EVERYBODY TO CALAIS November 28th and 29th!<br>
<br>
<br>
LET'S CROSS THE CHANNEL!<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The State is sinking!<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
In 2002, Sarkozy closed a hangar. In 2009, Besson tackles the<br>
<br>
wastelands (jungles!) On September 22nd, Besson played the big guy in
Calais.<br>
<br>
In line with Sarkozy, the minister of national identity and
immigration can say<br>
<br>
he does what he says.<br>
<br>
But what did he do? He sent hundreds of cops to round the refugees up
on wasteland<br>
<br>
(the jungles), most having fled the war made<br>
<br>
by Western powers in Afghanistan, Iraq ... No need to be a<br>
<br>
medium to know that the situation will not change. The refugees still
want, the<br>
vast<br>
<br>
majority to live in Great Britain: they want to cross the border !<br>
<br>
What he did is physically assaulting people (refugees, support
activists ...),<br>
created a<br>
<br>
climate of terror. But ... the<br>
<br>
Refugees will not evaporate. Once the storm passes, the cops
reinforcements<br>
<br>
have left, they will return or they have already gone to other places
on the<br>
coast, or even<br>
<br>
gone as far as Belgium or Holland.<br>
<br>
What he has done, this is just posturing for the media to say that the
state is<br>
there.<br>
<br>
The government action came after a careful preparation of the population<br>
<br>
in Calais. For example, the prefecture of Pas de Calais destroyed the
water taps<br>
, thus<br>
<br>
preventing the refugees from having access to this vital resource! The
hope of the<br>
<br>
prefecture was obviously to force them to go into the gardens of houses
in order<br>
to quench<br>
<br>
their thirst ...<br>
<br>
The goal was obviously that Calaisians come themselves en masse to
demand the<br>
<br>
repression of refugees, or to help the Cops to do it.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Besson justifies his posturing in the media as the hunt for smugglers.<br>
<br>
Without doubt people are probably taking advantage of the situation
created by the<br>
<br>
State and the European Community. The best way to fight against
trafficking in<br>
<br>
human beings and to ensure that the material conditions of that trade
no longer<br>
exist;<br>
<br>
said another way, by closing the border states of the European
Community create the<br>
<br>
conditions for the general benefit of smugglers.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Besson is a liar. We know that, but it is beyond comprehension. Why<br>
<br>
did many refugees not seek political asylum in France?<br>
<br>
If they ask asylum here, they are at high risk of being deported to a
country in<br>
the sphere<br>
<br>
of the Dublin agreements. Clearly, they would be sent back to the
country they<br>
have been<br>
<br>
checked in for the first time and very often that means to Greece!<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
We can never prevent people from wanting to live where they<br>
<br>
wish. We can never prevent people from wanting to immigrate. Confirming<br>
<br>
the contrary, is to affirm that there is trafficking in human beings,
affirming<br>
that there are<br>
<br>
people who drown while trying to cross the oceans clandestinely ...<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Justifying the closure of borders to protect our social rights is<br>
<br>
also a lie. In France the borders have been officially closed since<br>
<br>
1974. This has not prevented governments since from attacking our social<br>
acquisitions.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The rationale has been used to make scapegoats and to fuel racist
ideology to<br>
satisfy<br>
<br>
reactionary currents.<br>
<br>
<br>
The only realistic response to resolve the issue of asylum seekers, the<br>
<br>
refugees and the undocumented, especially in the Calais, is to open<br>
<br>
the borders and to let the people live where they wish, whatever their
reasons.<br>
<br>
It is important that we return to Calais to tell Besson, Hortefeux,
Sarkozy<br>
<br>
that their batons, their cops did not stop us. That everyone will move
and<br>
settle freely,<br>
<br>
that all people should always be received worthily. That we are sick
that there<br>
is always<br>
<br>
enough money for repression, beatings, deportations, but there never
there is<br>
never for<br>
<br>
the respect of human dignity!<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
