Ova epizoda našeg podcasta bavi se kontinuiranom migracijskom krizom u Europi. Zbog razmirica između Italije i Francuske, nastalih kada su obje zemlje odbile dopustiti brodu Ocean Viking da pristane na njihovu obalu kako bi se iskrcali migranti spašeni pred obalom Libije, ovo pitanje ponovno se našlo u prvom planu. Gdje se sada nalazi europska migracijska politika? Što se dogodilo s europskom solidarnošću nakon velikih iskušenja s kojima smo se susreli tijekom sirijske izbjegličke krize 2015. godine? Kako su se ugroženi migranti našli u pravnoj „ničijoj zemlji”?
Tom pitanju i odgovorima na njega posvetit ćemo se zajedno s Joséom Antoniom Morenom Díazom, članom Skupine radnika Europskog gospodarskog i socijalnog odbora i odvjetnikom specijaliziranim za migracije i azil, Louise Guillaumat, zamjenicom voditelja operacija pri SOS Méditerranée, nevladinoj organizaciji koja upravlja brodom Ocean Viking i koja je 2016. dobila nagradu EGSO-a za civilno društvo, i Tomasom Miglierinom, dopisnikom za Švicarsku radioteleviziju u Bruxellesu, specijaliziranim za migracije.
