For freedom of movement and the right to stay
Sozialforum  31. Januar
2005
European call to action for the 2nd of april 2005
Last year a European Day of Action against detention centers and for the
legalization of undocumented migrants was launched during the European Social
Forum in Paris. A call was subscribed to by many different networks and groups,
and on the 31st of January 2004 demonstrations and actions were held in more
than forty European cities. It was an important day in the development of a networking
process among migrants‚ struggles and activists on a European level.
This year we want to make a step forward. We propose to all European networks
and social movements to join in the organization of a second day of action, to
be held on April 2nd 2005, centered upon the claim for freedom of movement and
the right to stay as an alternative to the European constitutional process.
When we talk about the European constitutional process we think first of
all of its material dimension, that is of the way the integration process has
taken place concretely in the last years. A European citizenship is in the making,
and we must focus our analysis on the way the borders of this citizenship are
constructed and managed, both in their external and in their internal dimension.
Detention center for migrants have played and continue to play a key role in
this process. Although they have taken different shapes in different countries,
they are actually European institutions, within a unified framework which promoted
even an externalization process of camps beyond the ”external” borders
of the EU – from the Balkan to Libya and Marocco.
Camps are the dark symbol of a migration politics which is not simply aimed
at keeping refugees and migrants out of Europe, but rather at promoting a process
of selective inclusion, also through illegalization, of the migrants. This process
corresponds to the production of a hierarchy of rights as well as of legal and
political positions, that lies at the core of the material transformations of
citizenship in Europe and which is far from regarding only the migrants. And
it corresponds to a new model of labor force management centered upon precarization
and exploitation. The migrants are the subjects who experience in advance life
and labor conditions that the whole workforce, certainly with different degrees,
is beginning to experience in Europe. But on the other hand, their practices
of mobility express a set of claims and demands which at the level of everyday
life point to a different Europe. That is why we want to bring these interconnections
and demands inside the Euro-May Day process and therefore call for a strong participation
to the 1st of May 2005.
Freedom of movement is in this sense no ideological or merely rhetorical
claim. We believe that freedom of movement encompasses different struggles of
migration taking place every day throughout Europe: struggles for housing and
legalization, struggles against racism and camps, struggles on the workplace,
the struggles of women to free themselves from the patriarchal structure of their
original but also of their arrival places. The second day of action is intended
to stress the importance of these struggles and to provide a transnational framework
for the deepening and multiplication of their plurality. We invite all groups,
networks and social movements in Europe, not only the ones working on migration-related
issues, to join this call and to mobilize for April 2nd 2005. On the second day
of action we will emphasize the demands of the last year call. Demonstrations,
actions and struggles must take place everywhere in Europe on that day! |
