José Morales, Uruguayan, is going to/may be deported by virtue of something that would entail an administrative sanction if the affected person were of Spanish nationality. That is the key to the debate and nothing else.
Discussing whether the police should or should not have initiated the file, talking about its correctness, pontificating about his right to appeal and the subsequent intervention of a court, is beating around the bush. The substantive issue is that the law allows a resident to be deported for such trivial matters that a national would only be subject to an administrative sanction.
In this way, the penalty is not only suffered by him, but also by his family, since the deportation of one of its members would force the family to leave the country if they want something as basic as maintaining coexistence.
But there is also a more far-reaching perverse effect. If more than 5.5 million foreigners reside in Spain, most of whom are workers and their families, the message being sent to them is terrifying: either you shut up or we kick you out.
For the rest, the nationals, reforms are announced that will hinder the legitimate right to take to the streets, the squares, the public space, to protest.
"The street is mine," the "intellectual" father of the Spanish right came to affirm in his authoritarian delusions. At this rate, his heirs are about to make the phrase true.
