PRESS RELEASE: When will the European Union recognize its responsibility in the tragedy of Lampedusa? "However, while they do not show “solidarity” in the reception of refugees, we can be sure that, out of fear for an imagined invasion of massive numbers of migrants, "European leaders will rediscover a spirit of ‘solidarity’ when it comes to strengthening and reinforcing the capacity to secure the geographical periphery of the El Dorado formed by the 28 member states. In order to better monitor international waters, from now on drones will be added to maritime or aerial patrols. The new EUROSUR system will identify small boats better, they tell us; probably more to push migrants back to their coasts of departure than to assist migrants in distress[1]. With regard to Frontex, its resources will be increased once more, but not to enable it to ensure effective rescues at sea. Is it not enough? Then, the EU will also need to prevent migrants from departing, leaving the camps close to war zones where they are confined and from crossing Africa from South to North, from East to West dreaming of a better future. To this end, the EU hastens to propose third countries, especially Southern and Eastern Mediterranean countries, to sign “mobility partnerships” and readmission agreements. Thus, these countries become the new border guards of Europe!""
