Call for the action
Stop the shipwrecks and disappearance of immigrants at sea! The thousands of dead immigrants at sea are a direct consequence of the immigration policies of the European Union
We denounce:
- A Europe blinded by the murdering obsession of security
- The outsourcing of european immigration policy to the other side of the Mediterranean, which leads to serious violations of human rights and dignity
- The egoism and hypocrisy of european states, who refused to help Italy carry on with the operation Mare Nostrum
We fight:
- For the abolition of the Frontex agency, which is partly responsible for the repeated shipwrecks in the Mediterranean. Frontex doesn't have the objective of saving human lives but of intercepting and controlling individuals «To keep under surveillance is not to cater for»
- For the allocation of security policy funds to solidarity instead
- For the transformation of the euro-mediterranean zone from a regime of murdering borders into a zone of solidarity and right to protection
- For the freedom of movement
To stop the massacre, the logic of Fortress Europe must be inverted and give place to international mobility, authorise the access to european territory and respect the laws of international protection. It is under the pretext of collaboration and development aid that Europe finances further means of repression and detention camps. And it is Frontex under bilateral agreements, which favors this policy without democratic control by the European Parliament. We demand from the Members of the European Parliament to remain vigilant against Frontex actions and to exercise their democratic control.
- For a solidary Mediterranean
- For the freedom of movement
- Against the violation of International Law
