Mr President, the governments of the Member States are unwilling to give a joint response to the situation of war and deep social and political transformation currently taking place just across our borders.
Contrary to my report on the reception conditions of asylum seekers, they continue to insist on systematically incarcerating refugees, people who have had to flee their countries precisely because they stood up for freedom – our freedom as well as theirs, as they are both inseparable.
Holding refugees in custody is both expensive and unjust. It prevents them from overcoming the traumatic experiences they have lived through, it criminalises people who have suffered crimes against humanity, and it is a waste of public money. Let us take a different course of action making use of alternatives to custody.
In a world that is becoming increasingly bipolar and with an ailing economy, Europe is doomed to indifference and failure. Let us reinvigorate our values. I fully go along with the questions that my colleague and great friend Rui Tavares has raised here today."@en1
