#The Route of Solidarity (TROS) – MANIFESTO
During the last year, under ‘The Route of Solidarity (TROS)’ project, volunteers, activists and human rights defenders, coming from Greece, Italy, Spain and Croatia met in Lesbos, Thessaloniki, Ceuta, Seville, Palermo, Rome, Zagreb and Pula, witnessing directly the situation at the European borders, exchanging practices and experiences of solidarity, as well as discussing European migration policies.
From the work of these meetings a document was drafted, addressing the EU Policy Makers
to rearrange the priorities of their agenda focusing on the respect, the defence and the guarantee of human rights for every human being.
The main points discussed in this MANIFESTO are:
– Stop the deaths in the Mediterranean sea, the violence at the borders and along the routes
– Stop the criminalization of solidarity
– Counteract hate speech by enforcing a positive narrative of coexistence
– Eliminate hotspots, make homes
– Stop deportations and illegal push backs
This is a calling for a change of the European migration policies in a way that will respect the fundamental European values in view of the next European election in May!
If you want to join us, you just have:
