As we "celebrate" World Refugee Day on June 20, 2017, thus paying tribute to those of us who have been or are being forced into exile, towards Europe, in particular, political and media debates on the topic of migration continue inexorably in Europe…
Europe and migration, migration to Europe… Actually, what are we (as in the media, politicians, "experts") talking about? Does Europe have such a strong appeal to those going into "exile", or does Europe (which Europe?) have a tendency to exaggerate its appeal somewhat, claiming to be the flagship destination of choice, on this side of the ocean or sea, according to "tour operators" promoting it as an attractive place for exiles?
There is little or no memory that remains of our past, of our previous migrations; how will future events be remembered? Will they too not leave any trace?
