Europe: the virus of the iolation of human rights at the border

Perhaps it is repetitive and tiresome to say that Europe violates human rights by closing its borders to refugees who flee from the “virus” of war, poverty, political persecution, homophobia, feminicide, climate change and the looting of the riches of their countries of origin. However, the violation of human rights by that European Union champion of human rights in other times, either directly (Greece, Spain, Croatia, Italy, etc.), through third parties (Turkey, Serbia, Libya, etc), by omission or for convenience, is continued and shameless at the same time.

Days ago, world news was what happened on the Greek-Turkish border: Thousands of refugees were gassed and beaten, and a boy and a young man were killed by Greek and Turkish police charges.

In Lesbos (Greece), there is perhaps the largest “concentration camp” for refugees in Europe (Moria), where thousands of people live crowded, and in deplorable human conditions.

On the border of Hungary with Serbia, with funds from the European Union, an ultrasound fence has been built to prevent refugees who "inhabit" the forests of Serbia from crossing their border into European territory.

In Spain, in Melilla and Ceuta (the southern border), fences have been built to prevent the passage of refugees and migrants fleeing their countries of origin, which take between 2 and 5 years to travel to Europe to through Spain, and when they arrive they go into the forests near the border with Morocco, and they survive in these forests at the expense of Moroccan police repression, looking for a propitious moment to jump the fence, and those who do not manage to do so via, they try to reach Spanish territory by swimming from the Moroccan side. In one of these attempts, in February 2014, the Civil Guard murdered 16 people.

Turkey, Libya and Morocco are countries that provide their external border control services to the European Union, services for which they receive large amounts of money, or political concessions of all kinds, especially of an economic nature, and foreign policy. Turkey received in March 2016, nothing more and nothing less than 6,000 million euros and the visa exemption for its citizens, and whenever it wants, it blackmails the EU by opening its borders and allowing refugees to enter European territory, as happened in February 2020 due to the EU's non-positioning of the Russian attacks on the Turkish army in Idlib (Syria). In 2017, Libya received nearly 1,300 million euros, being a failed state controlled by warlords, and in addition, it allows the sale and purchase of migrants and refugees, that is, it has created a slave market with money from The EU. Morocco receives military support and material from Spain, which by the way in 2019, allocated 26 million euros, which according to the newspaper El País, the amount was imputed to the 2019 budgets under the project "Support for the comprehensive management of borders and of migration in Morocco ”, within the framework of the 140 million that the EU allocated to aid for border control to that country.

On the borders of Hungary, and in Greece itself, paramilitary patrols have been created that “hunt” the refugees, beat them, tie them as if they were criminals, and then turn over the police, that is, these countries that belong to to the EU, allow creation and work with these ultra and neo-Nazi groups. Everything is justified by the "fear", the "call effect" and the non-invasion of Europe, thereby strengthening the virus of racism, xenophobia and hatred that once infected and invaded all of Europe and produced one of the greatest holocausts in human history, and the humanitarian and refugee crisis not seen before, and the reception of thousands of people in different countries.
