Migrations increasingly global problem

The facts of the migrations that are involving the citizens of Venezuela, which, due to the difficult political and economic situation of the country, are trying to escape into neighboring countries: Ecuador, Brazil and Colombia, testify how the migration issue has become a global problem to be addressed with shared solutions. The Venezuelan population is about 31,700,000 and only two million people have sought shelter abroad in the last fifteen months. The situation in Venezuela is an example of how the migration phenomenon can now spread to all areas of the world and has become a global problem. If the question reaches parts of the planet that should have a certain stability it is necessary to question how to prevent the phenomenon and then how to deal with it in a concrete way. The Venezuelan situation highlights how the danger of a nation's impoverishment no longer concerns only the African or Asian continent, but potentially it can affect every nation. Certainly the countries of the so-called first world have institutions that should preserve them from similar institutions, but which can not prevent them from being the point of arrival of the desperate. Also the reactions of the American countries bordering with Venezuela, show worrying analogies with European countries and are destined to favor the growth of right-wing movements, a symptom of closure but also of lack of preparation for the management of the phenomenon. Among other things, in Brazil the elections are approaching and this contingent situation can concretely favor the candidate of the extreme right, going to repeat the political conditions that have been produced in several European countries also because of the migration issue. Certainly the unstable political conditions, caused by a lack of democracy and the presence of corruption, favor the emergence of conditions of poverty, which contribute to feed the migratory flows; but to these must be added conflict situations, climatic conditions and food shortages, which are often connected. In essence, the lack of survival conditions, which involves a very wide range of situations, determines the increase in migration to companies that are not willing to give up parts of their standard of living. Short-term management obliges the search for temporary solutions that are often insufficient for the effective management of the phenomenon and which often lead to adverse reactions in local communities. If it is difficult to find coordinated remedies within subjects that are part of supranational organizations, such as the European Union, it is even more difficult to seek shared solutions between states, which, at best, only have good-neighborly relations. The biggest mistake is that of not knowing how to predict the phenomenon and get caught unprepared; this would represent an opportunity for the United Nations to get out of current apathy and regain some of the lost prestige. The creation of rules, perhaps framed in international law, could favor the prevention of the phenomenon, based on the development of poor countries and on the sanction of countries where the lack of democracy creates immigration. Of course migratory flows can not be erased, just like the necessary presence of refugee camps, which have the merit of providing initial assistance; however, shared international rules and effective instruments in the hands of international organizations seem to be the only viable solution to be able to stem the phenomenon and not create tensions within the destination countries. All this while keeping in mind that without a start of a global redistribution policy, even unbalanced in favor of rich countries, migrations, which are nevertheless destined to rise, will become an unstoppable phenomenon, capable of subverting the balance and economic structure world.
