The money will be allocated from Spain’s share of the European Union’s Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, a fund centred on post-Covid recovery in the bloc.

The idea, which has been discussed in industry circles since the 1970s, is to connect Spain and Morocco via an underwater rail tunnel. The project was formalised in the 1980s but suffered many setbacks and was officially dropped in 2009 in the wake of the global financial crash.

However, strong signals from governments on both sides of the Gibraltar Straight in 2023 have reignited the discussion.

In April, at the first meeting between Spanish and Moroccan government ministers in 14 years, Spain’s Transport Minister Raquel Sánchez Jiménez promised to inject “impetus”, saying: “We are going to give impetus to the studies of a project of maximum geostrategic importance for our countries.”

Morocco inaugurated its first high-speed rail line in 2018, connecting its northern hub Tangier with its capital Rabat and tourism hotspot Casablanca.

I guess the boats being used to replace and displace Europeans are not happening fast enough.

This will undoubtedly put an END to Europe as it has been for thousands of years.

I tell the European liberals that their children will be made slaves. Some of them seem to get it now, a bit late however.

Gibraltar to Morocco. Air boats go back and forth every day, but are there enough travelers to justify a underwater railroad.

Why connect Spain to Morocco, at best a 3rd world country with nothing to offer the EU except migrants?

Gibraltar to Morocco.

Spain to Morocco. Likely Tarifa to Tangier, a ferry ride takes about an hour.

Air boats go back and forth every day...

Not from Gibraltar. The daily boats go from Spain.

Because replacing the European is the intended outcome.
The globalist bankers want the elimination of white people.

They think they will rule the world.
They don’t think they will need to.
That’s why they are building a prison planet with surveillance all over the place.

Because filling Europe with 3rd world migrants has been great so far.

If they actually move forward with this, it will be completed decades before the Kalifornia super train to nowhere.
