Like so many other European countries, also Spain has a huge illegal immigration problem, with over half a million such people who have illegally entered the country.
How to fix that problem? Well, the Prime Minister of Spain, Pedro Sánchez, has had a perfect idea, the perfect solution: Just grant all of them legal residency permits in one fell swoop. That's the perfect way to get rid of all illegal immigrants!
The funny thing about that? He is passing the law allowing that... bypassing the Spanish congress completely, in other words, not even putting it up to vote by the congress. In other words, bypassing the democratic process completely. (I have no idea how or why the Spanish legislative system allows this kind of thing, but apparently it does, and the Prime Minister is going to take advantage of it.)
In other words, he, personally, is going to pass a landmark law without asking anybody, without putting it up to vote by the congress, without asking the people of Spain, bypassing the democratic process completely.
Of course this is nothing new, as European country after European country is doing this kind of thing all the time. Take the UK, for example, where the government, without asking anybody or putting it up to vote, has just decided to spend literally millions of pounds every single day to host people who have entered the country illegally. Oftentimes they are astonishingly obnoxious about it, transporting hundreds of illegal immigrants to small towns literally in the middle of the night, without even telling the residents, without asking their opinion.
Indeed, it has happened dozens and dozens of times, in dozens and dozens of small towns around the UK (some of them so small that they had less than 500 inhabitants before): Suddenly, overnight, the town residents find a surprise in the morning: Suddenly their streets are flooded with illegal immigrants harassing them, accosting them, committing all kinds of crimes. Suddenly there are illegal immigrants loitering around the couple of preschools in town, leering at the children and taking photos of them. Suddenly young women, who previously could walk the streets alone even in the middle of the night without any worry in the world, find themselves accosted and harassed by illegal immigrants even in the middle of the day. If the town had a decently high profile hotel that was popular with tourists, giving nice income to the town, they suddenly find those hotels flooded with illegal immigrants, with all tourists kicked out and denied access.
And most of the time the government either did not warn the residents about this at all, and especially without asking for their permission. And the decision was most often made, in all secrecy of course, by officials on the other side of the country that the residents never voted for, nor even voted for their political party.
And these are just a couple of examples in a couple of countries. It's happening all the time in a lot of European countries: The leftist government completely bypassing the democratic process.
And then they try to deflect by claiming that it's the "far right" that's "a threat to democracy".
