We are already used to the majority in Parliament approving resolutions without legislative consequences, with content that runs counter to the legislative resolutions it adopts. This propensity is on the increase as the elections to Parliament draw nearer.
We are faced with an example of these ‘two faces’, the true one and its mask, in this case the latter.
There is no doubt that – and we have consistently maintained this for a long time – it is necessary to guarantee the rights of asylum seekers in terms of their reception, access to information and right to interpretation, free legal aid, healthcare and employment.
It is certainly important to condemn the increase in the number of persons detained within the Dublin System, with the near-routine use of detention measures and limitations on access to reception standards.
It is also necessary, however, to demand the end of detention centres and to reject a Community policy that establishes, by means of the lowest common denominator, reception standards and the procedure for granting asylum.
If Parliament is genuinely concerned about respect for the rights of immigrants and asylum seekers, then it should not have approved the ‘Return’ Directive (which criminalises immigrants and expels them), the ‘Blue Card’ Directive (which selects them) and the ‘Employers’ Sanctions’ Directive (which also punishes the workers), which the Portuguese Communist Party rejected."@en1
