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.
