The European Union is considering a financial plan to stop the flow of migrants
There
is a European Union project that, starting from what was agreed with
Turkey, positive or negative experience, it aims to create a model to
stop immigration to their territory. Underlying this view there is a clear distinction between refugees and economic migrants. However, the methods of treatment of the phenomenon are approximately the same. For both cases, we want to fund those countries hosting refugees, the same as Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan; while,
as regards economic migrants you want to favor investments in those
states that might create occasions of work, to avoid, or at least limit,
the phenomenon of migration. The
measure, in general, might be acceptable, but without a precise
analysis of the political situation of the states to which to allocate
the contributions, you are likely to replicate the situation that the
European Union is currently experiencing with Turkey, where Brussels has
not substantially given the nature of Erdogan's regime to solve quickly a problem that can compromise the integrity of the European. The risk is that to obtain the advantages of small compared to a situation of constant blackmail. While
it is true that the pressure on Greece and the Balkan route has
decreased as a result of agreements with Ankara, it is equally true,
that Turkey expects the gain that right now Europe may not correspond
precisely to the situation inside the turkish country, where rights and individual freedoms are severely compromised. For
the moment the turkish government is implementing a policy of waiting,
but always have the option to change attitudes and reopen migration
flows. The
example turkish represents a model to be followed especially to avoid
its drawbacks: it is true that a Europe unable to find alternative
solutions had to take advantage of the geographical location of Turkey,
this limit will not be valid to enter into agreements with states much
more distant. The
European project is not, solely to distribute funding, but also to
create their specific ties with the states that will join in this
program. This
aspect implies a direct involvement of Europe that will no longer
irrespective only enter into agreements with states ruled by executive
able to ensure absolute respect for human rights and democratic
guarantees. It
is a fundamental aspect also to implement a program which aims also to
expand the enjoyment of rights in countries where they are not insured. One
aspect to give special attention, directly connected to the
distribution of funding has to do with large-scale corruption suffering
from many African countries and threatens to undermine the economic
effort of Brussels. Grant
loans without the guarantee of how they will be used is likely to
become a boomerang for the European Union, which could go to finance
unknowingly, not only local businessmen, but also representatives of the
underworld, until you get to more serious situations such as terrorism.
The
total amount that should be allocated comes to 8,000 million euro,
partly including amounts already provided, to be used over the next five
years to find sustainable solutions and meet European demands. African countries with which it should start collaborations are Nigeria, Niger, Ethiopia, Senegal and Mali. The
mechanism, as well as preventive, that is able to avoid new waves of
migration, should be able also to encourage the return of economic
migrants, thanks to the existence of new job prospects in their
countries of origin, created just with structural funds from Brussels. The
discourse on refugees is more complex because it will have to cover
several stages, waiting for the end of the conditions that led to the
escape from the countries of origin, such as war and conflicts in the
Middle East area. Definitely
a situation of pacification of the territories is the essential
condition for the return to their home countries, but, together, hygiene
and dietary conditions, no less important than civil and political
rights must be guaranteed. also
need to consider the necessary assistance in the refugee camps, often
collapsing, Kenites neighboring countries hosting refugees. Part
of the financing will need to address the improvement of the conditions
of these facilities increasingly less secure from the humanitarian
point of view. These
decisions too to anoint postponed, which had to be taken before and at a
more gradual to avoid humanitarian crises which have affected European
countries, who have not made a figure worthy of their history. You
will see whether these projects will be pursued with conviction, will
bring Europe to its role, also practical and not just theoretical, the
champion of rights.
