Letter from the President of Bolivia, Evo Morales, on the EU immigration policy

This petition was published by Amancay Colque on Jun 10, 2008

In the name of the people of Bolivia, of all of my brothers on the continent and regions of the world like the Maghreb and the countries of Africa, I appeal to the conscience of the European leaders and European MEPs, of the people, citizens and European activists, for them not to approve the text of the “Return Directive”. As it is today, it is a directive of shame. I also call on the European Union to elaborate, over the next months, a migration policy that is respectful of human rights, which allows us to maintain this dynamics that is helpful to both continents and that repairs once and for all the tremendous historic debt, both economic and ecological that the European countries owe to a large part of the Third World, and to close once and for all the open veins of Latin America. They cannot fail today in their “policies of integration” as they have failed with their supposed “civilizing mission” in colonial times.

Receive all of you, authorities, Euro parliamentarians, brothers and sisters, fraternal greetings from Bolivia. And in particular our solidarity to all of the “clandestinos”.

Signed: Evo Morales Ayma
President of the Republic of Bolivia
