Call for solidarity of the EU Mediterranean

For a group of organizations, 03/03/2011

While major political changes , announcing the end of authoritarian regimes, is underway south of the Mediterranean Governments and institutions of the European Union show primarily concerned to protect themselves against "uncontrolled migration" that could cause these changes. Experts and diplomatic services, which have seen nothing come of political movements in progress, do not hesitate to assert today that thousands of migrants are likely to surge in European territories.

EU in 2001 adopted a so-called "temporary protection" to nationals of states, victims of natural disasters, political unrest in their country or armed conflict, would urgently need to find shelter in Europe. But "today there is no flow of refugees from Libya, was quick to indicate the European Commission. At the same time it sends patrol its maritime borders, through Frontex, to prevent potential refugees, treated as illegal migrants crossing the Mediterranean!

Meanwhile, the situation is worsening day by day in Libya and its borders. In Tunisia, an influx of tens of thousands of refugees, the device is saturated, despite efforts by authorities Local. Europe can not continue to pretend that she was not concerned by the plight of tens or hundreds of thousands of people who need protection in the countries currently troubled, neither by that of migrant.es, from various other Arab, African, Asian, living there.

Not so long ago, Europe was boasting to deploy "a Euro-Mediterranean policy." This ambition would she shattered, just when many nations potential partners in this "Euro-Mediterranean" are becoming democracies?

We solemnly appeal to all European governments, the EU bodies, all political parties to be taken in consultation with partners around the Mediterranean, measures are urgently needed:

- make available planes to allow the repatriation not only nationals of European countries but of all those who can and want to return to their countries, such as Egyptians who are currently in Tunisia;

- allow evacuation by air or by sea, from portions of Libyan territory that are no longer in the hands Gaddafi, Libya blocked foreigners and their governments are unable to evacuate;

- for the reception, the European territory , refugees can not return to their country;

- Implement without delay the device to give the temporary protection to all those in the emergency situation where we can legitimately rely;

- end Frontex patrols that prevent the arrival of refugees by sea ;

We must stop feeding the fear of European populations systematically brandishing the specter of the "invasion". We must stop considering it a priority to prevent emigration from disturbed areas.

We reject this selfish crime. We want a Europe of solidarity and hospitality.
