outcome that we just couldn’t tolerate,” Whiting said.

The weapon could be used to destroy large numbers of satellites in low Earth orbit, potentially taking out communications systems, GPS networks and parts of the global internet.
A detonation in orbit could damage or destroy up to 10,000 satellites, roughly 80 percent of those currently in space.

Officials have described the potential attack as a “space Pearl Harbor.”
Whiting said the threat forms part of a broader pattern of Russian activity in space, including widespread GPS and satellite communication jamming.
“The problem with GPS jamming is it’s being done in a way that’s affecting civil aviation in eastern Europe and across southern Europe,” he said.
“When we put at risk civilian airliners full of citizens just trying to go on business or holiday, that’s incredibly problematic.”
The general said Russia is seeking ways to counter what it sees as Western military advantages by targeting space-based systems.
“They look at the United States, they look at NATO and they see an overmatch there of conventional arms,” Whiting said.
“And they believe that novel ways of trying to undermine the United States and Nato, such as by neutralising our space capabilities, helps them to level the battlefield.”
The proposed weapon would violate the Outer Space Treaty, which prohibits placing nuclear weapons in orbit.
U.S. officials have been aware of the threat for at least two years, with intelligence first briefed to Congress in 2024.
Whiting warned that space is increasingly becoming a central domain for future conflict.
“The next big war will likely be a war that starts in space,” he said.
He also urged allies to increase defence spending in the sector, noting that Britain currently spends less than one percent of its defence budget on space capabilities.
