What it claims

Events at the EU's external borders are portrayed as planned hybrid aggression, proving the total failure of European institutions to protect their citizens. Manipulators exploit incidents in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta to depict migration as an externally steered “invasion” aimed at destroying the stability of Germany and Europe.

Target audience

Examples (paraphrased)

We paraphrase rather than quote: propaganda's exact wording is built to spread, so we carry the claim and not the craft. Each example cites the post it came from.

  • The mass influx of migrants to Ceuta is not a humanitarian crisis but a planned operation of political pressure by Morocco, where people are used instead of an army.

  • The EU's new migration system has completely failed in its very first weeks, as Brussels is unable to ensure unity and border protection in the face of a crisis.

Goal

To undermine trust in collective European migration solutions and fuel demands for closing internal Schengen borders.

Techniques used

The real grievance it exploits

German society is experiencing significant strain on municipal infrastructure and social systems due to migration, alongside heightened concerns regarding border security.

How to counter

  • Technique exposure: Notice how local border incidents are inflated into the “death of Europe” to provoke panic and justify dismantling the Schengen Area, which is the backbone of the German economy.
