José Enrique Monrosi said he considers it “frivolous” to think that we are going to mitigate the humanitarian drama of the people who comes on the runour country concluding economic agreements with Mauritania, Senegal or Gambia so that “the workers come“.
The journalist stressed that this measure will not prevent people fleeing war from stopping doing so. He therefore indicated that we must ask ourselves why they come here.“They don’t do it for tourism or for the attraction effect.”he assured.
Monrosi stressed that people “are dying by the thousands” in the Mediterranean, fleeing the complicated situation they are experiencing in their countries of origin. He thus stressed that it is important to ask ourselves whether we are doing everything possible to “give them decent treatment” and whether we respond to asylum applications in a timely manner.
“We have to see if we can do something more so that they don’t have to flee their country,” he said, stressing that this is not a problem that will be solved by building higher walls.
