Immigration and Revolt: Torre Pacheco as a Mirror of a Disappearing Europe

"It is not racism that creates the defense of identity, it is the erasure of identity that generates resistance."

The Domingo case: a symbol of the European fracture

Torre Pacheco, Murcia. An elderly man, Domingo, is brutally attacked in broad daylight by a young North African, while two others watch without intervening to stop him. The attack is not related to theft, revenge, or a family escalation. It is gratuitous violence, "for fun." But the ensuing public outrage is quickly labeled "racist hatred," while the media downplays the gravity of the incident and reverses the narrative: the victim becomes guilty, and the perpetrators become bearers of "migrant vulnerability."

This distortion, unfortunately, is not new. It reflects a well-oiled mechanism in many European societies: when faced with episodes of immigration-related violence, the media and political apparatus unleash a strategy of victim blaming and right-wing blaming. In other words, citizens' reactions are blamed and any attempts to report them are censored. Even some artificial intelligences like Grok are programmed to downplay the issue (try it and believe it!).

Censorship as a tool of cultural repression

In short, in Spain, as elsewhere, the institutional response is not the protection of citizens but the repression of dissent. Arrests, seizures, the shutdown of Telegram channels, and digital task forces to monitor the "far right" (now synonymous with any voice critical of mass immigration). Interior Minister Marlaska even went so far as to declare that the real arsonists are the "leaders of the right," not those who actually set social coexistence ablaze with daily acts of violence.

It's no longer just politics: it's an ideological strategy. The ideology of unconditional inclusivity—which refuses to acknowledge the social consequences of mass immigration—produces a climate of widespread intimidation. The narrative is clear: those who speak out become the culprits, those who suffer become invisible.

Torre Pacheco: A Laboratory for Demographic Replacement

This development occurs within an already compromised demographic context. In twenty years, Torre Pacheco's population has grown from 15,000 to over 40,000, with a significant immigrant presence (over a third of the population). The town's social composition has changed radically. This isn't "integration," but substitution: a forced anthropological transformation, fostered by indiscriminate immigration policies that ignore cultural compatibility, infrastructural limitations, and social cohesion.

The European Union, rather than questioning the systemic impact of this immigration, prefers to strengthen its repressive tools, demonizing any dissenting voice as "fascist" or "xenophobic." This reflects a post-identitarian technocracy that has lost its sense of limits and the common good.

Immigration and culture: an unresolved conflict

Those who continue to repeat the slogan "immigration is a resource" ignore that any migratory flow, if uncontrolled and ideologically promoted, becomes a factor of disintegration. European culture, founded on centuries of Christian civilization, on shared moral codes, on a profound sense of rights and the individual, is being eroded under the pressure of foreign and often incompatible models.

What's happening isn't a "cultural exchange," but a cultural disarmament: those who welcome are forced to remain silent, those who arrive demand recognition but often offer no reciprocity. Europe has stopped demanding integration and has moved on to demanding the surrender of its values.

The fate of a civilization that denies itself

Incidents like Torre Pacheco are warning signs. These are not isolated cases, but symptoms of a systemic disease: Europe's abandonment of itself. A civilization that apologizes for its own identity, that represses its own population to please international logic and ideologically driven NGOs, is a civilization that is committing suicide.

Behind the slogans of “inclusive democracy” lies a technocratic project of social engineering that aims to disintegrate historical communities and replace them with amorphous, easily manipulated, rootless masses.

Resistance is not hate, it's responsibility

The reaction of the residents of Torre Pacheco—though emotional and confused—is the last glimmer of a still-living common sense. People cannot be asked to passively accept violence, fear, and cultural marginalization. And we cannot pretend that what is happening doesn't have dramatic long-term consequences.

Indiscriminate immigration is not a solution: it is a process of dissolution. If not curbed and regulated, it will lead to the erasure of European cultures, the end of true solidarity, and the emergence of conflictual and unstable societies. Those who defend their land, their parents, their language are not extremists. They are men who remind us all that there is no freedom without identity.
