Scores
of desperate people drowned today at sea, when trying to cross the Mediterranean
and enter the EU illegally. This is a recurrent drama that hardly gets the
attention of the European public opinion. It´s no longer news, in many ways.
And because it is not in the headlines any more, there is no real political
attention that is given to the matter. Mass illegal immigration across the
Mediterranean Sea, a daily occurrence, and the human tragedies associated with
it, has become politically invisible. It is a major problem, it would require a
clear-cut approach, but our leaders feel content the question is not burning on
their desks.
That´s
the way leadership is practised at present in our corner of the Earth.
