'I hope you like it and that it keeps you company during these holidays,' Pedro Sanchez said
Spain’s socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has shared a video on Instagram revealing the “soundtrack of my summer” while his country reels from a migrant “invasion”.
His music recommendations were shared as the Spanish army was being deployed to repel an incursion of some 60,000 African migrants into the exclave of Ceuta.
At least 77 people are known to have died so far in the chaos as thousands of migrants, the majority of whom were young men, swam and scrambled over border protections and charged through the streets.
Ceuta, a historic Spanish city on the African continent, is separated from Morocco by a fence extending into the Mediterranean, which the streams of migrants easily circumvented.
Videos of thousands of individuals celebrating and mobbing streets as they overwhelmed the small Spanish community sparked panic and fury across the European continent.
At the same time, Mr Sanchez announced: “This summer, I’ve put together a playlist with some of the songs I’ve been listening to most this year.
“It’s pretty eclectic, so I’ll highlight three that are sure to give you an idea of where I’m at,” he said.
“I hope you like it and that it keeps you company during these holidays. Happy summer!”
Among his favourite tunes was SS26 by British artist Charli xcx.
Despite limiting who could comment on the post, a debate raged beneath the video.
“This is AI, right? Because if not, I'm freaking out,” another fumed.
A third fumed: “Dude, we're not here for playlists and all that c***.”
However, some were more supportive, with one comment reading: “It's great to have a president who communicates with his people and wishes them a happy summer.
“Spain, take care of your president; he's a very good person,” another said.
At the same time, heavily armed Spanish troops were on the streets of Ceuta to remove tens of thousands of migrants from the city.
Addressing the crisis earlier, Mr Sanchez condemned the incident as “a violation of Spain's territorial integrity”.
Speaking from the city, he said: “What has emerged from our talks with Moroccan authorities is that trafficking mafias took a self-serving interpretation of a Supreme Court ruling.”
Footage of the carnage sparked outrage across Europe, with Italy suspending Spain's access to the EU's open borders Schengen Zone.
