Motion text
From line 4 to 10:
denouncing the war, a wave of solidarity has risen in Europe, with thousands of European citizens mobilizedhaving mobilised to welcome and help the Ukrainian refugees, including through donations and the provision of accommodation.
Although this wave of solidarity is admirable and has helped hundreds of thousands, it sometimesis developed jointly with a problematic discourse: indeed, we have heard that this immigrationthese refugees would be of “quality”, and that our proximity with the Ukrainian people justified the welcoming efforts, as they are
Insert from line 15 to 16:
this can no more be the main discourse in the European media, as the FYEG has previously done, with the #NoDiscriminationOnMigration.
Furthermore, we must acknowledge the various marginalised groups made invisible and swept under the rug in our discourse on asylum. In the Ukrainian context alone, people of colour, immigrants, ethnic minorities and LGBTQIA+ refugees faced disproportionately high obstacles in fleeing. In the broader asylum context, systemic, systematic and social discrimination and obstacles are faced on the grounds of religion, beliefs, cultural and ethnic origin, gender and sexual orientation and identity, disability and class. The asylum system within Europe needs exhaustive and comprehensive reform in order to guarantee the right to asylum for all peoples.
From line 18 to 25:
European Greens calls on the European Union and the governments of all European States to:
To welcomeWelcome andhelpguarantee the right to asylum to all refugees, with special consideration to the extra obstacles faced by marginalised minorities whetherthey comefrom Ukraine orfromany other place in the world, and to accommodate for these obstacles.
To stopStop alldeportationpushbacks atbordersthe border as well as the deportation of those who have crossed the border, acknowledging the necessity of humanitarian duty instead of the construction of "Fortress Europe".
- Replace Frontex and the concept of “Fortress Europe” with a humanitarian alternative focused on saving and welcoming refugees.
To immediatelyImmediately stop the criminalizsation of people and non-governmental and civil society organisations devoted to welcoming and helping refugees and facilitating the movement of these peoples across international waters, and to finally supportthemthese organisations.
- Rather than the persecution of refugee traffickers, combat refugee trafficking by providing real and legal alternatives to traffickers for refugees to flee to the EU, especially for refugees fleeing conflicts, or refugees for whom the journey is too costly and dangerous.
- End as soon as possible EU refugee cooperation treaties with Turkey and Libya as well as the externalisation of the EU border regime via such treaties and the funding of autocratic regimes in Africa to stop migration corridors, which keep out refugees on the basis of their background and which put the most vulnerable refugees in even more dangerous situations.
- Facilitate and ensure the provision of basic rights and needs to those seeking asylum such as humane accommodation pending approval of their asylum process and Europe-wide coordinated processes to ensure asylum seekers are not left in limbo for years in camps.
- Continue this facilitation and guarantee of basic rights and needs upon having their application processed and the refugee relocated including but not limited to language, housing, humane temporary accommodation in facilities, right to work, healthcare and mental healthcare.
- Within the EU, implement an EU-wide framework truly based on the principles of solidarity and responsibility sharing for the shared funding, processing and relocation of asylum seekers and refugees, wherein the Dublin regulation is abolished, Member States with the most resources live up to their commitments to relocate refugees with an enforcement mechanism to ensure this, as well as mechanisms that provide funding for the processing of asylum seekers and coordinate the relocation of refugees in a manner that is finally fairly and justly divided between Member States based on their capacity.
