Le Piège de Sangatte
A few miles from Calais, on the outskirts of the village of Sangatte, dozens of illegal immigrants pace a sandy beach from where, on clear days, they can see the English coast. They dream of a new promised land after having left everything behind them and they are ready to take any risk to get there. The plight of these this new kind of emigrant who flees his homeland –more out of despair at the absence of prospects in their lives than out of misery– is not limited to the images distilled regularly to a virtually total indifference by the Western press and media. The spectacle of their wanderings is now beneath our very windows. Their distress is palpable and the hypocrisy of Europe - which, even as it refers officially to the Geneva Conventions that created the right to asylum, seeks to shore up the new migration flow - cannot no longer be concealed.
