This is how a continent commits suicide. The EU has to be dismantled, or at very least these kinds of laws scrubbed from the books, if Europe is going to have any hope of survival.
“EU Laws Prevented Spain Deporting Barcelona Terror Mastermind”, by Tom Worden, Express, August 27, 2017:
The Spanish government tried to throw Abdelbaki Es Satty, 42, out of the country in 2014 after he served a sentence for drug smuggling.
Story continues below advertisementBut a judge said two EU directives gave Es Satty the right to stay in the country – because he did not pose a “serious threat”.
After the failed attempt to deport him, Es Satty went on to brainwash members of the cell who carried out two terror attacks in Barcelona and nearby Cambrils earlier this month.
Today a 51-year-old German woman who had been in a critical condition in intensive care since being mowed down on Las Ramblas died in hospital. Her death brought the number murdered by the cell to 16. More than 100 more were injured when a van ploughed into pedestrians on the famous boulevard on August 17.
A written judgment reveals judge Pablo de la Rubia blocked Es Satty’s deportation because of EU laws.
The judge highlighted two EU Council Directives – numbers 2003/109/EC and 2001/40/EC – which prevented the Madrid government from booting him out.
The EU directives say member states can only deport non-EU nationals who pose a “serious and present threat to public order or national security and safety”.
The judge ruled Es Satty was not a threat – because he had only been convicted of one offence and because he was making attempts to “integrate” into Spanish society.
Es Satty was arrested in January 2010 on a ferry to Spain from north Africa, with 121 kilos of cannabis resin worth POUNDS 162,000 packed into a van.
He was jailed for four years and a month and served two thirds of his sentence in a prison in Castellon, north east Spain. It is believed he became radicalised while behind bars.
When he was released in 2014 the Spanish government issued a deportation order, expelling him from the country for five years.
Spanish law permits the government to deport foreign criminals who have been jailed for a year or more once they have served their sentence.
Senior government official David Barelles wrote on the order that Es Satty posed “a real threat which is sufficiently serious to justify his expulsion”.
But Es Satty appealed – insisting he had a right to stay in Spain despite his conviction.
His won his case at the Contentious-Administrative Court Number 2 in Castellon in April 2015.
Citing the two EU directives, judge De la Rubia wrote: “Although the conduct of the accused is serious, there is only one offence, which is old, and it is claimed he has laid down employment roots in Spain, which demonstrate his efforts at integration into Spanish society.”
The judge added that it would be “disproportionate” to deport the Moroccan.
After leaving prison, Es Satty became the Iman of the mosque in Ripoll, a small town in the foothills of the Pyrenees, 65 miles north of Barcelona.
He radicalised local youths, mostly Moroccan immigrants aged 17 to 34, and is thought to have been the leader of the 12-man cell who brought mayhem to the region last month.
The gang plotted a terrorist ‘spectacular’ using vans packed with bombs made from butane-gas bottles and the explosive TATP – nicknamed the Mother of Satan.
They planned to blow up targets including the famous Sagrada Familia basilica…..

The e.u is a house of fools that is unelected, anointed by bigger food and obeys by millions of even greater fools yet. The destruction of western europe is a socialist attempt to destroy nationhood and individuality, using islam as the tool. The fools of the e.u do not realize that they and socialism are islam’s tool for the conquest and destruction of the western europe after it plunders whatever wealth is there. No real loss, after the inbred western european cultures disappear, the replacement can’t be any stupider.

The best of “art” is noting compared of a single case of child abuse, or any one of the multitude abuses the islam inflicts on its victims. muslims destroy all forms of art in conquered cultures, there is no use in trying to protect that which will be destroyed, as western europe has capitulated and submitted to islam, forget about it and its failed culture, that is what lead to this.

This time, after WWI and WWII, I don’t believe that Americans will want to lay down their lives for Western Europe! We may give aid to the Polish and the Hungarians, but NOT to Western Europe!

Muslims, inbred for at least 1600 years, to keep the MON$Y in their families, CAN and WILL be more stupid that those inhabitants of the EU! They ARE Muslims aren’t they? A few countries like Poland, Hungry, and a few Baltic countries will survive….shame that they will to accept the help of Russia to defeat the Muslims, since today they don’t have the forces they had in 1683 at the Battle of Vienna (Polish King John III Sobieski and the German Princedoms) to defeat the Muslim Hordes!

Sure don’t want them trying to make the laws for OUR nation. That is what the idiot ANTIFA, BlackLivesMatter, etc seem to want. Spain needs to do what GB is/was trying to do. I may be old, but hate the idea of the country that has been so good to me and my family approaching open borders and laws made by EU.

Now you understand the rationale and impetus behind the Brexit referendum. Citizens in the UK wanted their immigration policies decided in London instead of Brussels. Others are sure to follow, if they can rake up the guts.

The UK is basically doing the same thing. What good was Brexit?

In fact it was the appeal court judge who condemned all these people to death and caused the injuries to 100 or more people. He also caused the death of those who went to jihad heaven becUse of radicalisation. When are judges and politicians going to be held responsible for the dreadful decisions they make about the likelihood of future offending by convicted criminals?
As for the EU……..after all the experience with open borders and the regulations cited in this article……they still have no intention of changing their dangerous way of doing things. It is not idealism, it is crass stupidity and condemning Europe to slow suicide.

Did any Muslim grease that judge’s palm?

A sane society would hang men like him. Instead, they let mad dogs ruin Europe. As I’ve written before, Islam is snake venom, eating the victim from within.
