When last 14 December I read that the European Parliament voted against the extension of the agreement on fisheries between the European Union and Morocco sought directly from the great compliments Spanish racists on the subject. But, inexplicably, I have not found.

Throw in the thread:

EP says that the agreement leads to overexploitation, is illegal because it interferes with the Saharawi people's resources and is not profitable for the EU, you pay a very high rate to Morocco in exchange for very little fishing licenses (few, add, but that cause overexploitation).

By The Vanguard “requests the Commission to present as soon as a negotiating mandate for a future EU-Morocco fisheries agreement “that is sustainable economic, ecologically and socially. It also asks that the future pact Brussels fits the actual fishing opportunities from scientific studies and consultation with the fishermen. MEPs demanded that the agreement contributes to the development of fisheries in . On respect for the resources of the Western Sahara, resolution, agreed by popular, Socialists and Liberals, calls for respect “international law and the benefits of local population”.

The report of the IOM makes it clear: the only effective formula for returning migrants to their places of origin is to improve living conditions there. White and bottled, to speak.

“(…) Poland's example highlights the effects of the economic performance of a country of origin on return decisions of migrants. From 2008 was an increase in the number of Polish migrants returning, which probably reflects the fact that Poland is the only EU member that has not fallen into recession and continued economic growth”.

Thanks to a future more equitable fishing, therefore, the Mohamed ® Duran i Lleida or Cleries Councillor will return home is not great?

In the case of Morocco, however, There are still a final hurdle. Fisheries agreements (or any other) negotiated with a corrupt regime (muuuyyy corrupt).

And this is where problems come. The corrupt regime lease its territorial waters as if they were personal assets, oblivious to the needs of people. That's good for the “incorruptible” Europe as we are allowed to fish at our ease. However, the people, ruined, migrate to survive. And to get to Europe become the subject of electoral campaigning and political concerns of those same populists who signed fishing agreements with corrupt regimes unjust. We come to steal the work and identity… and we believe what we voted for them to continue signing agreements and filling the same, at the same time, hate our political discourse.

I Idan Toledano amigo, hodgepodge that knows a lot of racism and, sent me this amazing video where some Mexican children, located in front of a white doll and a black, respond to questions such “What is good and what is bad?”.

The comments received by the video on Youtube are diverse: there are those who doubt the worth of the study and there are those who accuse fathers and mothers of racist. You do not have the children come from families especially racist: messages are everywhere. From the cribs, since we are at Christmas, those children who present Jesus (Palestinian Jews) Beckham fairer, to Beyoncé clarified various shades in ads for L'Oreal. No doubt: ser blancx mola, is nicer, most prestigious… Kinder.

I leave, as an example, the report (disgusting) published a few weeks ago the magazine Hello on a Colombian matrons very proud of having known and having the city behind (they have) and the two colonial statues that are to be persons of flesh and blood. Here you have a photo. Breathe deep.

Today is 18 December, International Migrants Day. I'll mark transcribing a story that appears in the Amnesty International report “Stop racism, no people”.

It reads: “J. is a Bolivian citizen, has 8 years in Spain and is regularized. On Friday 2 July 2010, at about 6.30 pm, a plainclothes police officer who was conducting an identity check your partner stopped, C. -Bolivia but also regulate- in the subway station Usera (Madrid) and asked for documentation. Approximately 8 that night, J, pregnant 5 months, received a phone call from a police. He said his partner was in the police station and asked Aluche to bring him the passport. He did, but when asked to talk to C. the police officers told him they could not. He waited until 2 in the morning and went home. The next day J. returned to the station and again told him he could not see his partner and return the next day (Saturday) on visiting hours. But when the Sabbath was going to the police, received a phone call from C. “I was crying, I said 'are sending me home'. J. went to the airport of Barajas and there a policeman told him he would be expelled. “I told the police:'I have to say goodbye'. He said, 'You see many American fJlms'.

J. says that although a year has passed since the expulsion of his partner has not been able to forget that day. “The police forget that. But for him and for me it is a trauma that will never forget. Now I am alone with my son. I keep looking for work but with a child is difficult. I can not get sick, For what I do with my child?”

There you have it. Migration Happy.
