Pedro Sánchez, God willing, will lose his reelection bid and take his socialist party down with him.
Unfortunately, that can't happen soon enough: the legal deadline for holding those elections isn't for another year, and it's unlikely he'll call snap elections so he can get his butt tossed out earlier.
In the meantime, Sánchez has been doing his best to import the Third World into his country, and hence into Europe proper. That meant legalizing over a million illegal aliens earlier this year and pushing for enhanced rights of illegal aliens to make asylum claims that take years to adjudicate.
Unsurprisingly, waves of migrants are flocking to Spain, including the now-famous invasion of Ceuta.

Kirill Dmitriev made the comment over footage of Ceuta buried in trash, weeks after tens of thousands of migrants surged into the Spanish enclave.
"Legacy media tries to hide…
Fellow E.U. countries exploded in rage as they watched Ceuta get overrun, and even migrant-friendly Ursula von der Leyen was forced to pressure Spain into doing something about it, including ensuring that none of the migrants who made it into Ceuta made it to the European mainland.
Sánchez, so far, has complied, mainly because he had little choice. His country was being cut off from visa-free access to European countries, which upends his economy. And since the invasion, he and von der Leyen have been doing everything they can to make it seem like the crisis is over.
It's not. Not by a long shot.

While it is technically true that most of the invaders recrossed the border into Morocco, those people never intended to stay. They were on a lark, rushing into Ceuta to have a bit of fun and do a bit of looting, and they were providing mass to help bring down the border.
But many thousands always intended to stay, and so they have, turning Ceuta into a third-world hellhole, filled with crime, rape, and trash. Rapes are a daily occurrence in a city that once had five a year; now, sometimes, five a day are reported, and God knows how many are not.

Every hospital is completely overrun with migrants. Rooms are full. Medicine is running out. They even opened a dedicated hospital for migrants, and that one is full too.
Doctors are afraid to treat them.
They’re scared… pic.twitter.com/rcU2qaxViu

The Spanish government has abandoned its own citizens.
I added English subtitles.
Spanish citizens have been abandoned by their government. The European Union has put enormous pressure on Morocco to prevent subsequent invasions—thousands of troops were required to prevent yet another mass attack on the border this weekend—Ceuta is being systematically destroyed.
Así esta Ceuta despues de 18 dias de INVASIÓN, totalmente colapsada y miles de inmigrantes en las calles, peleandose, violando y okupando

This being Europe, much of the news is being suppressed and/or massaged, and the social media companies seem to be complying with the E.U. pressure to spin things into something less dire than the reality on the ground. Facebook and Instagram are even sending people off to learn about how you, too, can make your way from the Third World into the First World.
Meta has a new message warning you to “be careful”when you search for mass migration related news like Ceuta on Instagram, which includes a “get migration info” button that offers “help with moving to a new country.” That then takes potential migrants to a UN website with links… pic.twitter.com/xypgixFpVX

Haven’t seen this before.
It's difficult to see how Sánchez can deal with this situation WITHOUT somehow evacuating the migrants from Ceuta. Legally, due to an absurd set of court decisions, he can't just kick the migrants out of Spanish territory. They have a right to have their asylum claims adjudicated, and he's not exactly Trump, who has spun up the court system and put it into overdrive; so far, his solution has been to go on vacation scuba diving while Ceuta devolves into a hellscape.
Will that continue? Is this his version of compassion?

Yet, if these migrants make it to the Spanish mainland, they are in the Schengen Zone, which gives them free access to the rest of Europe and their pick of migration-friendly countries in which to settle. And the tolerance for that outcome is, shall we say, low.
The "solution" Sánchez has chosen is to essentially turn Ceuta into a Spanish version of CHAZ/CHOP, where the inmates run the asylum, and ordinary Spanish citizens just have to live with it.
Socialism in action.
