Spain’s Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and Spain’s Supreme Court ignited a migrant invasion of Spanish territory from Morocco.
The migrant invasion from North Africa may cause some Spaniards to remember one of the country’s greatest heroes: Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar, known as El Cid.
But it is a legend that may resonate with contemporary Spaniards who just witnessed a North African migrant invasion of Spanish territory.
The New York Times headlines that Europe’s “Far Right” political leaders are setting the tone on Spain’s migrant crisis.
And I wouldn’t be surprised to see some of Spain’s populist conservatives invoke the name of El Cid.
