Claude Calame: «The EU is guilty of a crime against humanity».»

Claude Calame from Lausanne observes the current migration situation with revulsion and despair. For this Hellenist and anthropologist, member of SOS-Asile and activist with the left-wing anti-capitalist SolidaritéS party, it's important to remember that exiles are first and foremost human beings - men, women, children and sometimes even newborn babies. This is something that political decision-makers forget, leading them to take restrictive measures that deny migrants their dignity. In all this, Switzerland says nothing. Worse, it supports them: by applying the Schengen-Dublin agreements in an extremely restrictive way, or by increasing its funding for Frontex, for example. As for development cooperation strategies based on public-private partnerships with multinationals, they take the problem by the scruff of the neck.
