The lives of immigrants continues to drift
The mini summit of the European Commission did not head the drama unfolding in the Mediterranean Sea. The emergency meeting on Sunday 24, It has been motivated by the humanitarian crisis of African migrants rescued. At the same attended 16 of the 28 member countries, without representatives of the Eastern bloc, British and Irish.
Paris and Berlin announced migration agreements, although not involving all countries of the imperialist bloc. French President Emmanuel Macron expressed the need for cooperation with third countries of origin and transit of immigrants and strengthening border. It included landing centers and a distribution other than immigration "burden".
German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, wants to achieve "quick agreement" but not with all partners. His coalition government is stressed by the Christian Social Union of Bavaria (CSU) and Horst Seehofer Interior Minister, which still requires more restrictions.
The Spanish President, Pedro Sánchez, He tuned with the Franco-German proposal "We found more nicks discrepancies."
Beyond the nuances between governments, EU as a bloc holds a reactionary policy.
Austrian Chancellor, Sebastian Kurz, which will assume the presidency of the European Council next semester- raised the need for stricter control of external borders among other harmful measures. So they did the Belgian Prime Minister, Charles Michel and Danish, Lars Lokke Rasmussen and head of the Croatian government, Andrej Plenkovic.
Italian Interior Minister, Matteo Salvini far-right, is refusing to receive migrants ("human flesh, he has said) what They were saved by Aquarius. Now President Giuseppe Conte has proposed creating "centers of international protection" in transit States. They would be selected who is entitled to asylum and who is not, leaving aside the Dublin Regulation.
In the heights of power, openly racist vying to gain ground. Just to take an example, the Hungarian Parliament approved a package of legislation that criminalizes immigrants helps with imprisonment. We must remember that in the "draft conclusions" to the European summit to be held 28 Y 29 of June, It arises realize "regional platforms landing" outside the EU, possibly in Tunisia and Albania. So you open the way for xenophobia, the growth of the fascists and the confusions of some sectors of society are discriminators.
The world is witnessing a dispute evening between European imperialism and the US to determine who is antihuman.
Immigrants fleeing hunger, misery, of wars, political persecution, in many cases, inheritance of European imperial colonization. Because, We do not make obeisance to governments taking some partial measure, are minimal humanitarian obligations to be assumed.
A real host involves rescue at sea and harboring immigrants. Also provide the necessary infrastructure to live in decent conditions, asylum, the possibility of obtaining housing and full rights. No human being is illegal. We must support people demanding that they cancel the usurious debts, that progressive taxes are charged to great riches, banks and businesses to cover the costs arising.
We can not forget the immigrants and refugees in all continents. Neither of the bodies found on the beaches of Greece and Italy, or the 70 Syrians killed in a refrigerated truck abandoned in Austria. Neither of the small Aylan body lying on a Turkish beach, or those who drown in the Mediterranean. Are examples of barbarism towards leading capitalist imperialism that is necessary to defeat.
