And citizens alike.. i do a lot of travel inside Spain.. this is absurd.. the amount of mandatory data is baffling

you've never been to China, have you? nothing like this exists in China.

As always, the empire projects its own sins onto others. Rule of thumb, when the EU or the US claim any bullshit about any of their geopolitical enemies, you can take it to the bank that it's in fact what they're doing, and they're diverting from it by trying to paint their enemies as offenders. There are literally a thousand examples of this, from press freedoms and human rights abuses and use of banned weapons to genocide.

Don't help them with their bullshit story of "but look, our enemies are even worse, so yeaaaah this may be a bit much, but would you rather support (insert any enemy of the day here)?!" this is the playbook. Don't play along.

The information now required includes:

First name Surname 2nd surname (if applicable) Sex Identity document number Document support number Type of document (ID card, passport, TIE) Nationality Date of birth Full address (legal residence) Region/province/locality (legal residence) Country (legal residence) Phone number Mobile phone E-mail address Number of travellers in the group Relationship between the travellers in the group (in the event that any of them are minors).

What are you going to do as EU citizen if you are forced to have digital id, no cash and CBDC. You will own nothing and be happy.

Is the European Union not requesting biometrics of some kind for non-EU citizens. I might be wrong but this to me seems the greater infringement.

Tit-for-tat government data harvesting.

I just went to Spain for the first time, and I was surprised how little they checked me at customs. Literally zero questions asked. Just stamped my passport and handed it back.

Normally, I'm at least asked how long I plan to stay. Spain was nice. I wanna go back and spend longer.

They usher them in by saying its a cheap place to visit, then they farm your information. Starting to sound fishy.
