The European Network STOP Hate Crimes condemns the lack of humanity that has led to the humanitarian catastrophe that took place yesterday in Lampedusa, and that has caused the death of over 300 people, among whom there were children and pregnant. Human beings seeking for a better life in Europe.
The xenophobic hate speech that nowadays is very present in Italy and the rest of Europe, has been one of the causes that have led to this situation. We express our solidarity with the victims and demand the institutions to change their policies and discourse, to prevent a new catastrophe like Lampedusa’s.
