Sánchez’s mass amnesty: Pressure on Spain’s borders surges dramatically

Since the start of 2026, Ceuta has become Spain’s largest gateway for illegal migration. Young men climb over or swim around the border fence to reach Spanish territory. The enclave is overwhelmed, and migrants are quickly moved to mainland Spain. Once there, they post glamorous videos on social media that encourage and inspire others to make the same journey.

Mosque leader who claimed 1 in 3 Norwegians share Breivik’s views to speak at Father of the Constitution’s grave

Zamran Ahmad Butt from the Islamic Cultural Centre mosque will speak at Christian Magnus Falsen’s grave in Oslo on May 17. Falsen is regarded as the Father of the Norwegian Constitution. Butt has claimed that “every third Norwegian shares Breivik’s Islamophobic mindset.” He was also the main speaker at a recent anti-Islamophobia event organised in cooperation with Islamic Relief — an organisation that is banned in several countries.

Gulliver against the Lilliputians

The left and the media have fantasised about Trump’s death ever since he took office. Four assassination attempts have not made them reconsider. They do not count the dead on the right. Who remembers James T. Hodgkinson, who in June 2017 fired 60 rounds at Republican representatives on a baseball field in Virginia? Steve Scalise was seriously wounded. He was also present at the Hilton Hotel on Saturday evening.

Social media: The Government has no idea what it is embarking upon

The Støre Government seeks to be top of the EU class and proposes a 16-year age limit on social media. It is out of sync with the times. Støre will present it as “security”, but risks turning youth against him. A 12-year limit would be different; by 13, teenagers are asserting themselves and will not accept waiting until 16.

Why is it being concealed that two gay men are charged with killing 13-month-old Preston?

They could tell you about the killing, the injuries, and the grave abuses. But VG would not tell you who stands charged with having killed a 13-month-old baby whom they had adopted.

When the Labour Party is confronted with the Epstein case and reality

State Secretary in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Andreas Motzfeldt Kravik (Labour Party), presents a glossy picture of Norwegian foreign policy in Aftenposten. There is no reason for that. The “peace diplomacy” was intended to strengthen Norway’s reputation, but achieved the opposite. If I were in his shoes, I would engage in self-examination and tread more quietly until the Epstein investigation has been completed.

Doctors Without Borders tried to get into the will of a man with a stroke

Targeted advertising on Facebook aimed at elderly people brought Doctors Without Borders into contact with a man weakened by dementia and a stroke. They wanted to be included in his will. Relatives stopped the process, but Doctors Without Borders contacted him again anyway. Now they call it a “human error” and apologise.

Radical Islam Net imam hired by Norway’s former conservative seminary – Embraced by academia

Since Document revealed on 7 March that an imam from the radical Islamist group Islam Net was hired as a researcher at Norway’s former conservative seminary, media coverage has exploded. One would have expected strong criticism of this historic theological school — conservative for over a century — employing an imam from one of Norway’s most extreme Islamic environments. Instead, the opposite happened.

Man is a frail, partially blind creature under a restless sky

Odd Nerdrum’s paintings show man embedded in an order he has not created. Instead of staging the sovereignty of the liberal individual, he reveals that humans confront something older and more inscrutable than themselves: earth, sky, time, guilt, fate, and tragedy. Nerdrum paints what our age prefers to explain away. Truth appears as sudden revelations — pictorial shocks that cannot be explained, only endured.

The Age of Predators

The Italian political scientist Giuliano Da Empoli teaches political propaganda at Sciences Po in Paris. He purports to solve the riddle of our time: our societies are being taken over by technology giants who seek to eliminate the old elite that stood for order and regularity. Empoli holds Trump in contempt, comparing him to the Borgias of the Renaissance: ruthless men of action. Contempt for Americans is soon the only thing well-educated Europeans have left—a meagre consolation on the way down.
