Dans cet épisode, nous nous pencherons sur la crise migratoire en cours en Europe. Le récent accrochage entre la France et l’Italie, qui refusaient toutes deux d’autoriser l’Ocean Viking à accoster sur leur territoire pour permettre le débarquement d’immigrants irréguliers ayant bénéficié d’un sauvetage au large des côtes libyennes, a remis la question sur le devant de la scène. Où en est exactement la politique migratoire européenne aujourd’hui? Qu’en est-il de la solidarité européenne, déjà mise à mal par l’épreuve de la crise des réfugiés syriens en 2015? Comment des migrants vulnérables se sont-ils retrouvés piégés dans un no man’s land juridique?
Nous chercherons des réponses à ces questions avec José Antonio Moreno Díaz, membre du groupe des travailleurs du Comité économique et social européen et avocat spécialisé dans le droit de l’immigration et de l’asile, Louise Guillaumat, directrice adjointe des opérations chez SOS Méditerranée, ONG lauréate du prix de la société civile du CESE qui affrète l’Ocean Viking, et Tomas Miglierina, correspondant à Bruxelles de la Société suisse de radiodiffusion et spécialiste des migrations.
