"Mr President, obviously, everyone is concerned about what is happening in Ceuta and Melilla. In Tijuana or in Brindisi, in Lampedusa or Ceuta, women and men in this world of ours are now on the move. Naturally, our Spanish friends or my Moroccan friends cannot by themselves resolve this problem which, at present, has a global and not only European dimension. As long as men and women are thirsty and hungry, they will start walking, however high the barbed wire fences are built.
What, then, can be done? The fact is, a four-square model of humanitarianism needs now to be proclaimed. That is to say, food, water, medicines and vaccines, as well as education, need to be global public goods. This is no longer simply a European matter, but a global one. It is now no longer a question of pooling coal and steel, as in 1950. It is a question of sharing water, vaccines, food and education globally. The day that that happens, the people of our planet will no longer need to pass beyond Gibraltar or to cross the Sahara or Arizona deserts or the Rio Grande."@en1
