It's another example of the madness of the EU open border policy
Always classy when people use terrorist atrocities to push completely unrelated agendas. What the f**k does this have to do with the EU, when the arrested suspects are Spanish and Moroccan? What the f**k does it have to do with Antifa?Looks like this was part of a targeted larger bomb attack. There was an explosion in Alcanar after one of them cocked up their bomb, so they had to turn to the van. Looks like without the quick action of the emergency services this could have been even worse. Awful stuff.
Two Spanish Enclaves are part of Morocco, Ceuta, and Melilla

So, what's the relevance?

So, what's the relevance?Are you sure about that?The illegal immigration problem only became serious in the 1990s with the loosening of borders within the EU. Since Ceuta and Melilla are officially part of Spain—they even have representatives in the Spanish Parliament—their borders in Africa are effectively the borders of Europe. African immigrants who don't want to risk crossing the strait in fishing boats can try to sneak into the enclaves instead. (Spain has had a great deal of trouble deporting non-Moroccans who make it into the enclaves.http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/explainer/2005/09/whats_with_those_spanish_enclaves_in_north_africa.html

Absolutely nothing to do with any EU so-called 'open border' policy.

Absolutely nothing to do with any EU so-called 'open border' policy. Once into the two enclaves they are in the EU, despite your know all assertion that they are not, from there they are free to travel the entire EU without border controls, Barcelona could have happened anywhere within the EU once they are in, unchecked
Ok Cueta and Melilla are in the EU then?
Quote from: Filo on August 19, 2017, 01:51:53 pmOk Cueta and Melilla are in the EU then?They are treated as 'special territories' and whilst they enjoy some benefits of EU membership they are not treated as full members. Hence the border put of them not being an open one.Now then, what were you saying about the EU 'open borders' again?PS You've still not answered my original question about where the perpetrators of Barcelona have actually come from...

Spanish Police are now saying the suspects on the run may have crossed the French border.But to some this is not an issue
