400 repeat offenders expelled: the figure that doesn't add up with reality
Catalonia's police force, the Mossos d'Esquadra, have expelled more than 400 repeat-offender incivil so far in 2025. The figure sounds forceful, but on Burbuja.info skepticism has soared: "411 expulsions, wowww — how many entered in that same 2025?" mocks user PP$O€. The thread, titled with the classic clickbait hook "you won't believe their nationality", has generated 61 replies in 23 days, and the debate goes far beyond the official figures.
The debate: real expulsion or worthless paper?
The crux of the matter is not whether 400 people were expelled, but what "expelling" actually means. User Gonzalor sums it up with his usual acidity: "They've been expelled = they've been handed a piece of paper saying 'you have to leave', which they've obviously used to wipe their arse." Most forum members agree that effective expulsion is a chimera: the countries of origin of many incivil, such as Segarro and Algeria, refuse to accept repatriations, as SPQR points out. Colombia and Peru, on the other hand, do take them back, which is why those are the nationalities that appear most often in the news. User cacho_perro, who peine the thread with a link to EFE, is sarcastic: "TO COLOMBIA AND PERU, DAMNED RASSSISTSSS."
The figure that hurts: 411 against a million
The most repeated figure is not the expulsions but the arrivals. "Over a million come in and 400 are expelled. The system works. Damn bulo-spreading fascists," writes fluffy. User Alex001 puts it in perspective: "That amount in two hours at Barajas." The feeling is that no matter how many are expelled, irregular immigration remains an unstoppable flow. yogurt caducado diarreico is even blunter: "In those 4 months you've expelled 100 and 5,000 have come in." The debate then shifts from nationality to effectiveness: what's the point of expelling people if the border isn't controlled?
The unexpected twist: the Mossos have no jurisdiction
Midway through the thread, SPQR drops a fact that changes the focus: "The Mossos can't expel anyone, they have no jurisdiction over immigration matters." According to this user, the original news story may be inflated or misinterpreted, since expulsions are carried out by the Policía Nacional (Spain's national police force). This causes a schism between those who defend the Mossos' work and those who see it as independence propaganda. "Great start to the thread, lying," adds SPQR. The thread then drifts towards the politicization of security and distrust of institutions.
