Well I am in Spain since more than a month now and I wasn't not worried a lot about what was happening in the world since this time... Now that I am better used of living in Spain, I am trying to catch back what I missed. Lucie's post on the "solidarity offence" which is a subject making a big buzz on the web is very interesting. There is a struggle between the minister and associations like Gisti ( support group for migrant workers), the governement says that the "solidarity offence" doesn't exist and is a creation of the GISTI but the fact is that many people have been prosecuted since two decades for feeding, helping, migrants even if they are not identified has "smugglers" or members of a migrant smugglers group which is a criminal action. It's really funny to see how M. Eric BESSON reacts when scenarios are proposed to him and it shows us how hypocritical our governement is in his way of giving informations to us. Associaions which are created to help civil society to have little power in front of political decisions are now qualified as liars even if our governements might be really happy to see them working directly with migrants, I think that associations are today service providers for the State in fields in which he doesn't to invest time and money but today we are facing problems which are contrary to our motto as Lucie said and I am proud to see people fighting against what is happening and saying that our minister is a liar !!
Everything's going so fast in one month the world faced earthquakes, a new law to fight against illegal downloadings:HADOPI, a pandemy warning, no good news about the end of the economical crisis...
In Southern Spain, the situation with migrant workers is not better than in France. For example, I found out why in France we were able to buy strawberries in the middle of February. Guess what in Andalucia, you can find out plenty of greenhouses all over the countryside and who works in greenhouses : migrants of course !! This year many of them were touched by skin or bretahing problems due to the amount of chemical fertilizers and pesticides used to grow nice strawberries in winter. So I just decide that next year I won't eat strawberries coming from Spain in the middle of winter, not in regard of the pollution created by trucks to transport the fruits but in regard of the migrants who are wasting their skin and lungs in exchange of a little money and still no way of sorting out !!
Well I am now trying to understand what HADOPI law really is and I am going to write and article about it tonight or tomorrow, but this law seems really weird...
