erasmusThe Erasmusgracht was contacted by Italian borderguards on the 5th of december at 4pm concerning a boat in distress which was detected by a (Frontex?) plane. Some 3 other boats were also in the region. The Erasmusgracht was the first in action sailing to the location and arrived at 18h.

According to transport company Spliethoff, with which Erasmusgracht sails, each ship should comply with a distress call, but that does not happen always. A spokesman for the ship’s owner, shipping company Spliethoff, told the dutch national broadcaster NOS a German merchant ship had refused to help the migrants and sailed away.

The images dissolve, match and mismatch, across continents and time zones, St. Louis, New York, Athens: police violence, protests, blazing cars; men in suits; sleeping bags laid out on rainy streets at night. We are experts now at fragments. Here and there a glitch in the matrix forces a connection.

Athens 5 December 2014

It continues to the bitter end, in front of Greek Parliament the garrison and the hunger strike of three hundred Syrians, mostly families with small children , who claim the right to be welcomed in dignity and demand the possibility to leave Greece and reach another European country .

This is a protest that highlights all the negative effects of the Dublin Regulation III, nailing in the first country of entry all the potential asylum seekers ,at the point that many of them prefer to be rejected at the border, or to continue the journey placing themselves in the hands of “land-smugglers „, fueling the business of illegal immigration , rather than be forced to release the fingerprints in a country like Greece , which cannot be defined „safe “ for asylum seekers for the systematic shortcomings of its reception centers and for non-performance of the full-blown European Directives and Regulations relating to international protection .

From 19/11 a big struggel and hunger strike (24/11) of Syrian Refugees started in the center of Athens infront of the Greek Parlement demanding asylum in EU and protection in general (housing, medical care ext).

The last few days we created a solidarity assembly and movement to support them and becuase they demond a very important thing which is the right to freedom of movment and the responsibality of EU to protact at least the war refugees so I think its important issue. Most of the syrians they dont want to stay in Greece as first Eu country and they dont want to aplly for asylum here so they are in very bad condition mostly homeless in the parks and squires, and  there should be another solution for them, in Greece you if dont have asylum or if you dont aplly for asylum you will not have any right to anything.
