Until recently, the visible consequences of Pedro Sánchez’ reckless and criminal mass regularisation had been mostly limited to enormous queues and gridlock in all public immigration offices. In these queues, repeated in every city, numerous riots and fights have broken out, while officials complain that they lack the resources to process paperwork properly, and an extensive network of NGOs has become government collaborators in issuing ‘vulnerability certificates.’ But now, in addition, a wave of stabbings has swept across different parts of Spain over 48 hours, leaving a provisional toll of three homicides and several wounded.
This past Saturday, around 11:00 a.m., a Moroccan man repeatedly stabbed and slit the throat of a girl about 16 years old after attacking several neighbours with knives and stones. The assailant shouted “Allahu Akbar” and walked freely for more than half an hour until he was arrested by the Mossos d’Esquadra on Diagonal Avenue in Barcelona. Neighbours reported that the assailant had been in the neighbourhood for several days exhibiting nervous and aggressive behaviour.
Initially, the mainstream press claimed it was a case of gender-based violence against a woman. As soon as it was established that the assailant was North African, the victim a girl, and that he invoked the name of Allah, the police sealed the assailant’s identity, and the story ceased to be of interest to media outlets aligned with the government. Public television dedicated barely a couple of minutes to the crime, and at no point was it treated as a jihadist attack.
The girl, who was taking a peaceful walk in broad daylight, bled to death in the arms of a neighbour who tried to help her while waiting for the ambulance. It is also scandalous that, despite the knife-wielding assailant having killed one person and injured several others, the Catalan police pursued him for several minutes without shooting him, risking further attacks and further victims.
That same Saturday evening, an unaccompanied foreign minor (MENA) stabbed a man to death in the centre of Barcelona. Furthermore, numerous residents are reporting a new increase in robberies and assaults in recent days in the Raval neighbourhood of Barcelona—a lawless neighbourhood teeming with immigrants, where attempted robberies, assaults, and sexual assaults against women by Africans are well-known to the police. On Sunday afternoon, again in broad daylight, a man stabbed another man outside a bar in downtown Barcelona. Police have refused to release the nationalities of the two men involved, which is standard practice when immigrants are involved.
In addition, a fourth stabbing occurred in Catalonia that same weekend: on Friday afternoon, a group of young people engaged in a knife fight at the April Fair in Tarragona. According to local reports, the incident began after the victim, a man of North African origin, allegedly tried to rob them at the festival. And at dawn on Monday, a shooting occurred in the street in the Barcelona metropolitan area, outside an illegal after-hours pub. Although no injuries have been reported, several of those involved in the shooting are Dominican.
All of this happened while Spaniards were still reeling from the events of April 27, when a 25-year-old Moroccan man carried out three attempted robberies in Almería in a matter of minutes, attacking his victims with a large knife. Among them was a 17-year-old girl who tried to flee but was knocked down, dragged by her hair, repeatedly kicked, and stabbed in the thigh. During his escape, the assailant had time to kick another woman who was waiting on her motorcycle at a red light. In Almería, the Unified Police Union has denounced several pro-immigrant organisations that collaborate with the government on the regularization process for issuing ‘vulnerability certificates’ without any verification, in exchange for fees ranging between 80 and 100 euros.
On April 23, Spain’s new multicultural normal brought another scene of terror to Palma de Mallorca, where a fight following a robbery left several injured and arrested, all of Romanian, Bolivian, and Moroccan origin. That same day, also in Palma, two illegal immigrants of Algerian origin were arrested for the violent robbery of two delivery women; both had arrived in Spain illegally by boat less than a year earlier. Completing the grim chronicle of mid-April was the news of the arrest in Barcelona of an immigrant for raping and attempting to murder a woman he had deceived through a dating app, as well as a large brawl in a Valencia neighbourhood in which six young immigrants were arrested, two of them undocumented. All of them had extensive criminal records.
And moments before finishing this report, in Valencia, on Monday afternoon, a Colombian immigrant stabbed a man to death in a barbershop.
Meanwhile, as revealed by Ok Diario, Sánchez’s PSOE is encouraging undocumented immigrants to request receipts for their supermarket purchases made before 2026, thus instructing them how to use this to prove their presence in Spain before January 1 of this year and qualify for regularisation. This tactic, according to a video obtained by the Spanish newspaper, was explained by a Socialist MP last Tuesday during an informational session on regularization in Madrid.
Although it is not possible to corroborate this with data at this time, the start of the regularisation process is resulting in an unprecedented, subjective increase in the number of immigrants on the streets in every city. There are countless testimonies on social media explaining that their neighbourhoods have suddenly filled with Moroccans and other Africans, leading them to suspect that the regularization process has created an almost immediate pull factor and that not only those already in Spain will take advantage of it, but also others who have managed to enter in recent weeks to find some loophole to falsely prove their presence in the country before January 1.
Finally, this Monday, the situation surrounding the regularization plan that has outraged Spaniards was illustrated in several TikTok videos, in which young Latinas dance sensually, laugh, and shout with joy while holding their vulnerability certificates. Twitter users have identified the Instagram account of one of them, revealing a lifestyle of luxury that has not prevented the Spanish government from granting her the certificate of ‘vulnerable person,’ which now allows her to join the more than 3.5 million citizens who receive the Minimum Vital Income—between 700 and 1,600 euros a month, paid by Spanish taxpayers.
The only party openly opposing Pedro Sánchez’s disastrous immigration policies is VOX, which has also included the so-called national priority in its regional agreements with the PP. This principle is intended to ensure that Spaniards have priority over foreigners when it comes to access to social assistance and housing. While the PP accepted this agreement where it needed VOX’s support to govern, in the context of the Andalusian election campaign, the PP candidate distanced himself from the national priority this week and instead promised “integration and social advancement” programmes for immigrants.
