(en) Greece, rocinante.gr: Solidarity with Refugees - Free
movement for all. (gr) [machine translation]
Currently societies of Europe and the countries situated in the Mediterranean region are
invited to support basic needs and basic rights concerning refugee population escaping
from the deportations, purges of civilians, the savage civil wars and wars in Syria, Libya
, Afghanistan, Sudan and elsewhere. --- From the 90s in Europe, the ideology of "security"
changing constantly and dramatically transnational policies that undermine the conditions
for asylum and human rights. --- Racist policies aim is the exploitation of migrant life
and work. ---- In the last 20 years new intergovernmental police and military institutions
of the European states in cooperation with authoritarian regimes in the "periphery" of,
have declared war on human movement and refugees resulting in tens of thousands dead and
missing trying to find asylum and work in countries Europe. 20,000 deaths from the 90s
documented by rights groups as murders for which the responsible anti-immigration policies
in Europe, while the real number remains unknown. Instead, institutions protecting the
rights of refugees remain relaxed and inadequate.
The Greek state, racist groups and perceptions that exist in Greek society, the press and
political parties have great responsibility. In Greek detention camps instead of famous
human rights of the families of immigrants and refugees face for years illegal inclusions,
denial of the right to request asylum, forced and hazardous deportations, torture and even
minors refugees by the police. Meanwhile, migrant labor (a huge chunk of the working class
in the country) paranomopoieitai and remains much more fragile than the piece of the
native: While we have now reached and "third generation" even prohibited in the migratory
families and working class communities elementary workers , political and social rights.
With the new government, the situation "makigiaristike" but did not change substantially.
Right now, thousands of immigrant families and mainly Syrian refugees arriving daily in
Greece. Lesvos and Kos there is already the possibility of a very serious humanitarian
crisis as there is difficulty in response to feeding and housing issues. The refugee
families stacked in areas without infrastructure and appalling hygiene conditions of
children to make the process of military identification. The telefaia years small
solidarity groups voluntarily lift heavy weights, across not only analgesia and the
transnational methodical attempt extermination of refugees.
Defending the rights of refugees is not marginal or secondary issue. Unlike a criterion
and measure of the strength of cohesive values of solidarity, class and social
consciousness, like the anti-fascist and anti-war memory. In - always late - past, ruined
by the devastation of war societies, in times much more difficult than today succeeded
against powerful armies to give examples of advocacy for refugees. At this juncture of the
"crisis", the defense of refugee life and travel is an absolute priority for the values
and social relationships of mutual aid. Both in terms of class struggle, and in terms of
collective and individual responsibility around what it means man.
