Fed-up Spaniards lash out at socialist prime minister after migrant invasion: ‘A third-world country’

Outraged Spaniards lashed out at their socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez for turning the country into a “third-world” hellhole overrun with migrants.

Furious locals booed Sánchez and dubbed him a “son of a b—h” as he arrived Friday in the country’s North African enclave of Ceuta the day after an unprecedented 60,000 migrants flooded in from neighboring Morocco.

“Everybody hates him,” a 21-year-old Spanish-Italian entrepreneur who is studying in upstate New York told The Post.

“Do you think it’s normal that people have to barbwire the terrace of their apartments? We’re talking about Spain — now it looks like a third-world country,” he fumed.

The student, who did not want to be identified, added that his grandparents in the mainland city of Malaga think the situation is “an absolute disgrace.”

“They’ve told me Spain has gotten out of control,” he said.

“I mean, we’re giving passports and residency to people who are illegally coming in with criminal backgrounds and diseases.”

Crime in his home country, he said, has spiraled with unchecked migration under progressive leadership.

The young entrepreneur described how a migrant smashed his car window in an attempt to break into the vehicle when he was back working in Spain at the start of summer — leaving him feeling that the country he is from is no longer a place where he could live.

“It’s very sad that the whole country that I am from is a place that we can’t even consider living in, due to not only it being unsafe but also the squatters’ rights being unacceptable,” he sighed, adding that his grandfather’s car had been stolen three times.

Meanwhile, local residents in Ceuta vented their anger and frustration at the country’s leadership in interviews with Spanish media.

“Sánchez is to blame for all of this, he’s a scoundrel,” one unnamed man told the Antena 3 TV station.

In another harrowing clip, local resident Rocio Gil wept as she was interviewed while surrounded by jeering migrants.

“We feel totally abandoned, the outlook is catastrophic,” she told an Antena 3 journalist, before slamming the government for not declaring a national emergency and deploying the military sooner.

“We are scared, we cannot allow this to happen,” the desperate local woman added.

“Where are our rights as Spaniards? We are alone, we cannot call the police because they are overrun. We need urgent help, this is outrageous.”

Opposition leaders also blasted Sanchez, with the leader of the right-wing Vox party, Santiago Abascal, calling the prime minister a “traitor and mafioso who behaves like an enemy of Spain.”

“Every future rape or stabbing will have been imported by Pedro Sánchez, and his legacy is the collapse of our housing stock and our health care system,” Abascal seethed.

“Pedro Sánchez is the main culprit for what Spaniards are suffering and will suffer.”

Isabel Diaz Ayuso, the right-wing Popular Party’s president of the Madrid region, accused Sanchez of “allowing the invasion of Spain via Ceuta” to cover up corruption cases that have dogged him, his wife and his party.
