I denne episode af vores podcast ser vi nærmere på den vedvarende migrationskrise i Europa. Den seneste spændte situation mellem Italien og Frankrig, hvor begge lande nægter at lade Ocean Viking lægge til langs deres kyster for at overføre uformelle migranter, som er blevet reddet ud for Libyens kyst, har bragt dette problem frem i lyset igen. Hvordan er situationen for den europæiske migrationspolitik nu? Hvad er der blevet af den europæiske solidaritet siden den hårde prøvelse under den syriske flygtningekrise i 2015? Hvordan kunne det gå til, at sårbare migranter nu er fanget i et retligt ingenmandsland?
Vi vil undersøge dette nærmere og søge svar sammen med José Antonio Moreno Díaz, medlem af Det Europæiske Økonomiske og Sociale Udvalgs Arbejdstagergruppe og advokat med speciale i migration og asyl, Louise Guillaumat, vicedriftsleder i SOS Méditerranée, som er den NGO, der driver Ocean Viking, og som vandt EØSU's civilsamfundspris i 2016, og Tomas Miglierina, korrespondent i Bruxelles for Swiss Broadcasting Corporation med speciale i migration.
