00:00:04,180 --> 00:00:05,200
In early 2021,

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,520
the journalist Lorenzo Tondo
wrote a piece in the Guardian

3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,080
explaining that migration routes
to the EU

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:12,240
would remain very
dangerous in 2021.

5
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,320
According to several NGOs
such as Médecins Sans Frontières,

6
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,640
due to increased arrivals
reception conditions

7
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:19,240
in Europe will not
be not improved.

8
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,040
In February, migrants filmed
their difficult journey

9
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,480
through the Balkans,
and Lorenzo Tondo himself had

10
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,320
already denounced
the violence

11
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,400
committed by the Croatian
police against migrants

12
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,160
arriving in Bosnia
and Herzegovina.

13
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:31,800
Meanwhile,
the journalist

14
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,680
Nikolaj Nielsen from EU Observer

15
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:34,800
explained in March how

16
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,800
the EU has shown itself to be
powerless to prevent or punish

17
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:39,200
the illegal refoulements
of migrants

18
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,560
in the Aegean Sea committed
by its Frontex agency.

19
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,240
For this reason, in March 2021,

20
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,480
the Council of Europe
stated that the EU had

21
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,720
failed to protect refugees
and migrants and asked the institutions

22
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:50,720
to change the
migration policy.

23
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:51,360
Unfortunately,

24
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,360
this news did not happen
in the distant past.

25
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,120
Migrants are continuing to put
themselves in danger

26
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:56,600
in an attempt
to reach Europe.

27
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:57,760
And you, what do you think

28
00:00:57,940 --> 00:00:59,707
about the politics of
migration in Europe?
