The drama of our century can be seen at the train station in Buchs SG. Refugees and migrants move from one country to another in search of security and a future.
The Dublin Agreement was actually intended to prevent asylum seekers from applying for recognition in several European countries. Buchs shows that the system has failed.
German politicians accuse Switzerland of simply smuggling people through to Germany and are calling for stricter border controls.
So much for symptom control.
People only leave the south for the north as long as the living conditions in their homeland are and remain devastating. Nobody just leaves home. People need security, co-determination and prosperity. Politicians call this migratory pressure. From the point of view of the refugees you can also call it hope.
The North should help to improve living conditions in the South. But he does the opposite: fish the African coasts empty, deprive poor countries of raw materials, pay for famine, tolerate child labour.
This journey will not end soon.
