We interview the writer and journalist Gabriele Del Grande, author of Mamadou goes to die and the Middle Sea
Luigi Riccio
interview. "We call on Europe 5 billion to stop immigration," he repeated the Libyan leader Gaddafi last EU-African Union summit. The future scenario that the dictator draws are always the same: black Europe, flooded with thousands and thousands of unfortunate people. The speaker looks more like a Borghezio of the Northern League that an African leader. But so be it. If Europe wants to stop the "invasion" must release the money.
But since then this money is not even a few, one wonders how this "help" would be helpful. For this, we asked the writer and journalist Gabriele Del Grande, one that in recent years has studied the field of migration flows from North Africa and author of The Middle Sea (reviewed here).
Gaddafi reiterated its "readiness" to stop immigration illegal immigration in Europe, after payment of 5 billion. What could be the real impact of his contribution?
It 's all a farce. Her and those of Europe. What they call illegal immigration does not exist. And if there does not pass from Libya. What do I mean? For example, Maroni has just signed a decree for entry of 100,000 foreign workers in Italy in 2011, or 100 times the number of the thousands returned to Libya by Italian navy between 2009 and 2010. A decree farce in the sense that everyone knows the 100,000 already in Italy, where they arrived on a tourist visa, largely from Eastern Europe, which has since expired throwing them into hiding. They will emerge and documents. The less fortunate, that in proportion to account for 1% of arrivals, but will be arrested and tortured in Libyan prisons financed by Europe and Italy. Gaddafi plays on fears of Europe. And Europe has finally lost touch with reality. The problem is not landing in the Mediterranean. Also because the repression along the border does not stop the arrivals, but has only two effects: changing routes and increasing the power of the mafia of smugglers operating routes prohibited.
The facts of this chronicle of the 250 hostages in the desert of Sinai emerge (or confirm) that the directions of the flows are not static but may change, for example, when the old channels are no longer viable. After agreements between Italy and Libya, which change had the migration routes?
The main routes have not changed. You arrive by bus and plane, Eastern Europe, South America and the Maghreb, then let the visa expire and expects the amnesty decree or streams. Have changed the routes instead of the sea, covering a fraction of the emigrants in Italy, among other things, mostly political refugees, to which Italy has an obligation of international protection. These people have started to reach Europe through the eastern door, especially through the Turkey and Ukraine. And in part, especially for the Eritreans, to the State of Israel, through Egypt. Frontex is well aware, motivo per cui ha aumentato la repressione e il controllo sui confini dell'Europa con Turchia e Ucraina.
Frontex, l’agenzia per le frontiere europee, è stata poco fa in Senegal, in Grecia e altri paesi da cui maggiormente proviene l’immigrazione clandestina. L’impressione che fa, è che stiano cercando di tappare tutte le “falle” per rendere l’Europa inaccessibile. Sei d’accordo con questa visione? E quali conseguenze può avere o sta avendo questo tipo di politiche?
L'obiettivo non è tanto sigillare la frontiera, quanto piuttosto usare la frontiera per filtrare e controllare chi passa. L'Europa non riconosce il diritto alla libertà di circolazione, che pure applies to its citizens in most of the world, and decides to treat foreigners as commodities. Each year, solely on the basis of estimates, governments decide how many work to import arms from foreign countries to maintain low cost production in certain sectors such as construction, agriculture, domestic care. It does everything possible to block all the other side, whether poor or refugees. It does everything to expel from its territory of all foreign nationals poor, marginal and unproductive. The logic is clear. You lose the contract of employment, you pick up the permit. The consequences of these practices are serious, because they are institutionalizing the culture of the expulsion. The culture that is why if you are poor, marginal, unproductive and problematic, rather than help, the company will eject. Now apply to foreign nationals, whose margins are caused by our own laws that prohibit them from working, renting home, to exist. Tomorrow will apply to those? Disabled? For the mentally ill? For the unemployed? For the casual? These are issues that concern everyone, because they concern the rule of law.
