We call for a new Pact that addresses the reality of migrants’ movements, the systemic conditions leading people to flee their homes as well as the root causes of Europe’s racism. See Part One.
The EU Commission’s proposal for a ‘New Pact for Migration and Asylum’ offers no prospect of ending the enduring mobility conflict, opposing the movements of illegalised migrants to the EU’s restrictive migration policies.
Only a more open policy of migration would neither threaten migrants nor European citizens. To
foster such a policy, the Mediterranean mobility conflict must be addressed.
