Essay fragment for Human Rights by Oana Maroti
Even if in Barcelona there are mural flying carpets over your head, in historical places, like El Pasaje de la Paz, and there is a long immigration practice over here, the Strategy of Inclusion is shaking.
At the start of each season, immigration centers close, and people are left to manage and survive. In this very moment, a walk in the beach area, and surroundings, or a longer walk through the city will reveal an even more grotesque reality than it was until recently. The town is full of people sleeping on the streets. The majority are waiting for the papers, and cannot move or do anything to force the slow bureaucracy. They are simply left in a waiting mode, for years, months, to manage without basic needs fulfilled. As food does not jump on your throat, nor does it fall from the sky, from the start, such a type of institutional non-coordination puts people´s lives in danger.
Therefore, the very system of so-called support has a dangerous dynamic, and it´s dangerous for all involved. From a strategic point of view, group calculation is the worst thing to do and cannot be considered problem-solving, as it´s against the very basic principles of human rights or any type of spirituality.
Every time the immigrants are thrown out without sense, given that no decent alternative is proposed to them, and in the process, they lose everything they have and come to no longer be able to communicate, broken phones, papers thrown in the trash, basic survival utensils, everything is lost. However, they will be forced to buy the same things several times, and there is a 2nd hand market of scammers taking advantage of the situation. Evictions, scammers, and human trafficking go hand in hand.
