Riots have erupted in the Spanish town of Torre Pacheco following reports that a local pensioner was assaulted by North African migrants. Masked vigilante groups have begun patrolling streets with bats, leading to clashes between Spanish citizens and Moroccan gangs involved in drug trafficking. Similar anti-migrant sentiment is rising in the Netherlands, where citizens have reportedly taken to the borders with clubs to prevent entry, reflecting a growing frustration with the "caretaker" government's immigration policies.
