The dozens of dead and hundreds of injured refugees and migrants in Melilla, at the EU’s external border with Morocco, victims of mass murder by the Moroccan authorities in their attempt to cross into Europe, make for yet another black page for the European continent.
All responsible for this gruesome bloodbath must be held accountable. And EU leadership bears the ultimate responsibility when, instead of real coordinated solidarity to the countries of first reception through compulsory and proportional relocation, it opts for the failed and dead-end policies of “Fortress Europe.”
The EU cannot bear any more blood on its borders, or any more hypocrisy, nor can it continue to pretend that it does not see and tolerate the violation of the principles on which it is founded, for the sake of European immigration policy.
