Over 700 immigrants drowned ...

More than 4,000 dead in the earthquake in Nepal ... Emergency due to Calbuco volcano eruption in Chile ... And the ineffective, unsupportive and complicit International Community

No, it is not with the present lack of solidarity how these tremendous challenges will be solved, mitigated or prevented.  They urgently require joint efforts, with a detailed preparation in order to act quickly, effectively... and timely!

The solution of the terrible and lethal problem of desperate emigrants, dying of hunger and abandonment... will be not solved with meetings of the European leaders. It is not preventing them from entering but facilitating them to live with dignity in their hometowns. This was considered at the United Nations some decades ago, establishing the great United Nations Program for Development (UNDP) whose purpose was precisely to promote endogenous development which would benefit both natives and foreigners. But international cooperation became exploitation and aid was substituted by loans granted under draconian conditions. Later, the neoliberalism substituted the United Nations by groups of the most prosperous countries on earth (G-6, G-7, G-8 ... G20) and were the "markets" rather than the Nation-States that took the reins of common destiny in hand.

No, this is not how we should proceed. It is not what we owe to our brothers who suffer these immense tragedies. It is rebuilding the ethical principles and fully exercising the responsibilities of all worlds’ citizens and their representatives in governments, refounding a multilateralism able to act with great determination and efficiency, that the world could transit through the paths of a new era.

If a “turning point” is not quickly promoted in current trends, the social inequalities and shamelessness will not only increase but the own habitability of the Earth will be harmed with a total intergenerational irresponsibility. It is this and not another "welfare" that should worry us. We live blinded by the immediacy and now it is time to take off for a flight towards the future that our descendents fully deserve.

There are many things that cannot be accepted to continue as "unavoidable". It cannot be to lack the mechanisms to enable prompt implementation of international law; it cannot be tolerated the impunity of the traffickers of all kinds ; it cannot be that less than one hundred people possess a richness higher than half of humanity; it cannot be that large economic consortiums are who decide instead of democratic governments ...

No, it cannot be that in Nepal the international assistance should be improvised with admirable and heroic people who show their solidarity in such an extent of extraordinary heroism when, as has been proposed repeatedly, should exist within a refounded United Nations, a global center of coordination of local and regional institutions specifically prepared to act on different natural disasters (earthquakes, floods, etc.) or man-made, so the kind of assistance and attention is reached, with the modern technology, rapidly and efficiently.

No, it cannot be that when so many human beings (80% of humanity in a progressive gradient of scarcities) live on minimum conditions for a decent life, huge amounts in arms and military expenditures continue to be invested.

I insist on it, because it is an everyday stimulus for me. It is unacceptable that millions of dollars are daily invested on security of the most prosperous when thousands of persons are dying of hunger.

Ladies and gentlemen representatives of the various European States: reflect and quickly change the current lines of action. Otherwise, it is not foreseeable that the citizens, who can now speak freely, keep distracted and obedient.

Immigration: the solution is in the sustainable, human and endogenous development

What terrible things we are consenting!

The "democratic" Europe, Europe of the human rights -described in 2000 in one of the most precise and precious “Charters”- the “developed” and prosperous Europe ... looking the other way. Europe that a few years ago was an example of cooperation, solidarity, support ... is now reticent, even reaching xenophobia. The Europe of the markets has forgotten the "democratic principles" that were so lucidly enshrined in the Constitution of UNESCO at the end of the great Second War.

The Europe of tax havens, of short-termism, of production delocalization, of greed of the wealthiest ... and, close to it, obedient countries that a few years ago seemed  to understand that the refoundation of a multilateral democratic System was crucial... but finally they knelt down under the immense pressure of the great neoliberal powers.

Spain, which caused so much immigration in times of the Real Estate "bubble" (without regularization by those who considered it only as “workforce”)  has the bright idea now of placing sharper objects on fences! And ask for 45 million Euros to Europe to raise them and make them more hurtful and inaccessible with the “razor wires”.

This is not the solution. The solution is development; a great development plan. I remember those years when the United Nations program for development, with the words "com-partir (to  share)" and "co-operate", expected that the world could progressively achieve a peaceful coexistence focused on the equal dignity for all human beings

The World Bank has a surname:  “for cooperation and development”.  But everything changed and cooperation was replaced by exploitation and democracy by plutocracy, ethical values by stock-markets and an economy of global sustainable human development by an economy of speculation, productive delocalization and war (I never tire repeating that every day more than 3 billion dollars are spent on weapons and military expenditure while there are thousands of people starving, most of them children from one to five years).

Look into the eyes of those who manage to "jump" into Europe through Ceuta and Melilla. Or to those trying to enter through Lampedusa ... They are not people who have chosen , in the present world situation, “to take a trip across Europe”. If they try to access the EU is because they are starving, because they live in extreme poverty, because they survive in inhuman conditions.

Minister: do not ask 45 million Euros to close even more entries. Spain and the most prosperous countries of Europe must give development aid up to "all human beings equal in dignity" in order not being forced to leave their country. Oh, and do not say "it is because there is no money"! It was already said by the richest of the Earth in 2000, when the United Nations proposed the Millennium Development Goals. "There is no money." There was no money for AIDS (8,000 million dollars a year, the same amount spent on weapons in 2-3 days).  There was no money for a wide world food plan (40-60 billion dollars, which is invested in half a month, as maximum, in security ...of 20% of humanity that is living in the prosperous neighborhood of global village).

If it is true that, as just announced OXFAM, 85 persons accumulate wealth at the equivalent of half of humanity (3,300 million of human beings) ... there is no doubt that the solution is not asking for 45 million Euros but strengthen the means of peaceful coexistence worldwide. Give up at once the ridiculous groups G6, G7, G8, G20 ... and join, unite all States, especially those who still have some democratic conviction, to offer less somber horizons to all young people of the world.

I also recommend reading the Earth Charter, the Preamble and Article 1 of the Constitution of UNESCO ... instead of trusting solely on the reports of economic institutions, and especially of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, that has removed the reference to development from its "surname".

Especially when they have given millions of Euros for the bank recover, and because  at the beginning they built Europe through the roof, with a monetary Union without previous economic and political union, inequalities widen rather than reducing.

The xenophobic Europe which does not implement its excellent Chart of Human Rights of year 2000 and does not provide relevant development grants, should not have the symbol in Spain of “razor fences” but the promotion of human development, starting with those countries living in absolute hopelessness.
