It's a coordinated hybrid warfare attack. Terrible title. Or are the "migrants" Belarus has been shipping to Poland also a "surge"?

People need convenient excuses to build their inaccurate, personal “reality” and headlines are a perfect medium for that.

Yes, a concerted campaign on TikTok and Instagram (hint hint) targeted these people with lies about the consequences of a supreme court ruling on immigration. This happened soon after Spain proposed an EU measure to break association with Israel.

Why the quotemarks around "migrants"? You think these people aren’t actually migrating from one country to another?

It’s a perpetual cycle feeding of each other.

It was indeed an attack.

The trains and other public transports to bring these people there were free that day for that specific destination.

So immigrants flooded the border, and then noticed they never actually left Africa? What kind of dumb is this?

They were aware, but there were rulings in spain before making it harder to push them back, so with missinformation they assumed once they made it in, they can stay. And then legally travel to europe.
