The videos below provide two small snapshots of the cultural enrichment of Spain.
The first is a clip that was put together by the populist anti-immigration party Vox. It compares and contrasts the treatment of Muslims and Christians under the Wuhan Coronavirus restrictions. The former were allowed the pray on the street without enforcement of social distancing. Meanwhile, a mass being celebrated in Granada Cathedral was raided by the police.

In the second video, Spanish Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska talks about his determination to deport 600 illegal Tunisian immigrants who managed to get into Melilla, a Spanish enclave in North Africa.

Video transcript #2:
| 00:08 | A little more than 600 Tunisian citizens are located there, | |
| 00:13 | with their expulsion proceeding already concluded and put into effect. | |
| 00:19 | We are working and coordinating with the Tunisian embassy in Madrid, | |
| 00:24 | also with the Tunisian government, with the aim of proceeding in the shortest time possible | |
| 00:29 | with the repatriation of these citizens. | |
| 00:33 | As Interior Minister [Fernando Grande-] Marlaska said, work is already underway on the return | |
| 00:38 | of hundreds of Tunisians who for months have lived in Melilla. | |
| 00:42 | Since this morning many of them have demonstrated in the city center asking | |
| 00:46 | to move from the city to the peninsula. They insist they are frustrated | |
| 00:50 | and have reached their limit, which is why they declare that they have started a hunger strike | |
| 00:54 | until a solution is found for them. At this time they continue to sit | |
| 00:58 | in one of the principal streets in the city center as a sign of protest. |
Let them starve themselves. It’s easier to remove them anyway once they have been weakened by hunger.
The west is so sick. Filling up with Muslim raiders. Surely there will be no shock and horror when mayhem hits everywhere all at once.
In international relations there is the concept of Most Favored Nation. Maybe we need a concept of Most Favored Religion so that Christianity and Judaism get the same rights as other theologies.
