Doors open / closed doors: refugees show

Abstract

In this editorial comment, we take a position on the so called crisis of the refugees . First, there are issues that need to be clarified such as the impact of the arrival of refugees to the European environment. This fact highlights the crisis of the European project. We consider the important and porous distinction, not always clear, but necessary, between refugees (in humanitarian sense) and immigrants (in the economic sense) to be necessary to highlight the fundamental aspects which are at stake during these crises . On the one hand, the crisis of impoverished countries which suffer from the consequences of wars, famines, dictatorial governments, overexploitation and hoarding of funds by economic or political powers foreign to their villages; on the other hand, the crisis of values and principles that reveals this humanitarian demographic problem in Europe. Our position, besides being a self critical look at reality, intends to propose clear commitments to action efficient reception policies to integrate refugees that respect human rights and that are sustainable in European societies and which are based on critical thoughts on the ethical paradigms of performance, the more acceptable and the most problematic.
