We voted against this report which again proposes, on the pretext of ‘combating terrorism’, to ‘facilitate co-operation between the police and judicial authorities in the fight against terrorism’.
Stepping up repression wherever this may be (Ireland, the Basque Country, Corsica, etc) with contempt for the quest for a political solution, has not yet shown that it is the way to stamp out terrorism. Repression has instead, in response, played a part in fuelling terrorism.
In reality, ‘combating terrorism’ is only being used here as a pretext to further strengthen Europe’s security measures, whilst once again highlighting the fact that it is beyond the control of the population. The fact that this proposal emanates from the Kingdom of Spain, whose security measures have retained many of the traits inherited from Francoism, does nothing to inspire confidence.
It is certainly not a lack of security measures that Europe is suffering from. It is, on the contrary, suffering from abuses of security, where migrant workers must, in addition to all their other problems, deal with the suspicion of being potential ‘terrorists’."@en1
