"They die, these children, while Europe is responsible for the problem of immigration – that is to say the lives of thousands of people – and not to treat him with political dignity blames those who bring help or those who want a welcoming allying security and solidarity, "wrote Don Ciotti." We must counter this hemorrhage of humanity, this rampant cynicism fueled by the entrepreneurs of fear. Modern Europe is not that. Modern Europe is freedom, equality, fraternity. Let's stop on a Saturday, July 7, and we all wear a T-shirt, a red garment, like these kids. Because putting oneself in the shoes of others – starting with those of children, who are the legacy of humanity – is the first step towards building a more just world, where we can we recognize different and equal citizens.
