All divided on redistribution, all unite on return. Always ready to exploit African resources, never ready to accept Africans. The EU agenda? A way to say we don't want anybody
Opinion
Wouldn't be easier and more honest say Europe doesn't want immigrants? What we are seeing with the European debate on the agenda for migration is a pitiful and shameful show. Something really disgusting, I would add. Resettlement? Relocation? Redistribution? Nothing of all that. The European agenda for migration is nothing but return. People arriving in Europe have to be identified and pushed back to their country of origin, and that's it. European leader clearly agreed on that. The European answer to this humanitarian crisis has to be a European mechanism of identification and return. Don't call it expulsions, because it is about no admission that we talk about. It doesn't matter where people are coming from, the key point is that people entitled to get the refugee status can stay, while all the other have to leave. The main political issue is how to save face both at home and outside. After an extraordinary European Council summit meeting summoned in order to find a solution to the migration flows, European leaders have to show their capacity in delivering of outcomes. At the same time they can't say their national electors that they are going to spend energy or money to take care of foreigners. Hypocrisy is ruling Europe right now.
There is no real will to seriously address the problem, otherwise a policy for the development of Africa would be already in place. The so-called "countries of origin" are part of the problem, but not in the sense the Europeans say. The problem is migrations have origin in the third countries, where there are no wealth, no access to wealth, no job, no political stability. Let's stop and reflect for a while: why do people escape from their own countries? There are different reasons, all dramatically valid. They know really well in Europe. With nearly 5.4 million people under 25 years old are unemployed in the EU (roughly the population size of Denmark), every year the European Union supports more than 400,000 young professionals in finding jobs, training and studying abroad. In those vessels arriving to Italy from north Africa there are people who share the same destiny of the children of Europe, but what for Europeans is the single market, for immigrants is the single refusal. If Europe really doesn't want immigrants, rather than forcing for a return system the EU leader should act at the origin of the problem working for stability and prosperity of the country of origin. France didn't hesitate to bomb Libya when it came to defend business of Total, but was ready to close the borders when people from Libya wanted enter the country. Until African countries will be politically unstable and economically weak Europe will have to deal with immigrants. Unless the European community decides to allow Africa of exit once and for all the post-colonial era. Here the European agenda is nothing but exploitation. In short, Europe just wants African natural resources. Acting in this way Europe is part of the problem, given it contributes to generate that poverty which lead many and many people to search for human dignity elsewhere. In somehow, Europe deserves migrations flows: they are there to recall the responsibilities of the problem.
