Today's Headlines

 

These are the headlines of newspaper articles which deal with three simultaneous sinking .I would like to react about it.

140 clandestine immigrants die by drowning at  the doors of the European Union

Lots of immigrants die by drowning every year because boats aren’t sure and can sink easily.These immigrants live from their countries because there are wars and they live in excessive poverty. Getting a seat on small boats costs a lot for them : lots of them don't have enough to live decently and they give everything they have to buy these seats.

Smugglers tell them they can live better when they are on the European Union territory.The day when immigrants leave from their countries, they load inside boats and go away...Some can cross the borders but lots of them are arrested and expelled or worse,they die by drowing.Then the authorities recover drowned bodies and these people don’t have funerals which they should have.

If the Governments of these immigrants’countries did their job, their citizens wouldn’t want to leave. Now, to me, the authorites keep an eye on their borders but if you want to go through and live a better life, you can.

As anywhere else in the world, people die because they want to live a better life...
To me, these immigrants come to Europe because it represents wealth and the people who live there look wealthier than them so they think they could live better in France, Spain, Italy ...but they don't know that lots of people live in bad  living conditions in Europe. However, they can live here if they find a job, a place to live, ...unfortunately, the authorities watch the borders closely.

Current Events

Colonel Kadhafi’s visit comes under fire ! A lot of politicians think Mr.Kadhafi’s visit is an insult to Human Rights, because he arrived during the 59^th anniversary of this event. Let us not forget that Mr. Sarkozy said in July: “If you liberate Bulgarian nurses, you could visit Paris, with me ”. There weren’t any  protest. Now, Mr. Sarkozy keeps his promise and yet, opposition condemn this proposal. Even in the government, Sarkozy comes under pressure. The junior minister for Human Rights, Rama Yade said : “Colonel Kadhafi must understand ; France isn’t a doormat where a statesman, terrorist or not, can come to wipe his feet from the blood of his crimes. France mustn’t greet this kiss of death.”

Nicolas Sarkozy’s Congratulations towards Vladimir Poutine

   



According to Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor, the ruling party’s reelection (Vladimir Poutine’s party) calls up sleaze. It’s a ballot rigging : Russia isn’t a democratic country. However, Kremlin claims that  Nicolas Sarkozy called the Russian President to congratulate him for this event. This new, very controversial, wasn’t confirmed by the French presidency. Is the incumbent president a dictator? Is his regime a dictatorship? According to the U.S.A, Germany, England, probably it is.
