I could give so many shocking reports today.
Reports that punish the European Commission, parliamentarians of the respective member states, such as the Austrian MP Dr. Gudrun Kugler "ignorance, cover-up, lies", I don't know what.
They tell European and Austrian citizens that everything is better now, that those entitled to asylum in Greece are just as well off as the Greeks.
"How can you verify this? I would like to have proof of this, but please not from those who have no idea, or who live in a world of their own, drinking champagne as they ring in the weekend and rejoicing in what herd animals "their" citizens are.
Always following behind and eating everything.
Please get reports from competent people on the ground, although this is becoming difficult.
I meet a family man living in 3 small igloo tents with his wife and 3 children in a camp where everyone is parked (pardon the expression).
In blazing sun!
Status: Asylum
Reality: no money for months, not registered in any camp, now living "illegally" in one, tolerated, because where else would he go with his children. In Greece, you only get money if you have a registration form/apartment. In the camps on the islands, where most people come from, there are no Greek courses. Logically, there weren't even warm showers on Lesbos 3 months ago.
No Greek, no job, no job, no flat, no flat, no job.
Of course, all this is a long way from one's own world when one is going on a political summer break, booking summer holidays with the whole family and the party's social media team is working hard so that the Austrians don't get the idea in the meantime to develop compassion for those who are forgotten, politically sold here in misery, who have to endure this outrageous injustice. No justice, not to mention mercy!
We distributed food vouchers today, €30 each. This is not really satisfying, although every single one (we only distributed to single women) is totally happy. But how many have to stay behind?
Sadeq, who is translating for us again today, knows exactly what I am talking about when I philosophise with him about it.
As always in such situations, I ask Fayad for advice, he is the one who works out the fairest distributions.
I am confident that he will come up with something.
The older woman from Afghanistan, Beautiful face, gentle, calm manner.
She tells me her story.
Is here with her daughter, 17, lost her husband and two sons in Turkey.
A family from Afghanistan who set out after several attacks on them. They could not have known that in Turkey they would lose their family. To this day, she does not know where her husband and sons are. A mother, flesh and blood, with her heart.
Her life is destroyed.
She also did not know that the "attacks" on people, here in Europe, are on a different level.
They are maltreated, tortured, deprived of their rights, Christian socialists then legitimise this horror, this violation of human rights.
They could not have known that "foreign" human life and rights do not count much more here than in their home country/Afghanistan.
Now she is here, broken, dragging herself through life because she loves her daughter so much and wants to cause her little worry.
My heart is extremely sad today.
Also because of those who thought "goodbye island", finally in dreamed freedom. Now they have landed in this "hell"!
And again and again I ask the question, also to the Minister of the Interior Karl Nehammer, because he emphasises the good relations with the Greek Minister:
"Where are the billions that Greece has received from the #EU, from us taxpayers, so to speak, for the accommodation of protection seekers? Why such inhumane conditions, which I tend to say almost border on psychological torture? Do you actually know how much this drives people into some form of insanity? As a former policeman you should know that.
If people were then broken, the judge can start the trial, Moria6 with "So here sit the arsonists of Moria" and the proud right-wing populists can shout: "in Austria no place for "kri.....(you know) "migrants (which is also wrong when you know how many of the people get asylum, i.e. were protection seekers and are now entitled to asylum)
So where are all our billions of taxpayers' money so that we don't have to torture people psychologically in order to give them their/our human rights?
I ask this not only of the People's Party, but also of The Greens, who are so keen to take on government responsibilities. Thank you for all your answers.
Maybe all of you Sigi Maurer, August Wöginger, Andreas Hanger, Michel Reimon etc spend your holidays in the south, take a trip to Athens to exclude the phrase "for they know not what they do".
And just because people are locked up in the middle of nowhere, usually next to a rubbish dump, or "in the middle of nowhere", and concrete walls are built around them, the violation of human rights becomes neither smaller nor more legal!
