Diecimila miglia lontani dal proprio paese, dai propri affetti, dalle proprie radici è il titolo del volume fotografico che l'associazione Mappamondo ha affidato per la sua realizzazione a Beppe Ameglio che con l'utilizzo attento del colore e della luce ha saputo presentare, in più di cento immagini, il racconto e le testimonianze delle persone migranti.Tra le immagini del lavoro con i migranti troviamo anche la “brigata cucina” della chiesa valdese di Sanremo che si occupa di preparare pasti per le persone che stazionano al confine tra Italia e Francia a Ventimiglia. Abbiamo intervistato Beppe Ameglio e Mirosa Dellagiovan na in Voce delle Chiese, per farci raccontare com'è nata l'idea del libro e com'è stata sviluppata. "Ci sono ritratti di persone e foto di luoghi - spiega Beppe - Il confine italofrancese a Ventimiglia è uno dei confini "obbligati" per le persone che vogliono proseguire il viaggio in altri luoghi d'Europa, verso il Nord. Nel libro ho cercato di mantenere la dignità dei soggetti, fotografando non solo chi non ce l'ha fatta, ma anche chi ce l'ha fatta, perché ci sono persone che hanno trovato un lavoro e un futuro qui". ll ricavato delle vendite del libro servirà a sostenere le attività di Mappamondo e Casa Africa sul territorio.

The film launched Alfred Hitchcock's career. ***SPOILER ALERT*** We do talk about this movie in its entirety, so if you plan on watching it, we suggest you watch it before listening to our takes. Details: A Gainsborough Picture released on February 14, 1927. Produced by Michael Balcon, Carlyle Blackwell, and C. M. Woolf.

“Il tema legato all’idrogeno è strettamente collegato a tutta la filiera del settore, innanzitutto occorre che l’idrogeno venga ottenuto in modo sostenibile, quindi idrogeno prodotto da fonti rinnovabili o con la cattura della Co2, e poi c’è la questione, ancora molto critica, delle infrastrutture di rifornimento, oggi in Italia ne esiste solo una, a Bolzano”, dice Luigi Crema, direttore del Centro Sustainable Energy della Fondazione Bruno Kessler, e presidente di Hydrogen Europe Research (HER), la più importante organizzazione europea di ricerca nel campo dell’idrogeno.Dopo la pausa estiva sulla rete autostradale ligure riaprono i cantieri e tornano i disagi, pesantissimi, per le imprese di autotrasporto e gli autisti. “La situazione è difficilissima, tempi di percorrenza allungati, fatturati delle aziende giù, autisti che si licenziano perché stressati dalle code, poi con la chiusura del Traforo del Monte Bianco ancora più traffico pesante tra Genova e Ventimiglia”, denuncia Antonio Marzo, presidente di Confartigianato Trasporto Imperia.

Da qualche anno è attiva nella zona del ponente ligure, tra Sanremo e Ventimiglia, la “Brigata Cucina”: un variegato gruppo di volontari e volontarie, membri non solo delle chiese valdesi del ponente ligure, ma anche di diverse associazioni attive sul territorio negli ambiti dell'accoglienza e dell'integrazione. La "Brigata Cucina" interagisce con la chiesa valdese per l'uso della cucina, per le donazioni ricevute e anche per la partecipazione di diversi membri di chiesa. Ogni mese la chiesa valdese di Sanremo mette a disposizione la cucina e gli strumenti necessari per la preparazione dei pasti e offre una somma dal fondo diaconia.Ne parliamo con David Terino, volontario e membro della Chiesa Valdese plurisede di Sanremo - Bordighera - Vallecrosia.

PALERMO (ITALPRESS) - “Gli immigrati regolari sono un valore aggiunto, il mio problema sono i clandestini, a Palermo come a Milano. Io rischio il carcere per avere bloccato gli sbarchi dei clandestini, da ministro ho garantito il flusso di immigrati regolari che servono, le persone perbene sono sempre benvenute. Il problema sono i troppi clandestini che sono entrati in passato con i governi di tutti i colori politici". Così il vicepremier Matteo Salvini a margine dell'incontro con cittadini e simpatizzanti della Lega, a Palermo, a Villa Airoldi, commentando le parole del governatore di Bankitalia, Fabio Panetta. “Una delle mie critiche all'Europa è che non ha mai mosso un dito per aiutarci a difendere i confini”, aggiunge. “A Lampedusa, Ventimiglia o Trieste nessuno si è accorto della presenza europea a difendere i confini italiani - prosegue -. Il problema non è il governo Meloni, ma la mancanza di volontà di Bruxelles, la Von der Leyen se n'è sempre fregata, è venuta in gita a Lampedusa come tanti turisti, peccato che lei non sia una turista, lei abbia qualche potere in più rispetto al turista che viene a Lampedusa”, sottolinea Salvini. xd6/vbo/gtr

Il Consiglio dei ministri di lunedì 16 ottobre ha approvato il disegno di legge di bilancio. Le risorse a disposizione, al momento, saranno poco meno di 24 miliardi di euro. Giorgia Meloni e Giancarlo Giorgetti hanno portato sul tavolo del Consiglio dei ministri la seconda manovra del governo di centrodestra che rinvia i progetti di riforma a tempi migliori, tolto l'avvio della nuova Irpef. Che favorirà, come il taglio del cuneo, soprattutto i redditi medio-bassi. Diverse le misure annunciate in conferenza stampa anche dai ministri Matteo Salvini e Giancarlo Giorgetti: dai nidi gratis a partire dal secondo figlio al taglio del canone Rai. Quello che emerge è però che si tratta di un momento complesso e bisogna essere «seri, prudenti e responsabili» il messaggio che la stessa premier ha dato anche all'opinione pubblica in conferenza stampa dopo il Cdm. «Il quadro è chiaramente abbastanza complesso: noi nel 2024 avremo circa 13 miliardi euro di maggiori interessi sul debito, da pagare in forza delle decisioni assunte dalla Bce, e circa 20 di superbonus. L'aumento dei tassi e il Superbonus fanno complessivamente più della manovra di bilancio», ha evidenziato la premier. Per tutta la domenica si è lavorato per chiudere almeno le linee generali e le macro voci che andranno inviate a Bruxelles con il Draft Budgetary Plan, che contiene l ossatura della manovra. Nella consapevolezza che comunque serviranno tempi supplementari, come accade ogni anno, per limare l'articolato vero e proprio della legge di Bilancio da inviare alle Camere. In Senato, da dove partirà l'iter parlamentare, non si aspettano il ddl prima del 26-27 di ottobre ma c è chi scommette che arriverà dopo il ponte di Ognissanti. Ne parliamo con Gianni Trovati, Sole 24 Ore.Chiude il traforo del Monte Bianco. Panico traffico da Torino al FrejusChiude da oggi per due mesi il traforo del Monte Bianco. Il blocco durerà fino al 18 dicembre. Ad aggiungersi a questo il tunnel ferroviario del Frejus resterà chiuso fino alla primavera del 2024 in seguito alla frana in Maurienne dello scorso agosto, che per qualche tempo aveva comportato anche la chiusura del tunnel stradale. Insomma il Frejus diventa da oggi passaggio obbligato per le merci dirette in Francia e per quelle in arrivo in Italia, se si escludono Ventimiglia e i valichi minori, che chiudono in autunno e inverno, oltre ad essere su strade adatte al turismo e non ai mezzi pesanti. Si calcolano 1800 i tir in più al giorno ed un totale di 3000 veicoli che si riverseranno tra Torino e Bardonecchia, non potendo più transitare dal traforo del Monte Bianco. Per alleviare il problema è stato deciso il rinvio di tutti i cantieri in Valsusa, sulla Torino - Bardonecchia e in tangenziale fino al 2024. E, in caso di chiusura parziale o totale dell'A32 le due statali valsusine SS24 e SS25 saranno usate come viabilità alternativa. Ipotesi questa che fa rabbrividire automobilisti e camionisti. Secondo le stime di Confindustria Valle d'Aosta la chiusura per tre mesi del Bianco equivale ad un calo dello 0,3% del Pil del Nord Ovest. Fai Contrasporto rilancia l'allarme il presidente, Paolo Uggè, fa sapere che "Con le difficoltà ai valichi, dal Brennero al Fejus, è in gioco l'economia italiana, oltre alla sopravvivenza di moltissime imprese del settore". Approfondiamo il tema con Paolo Uggè, Presidente di FAI-Conftrasporto.Tim, arrivata l’offerta non vincolante per la rete da parte di KkrIl comunicato di Tim, atteso prima dell’apertura delle contrattazioni a Piazza Affari, è arrivato alle 8.58. Due minuti prima dell’avvio. La compagnia telefonica guidata da Pietro Labriola ha comunicato l’arrivo dell’offerta di Kkr per Netco . Il termine per la presentazione dell’offerta non vincolante era fissato per ieri, domenica 15 ottobre. In realtà l’offerta è arrivata nella mattina del 16 ottobre, «in data odierna», scrive Tim. La novità al momento è che le offerte sono due. Una non vincolante per Sparkle «in attesa di procedere alla trasmissione di un’offerta vincolante entro 4/8 settimane, al termine delle attività di due diligence in corso, richiedendo un periodo di esclusiva fino al prossimo 20 dicembre», si legge nella nota di Tim. Una mossa, questa, legata con ogni probabilità alla necessità da parte del Mef di attendere tutti i via libera per acquisire la società che ha in pancia i cavi sottomarini, tanto più preziosi e sensitive in quanto deputati al trasporto dei dati. Ne parliamo con Andrea Biondi de Il Sole 24 Ore.

Trong bối cảnh số lượng những thuyền nhỏ tỵ nạn đến tăng vọt, các nhà lãnh đạo châu Âu chuẩn bị tiết lộ một kế hoạch mới nhằm giải quyết vấn đề di cư và người xin tị nạn. Ý và các quốc gia ở tuyến đầu tin rằng họ đang phải chịu quá nhiều gánh nặng khi các quốc gia khác đưa ra các biện pháp ngăn chặn người di cư vượt qua biên giới nội bộ của Liên minh Châu Âu. Nhiều người di cư hướng đến thành phố biên giới Ý Ventimiglia, điểm dừng cuối cùng trên đường đến Pháp. Nhưng chính quyền Pháp đang trấn áp và đẩy người di cư trở lại Ý, trước sự thất vọng của người dân địa phương.

Amid a surge in small boat arrivals, European leaders are set to reveal a new plan to deal to tackle migration and asylum seekers. Italy and other frontline countries believe they're bearing too much of the burden as other nations put in place measures to stop migrants crossing the European Union's internal borders. Many migrants head to the Italian border city of Ventimiglia, the final stop on the road to France. But French authorities are cracking down and pushing migrants back into Italy, to the frustration of local residents.

Anche questa settimana siamo di fatto costretti a parlare delle frontiere esterne dell'Unione. Lampedusa, gli echi su Ventimiglia, le divisioni tra gli Stati membri dell'Unione, la fermezza dei paesi "Visegrad" che guardano all'altra frontiera, quella orientale. Frontiere tra stati e frontiere esterne dell'Unione sono i luoghi dove prendono corpo le grandi paure del nostro tempo: dalle migrazioni incontrollate che generano tragedie collettive, al pericolo di guerra, che con il tema della migrazione si incrocia e talvolta si fonde. A Europa Europa, condotto da Gigi Donelli e in onda domenica alle 11,30, sentiamo le voci di chi deve amministrare questa crisi epocale. Da Giorgia Meloni a Riccardo Magi (+Europa), da Stefano Bonaccini a Giovanni Toti. Poi, nella seconda parte, ci facciamo portare da Christian Eccher (professore universitario e giornalista) al confine tra Lituania-Polonia e Bielorussia, lungo il "corridoio di Suwalki", uno dei luoghi ad alto rischio del nostro presente.In collaborazione con Euranet Plus

On this episode, my guest is Barbara from No Name Kitchen, an independent movement working alongside the Balkans and the Mediterranean routes to promote humanitarian aid and political action for those who suffer the difficulties of extreme journeys and violent push-backs.Their actions include medical care, distributions of food and clothes, legal support and the denunciation of abuses at the borders, where thousands of human beings keep suffering violence, fatigue and sickness during their migratory processes.No Name Kitchen was born in Belgrade by winter 2017 when a group of volunteers started cooking in Belgrade alongside the thousands of people who were fending for themselves after the closure of the Hungarian frontier. Since then, NNK supports those who suffer the lack of safe and legal pathways, collecting testimonies and denouncing the systematic use of institutional violence at the borders.Show NotesNo Name Kitchen: What's in a Name?Social Media as a Tool for OrganizingThe KitcheneersIt's a Border Crisis, not a Migration CrisisWhy do People Seek Asylum in EuropeHow the EU is Breaking its Own LawsBorder Violence in the BalkansWhat are Pushbacks?The Silence of Big-Name NGOsFrom Hospitality to Hostility: A Story in KladusaMigrants as Puppets in Political WarsThe EU's Racist Immigration ActionsThe Lives of NNK's Guests After the BorderHomeworkNo Name Kitchen Website - Facebook - Instagram - TwitterVolunteer w/ No Name KitchenLatitude Adjustment Program Podcast episode w/ No Name KitchenTranscript[00:00:00] Chris: Welcome, Barbara, to the End of Tourism Podcast.

And so I'm visiting her that we didn't see her for the last four years because we're all the time very busy with our lives and with our different projects.So I'm here with her these days with plan to head to Croatia next week. Because the political context changed in the borders a little bit in the last month and now there are people on the move in that are passing through Rijeka, this one Croatian city, and I want to go to see the situation there.And then maybe, if I find the time, I will also head Kladusa and Bihac that are the border areas of Bosnia where I used to live in the past and where I spend a lot of time with my life there. [00:01:14] Chris: Mm. Interesting. And you're from Spain originally, is that correct? [00:01:18] Barbara: Yeah, I'm from Spain and normally I, I spend the most of the time in Spain in the last years because sometimes you need a break from the border. Emotionally I feel very well as well because I'm with my friend who is a brilliant person and I adore her. She was a perfect colleague you know, when you're at the border, the life is very tough. You see a lot of people suffering.But having her as a colleague, it was beautiful thing because we gave too much support to each other. [00:01:44] Chris: What a blessing. What a blessing. Mm. [00:01:47] Barbara: I was very lucky. [00:01:49] Chris: Well, I know that a lot of the work that No Name Kitchen does is based in the Balkans and as well in Ceuta in Spain. And we'll come to those regions momentarily.But I'd like to ask you first why no name Kitchen? Why a kitchen without a name? [00:02:07] Barbara: It's a very nice story because No Name Kitchen was born in a very informal way. You know, it is not actually an organization. It's a movement of people. And there are different organizations registered in different countries, but itself No Name Kitchen is a movement of people helping people. And in 2017, so let's make a little bit of context. In 2016, European Union sent money to Turkey to close the border of the Balkans. Yeah. So, in the beginning of 2017, in the winter, many people found themselves in Serbia. They were trying to migrate to go to some country in Europe, and then they found themselves in Serbia with the borders of European Union closed. And many people like were activists that went to Greece to help people on the move because they knew the situation or what was happening since 2015.You probably remember in 2015 all this amount of people that were going from Turkey to somewhere in Europe to ask for asylum, to seek international protection. So many people were in Greece helping. They got information that in the city center of Belgrade, which is the capital city of Serbia, they were like more than 1000 people, mainly from Afghanistan at that moment, many of them minors with no parents, living in the old train station in a very bad conditions. And the weather was horrible. It was super cold. It was probably one of the coldest winters of the last years. So they just went there. They got some food from an organization. They went there and they saw a horrible situation where no one of the big institutional organizations were helping.So then, they, with these posts that they had and asking for, help in social media, in their own social media, people start sending money and they start cooking right away. So, then they found this group of activists from many countries found themselves cooking every day and also together with people on the move and distributing food every day, every night.And then one day, they were like, this seems like an organization. We actually are kind of organization. And then one guy, one from Afghanistan, he wrote on the wall with a spray kitchen. No, because it's like, we have a kitchen, we have an organization, but we have no name. And then it's the same guy.He wrote "No Name," and then it was like, "No Name Kitchen." And it just stay like this. I think it's amazing. It's a very pure name and it really shows what is the way No Name Kitchen movement works. Its informal way of people cooperating and doing things together and helping each other.[00:04:31] Chris: And so in that context, it was a spontaneous organization of people, or how did they, I mean, obviously people heard about this, but how did they come to organize together? [00:04:41] Barbara: Social media is most instant thing, right? So, they opened this facebook profile, and then they say, what is going on. Some journalists started going there because these activists started talking about the situation. So, journalism and photojournalists went there and start showing the images. Mm-hmm. Oh, because it was really like minus 20 degrees and things like that. And people were living in the old train station and were using this wood from the old train station that has this liquid that is toxic.So it was pretty awful. And also at the same time, the activists start hearing all these stories about the pushbacks, which is, yeah, something I would keep denouncing, since then, that is when people try to enter European Union, police will push them back to Serbia with violence, which is totally illegal.So yeah, it was just people that were in Greece trying to help people in Greece. Finally, everybody knows everybody in this activist world, and if you don't know anyone, then you contact someone and then this person will tell you, "Ah, there is this group of people doing that."Maybe you're interested. And then with the Facebook, they started to ask for donations. They started to call for more people to go and help because the situation was a big emergency and needed more, more people. Some other people will give interviews on newspapers, for example. I was not there at the moment. I arrived some months later. And how I met No Name Kitchen is because one girl told her situation to one Spanish newspaper. I read this interview. I found like amazing what they're doing. I found them on the social media and I contacted No Name Kitchen. And then I head to Belgrade few months after. So yeah, spontaneously. [00:06:11] Chris: Within the kitchens themselves, if we can call it that, within the No Name Kitchens, what kind of people end up showing up?Are these people who are already a part of the No name Kitchen Network? Or are they local people as well? [00:06:24] Barbara: Well, we call ourselves "kitcheners." It's many different kind of people. Like really it's, it's people. People want to help. People are good, despite all the politics that surround us, there is a lot of beautiful people in this world, and they can be someone who is. Retired and he was a lawyer in his life and now he finished his work and he's 66 years old and he wants to do something and he goes to Serbia and he spends there two months. He can be someone that's 22 years old and is doing an internship for the university and decided instead of doing a very easy internship, they will come with us and face what is really the situation in Europe? It's a very wide movement of people. Some of them can come to the borders and we have a policy of minimum one month cause it makes everything easier for the work, right? But then also a kitchener is a person that is in his home or her hometown gathering beautiful clothes to send to the border so people can dress nicely and is a person that is making some event in her or his town to raise money to share, to send to the activities. And there's really a lot of people, because many people are good and many people wanna help. They understand we cannot really be living in this Europe that they are making for us, the politicians. No, we need a more human place to live. Yeah. It's true. As you mentioned before, that is more people from the south of Europe and Germany also, not so much from the north of Europe.[00:07:45] Chris: Speaking of the issues in the Balkans, in between Serbia and Turkey and Greece, of course. Perhaps for our listeners, if you could, perhaps there's a way of summarizing briefly the main issues that are arising in Southern Europe regarding these immigration crises.Why is this happening? What are the major positions of the European Union, of organizations like No Name Kitchen, and what does that dynamic look like? From a distance, [00:08:15] Barbara: So first, I wanted to tell you in No Name Kitchen we don't say "migration crisis" because there are not really so many people who are migrating.So the crisis has been it's a border crisis, a political crisis. It's a humanitarian crisis. There are not so many migrants. And if the borders will be open, all this mess will not be happening. Right? So we don't call it migration crisis. So, basically according to the European Union law, if you wanna apply for asylum, if you come from a country that is in war or a country with a dictatorship, that when you complain about something or you can see yourself in jail from a country in conflict or whatever or you're from LGBTQ++ if you wanna apply for asylum is very, very few chances that you can get any visa to travel to Europe. So imagine you're in Syria, you're in Afghanistan, you're in Iraq, you're in Morocco, and you wanna apply for asylum to come to Europe or to get any visa that will allow you to come to Europe by plane.It's very, very, very few chances that they will give you any visa to come. But the European Union law also says that if you're in the European Union soil and you apply for asylum and you apply for international protection, it's your right that the country where you are, it starts a procedure to see and to understand if you really need this protection, which long legal procedure.And it takes a while. Yeah. So that basically is one of the main reasons why people are seeing themselves crossing borders in irregular manners and seeing themselves risking their lives as it just happened now from Libya, this shipwreck in Greece. So people are coming from Libya to Italy and now.A lot of people have died and others are in centers in Greece now. So this is the main point why people will cross the borders in irregular manners. But then there is a problem and it's like European Union is not following its own rules. So then when a person arrives in, for example, let's say Greece, let's say Bulgaria, I say this because they are more in the south, let's say Croatia or Hungary, countries that are bordered with other their countries, the people arrived there and then when they tried to apply for asylum, the most of common thing that can happen to them. And what we've been denouncing since the very beginning because people were explaining to us and we saw it was something very systematically. And it's something that is happening on a daily basis is that police take them back to this other country, which means a pushback. We call this a "pushback."And many times these pushbacks, which are illegal according to the European Union law, come with a lot of violence. Many times the police will steal the things from the people on the move. And many times they take, for example, their shoes when it's winter and then people to walk in the snow in the winter without shoes until they arrive to a safe place.So this is basically why people are crossing borders in this ways. Then another question that is very common, why a person will not stay, for example, in Bosnia, will not stay in Serbia, in North Macedonia, which are safe countries, which are very nice countries. Yeah. So, the problem is that if you look to the numbers, there are very few people, that get asylum there.So, there is people that tried too because it's like, okay, I'm in a safe place. There's no work here, and it's a beautiful place. But then if you look to the numbers, there are very, very, very few people every year that can access asylum. And while also you're waiting for your asylum to proceed, normally they keep you in those camps that really don't have the basic conditions to really have a decent life. I mean, these refugee camps, transit camps; it depends how they them in each country. [00:11:54] Chris: Wow. Thank you. And the major sites that no-name Kitchen operates in include Ceuta in Spain, which surprisingly, is actually on the African mainland. Mm-hmm. As well as in the Balkans in Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Patras, Greece. [00:12:13] Barbara: Patras has just finished. Right. Basically many people are not going anymore to Greece as before because in Greek, the polices became very tough against people who are migrating. So, many times people are forced to be in detention centers, like in detention camps while they apply for asylum, while they wait for the asylum to proceed. It's like really a jail. Mm-hmm. So now many people go through Bulgaria and then Serbia.So in Greece there are not so many people anymore as it used to be. And we just close few weeks ago. But we're always open that there are more people start coming to Greece that we can reopen any project there. Okay. [00:12:47] Chris: And these other sites then in Ceuta as well as Serbia, Bosnia, and Bulgaria, these places are so important for No Name Kitchen in part because this is essentially where the movement of people flows through?[00:13:01] Barbara: We are basically in the borders because we do many things, not every day. We share food, clean clothes, provide tools that people can have hot showers, because also the many people don't have access to water. We have a health project that if someone needs a paid treatment because it's like, for example, dentist or for the eyes.And then in the hospital they don't wanna to give any of these treatments and we pay for the private doctors and so on. So it's many activities that we do every day about spending time with people in the movement, listening and spending and sharing our stories. But then all this also bring us to see how much their rights are attacked all the time.So then the aim is to denounce. The aim is that we don't need not to give this charity because there will be justice and then people don't need anymore. So the aim is to denounce what is happening all the time. So, in the place where we're is basically border areas. Mm-hmm. The border areas is where you can see how Europe is really not respecting the human rights.And because quite tough places, there is not so many movements on these areas. So for example, the humanitarian aid is pretty much criminalized. So normally police will disturb you just because you're giving jackets to people. Mm. So it's are places that are strategically for denouncing. And since it just started in Serbia, first it started in Belgrade, but three months after the team moved to Sid, which is in the border with Croatia because many people were there. And it was a point where you could really denounce on the pushbacks from Croatia. So then, all the other projects have been going very much together with the idea of reporting the border violence.Yeah. Mm. And in Ceuta, Spain, which is bordered with Morocco. It's like another border for people because even if it's a Spain, people are not allowed to take a ferry very easily to the mainland, it's very difficult. So there is a lot of bureaucratic problems in the middle, like barriers that are being pushed to the people, so then they don't have the chance to cross legally to the mainland.So many people also risk their life there. And at the same time, sometimes there are pushbacks from Ceuta to Morocco. We've denounced the pushbacks of minors and actually together with other organizations from Spain. And actually the former delegate of the government got investigated for that. And they are under, I dunno how you say in English, like invest. [00:15:27] Chris: Investigations. [00:15:29] Barbara: Yeah. So basically border areas are very much important for what we wanna denounce. Mm. And now we're starting operating in Ventimiglia, Italy, which even inside of Italy is very near France.And we visited the place there and then we saw how there are also pushbacks from France. So this is another place that it could, it could be interesting to denounce, because many, many times people would think like, ah, but this is happening there in Croatia and Serbia you know, like, Serbia is not European Union, so people sometimes think that when we are talking about the pushbacks and all this violence, like very far from us, and it's difficult to make people understand that it's actually with the money that comes from the European Union. That means that if you are from the European Union or you're working here and paying taxes here, your taxes are used to pay to torture people, basically.No. Mm wow. So it's also nice to be inside of Europe to show how this violence is systematic in the different borders. [00:16:23] Chris: Right. And in the context of these pushbacks I imagine they're happening in all different contexts and circumstances. Could you give us a little bit of an idea of what that looks like?I mean, I imagine a few different things. I imagine that people are in detention centers, people are in refugee camps. I imagine that in some instances people are simply on the street and then perhaps in others trying to get a meal. [00:16:51] Barbara: I mean, we don't see the pushbacks. Pushbacks are hidden. And also we are at the other side of the borders. We only can meet people after they got pushed-back.. Yeah. Mm. Okay. So for example, you're in Serbia and this person tells you, like, I just been pushback from Hungary.We're not in the border area. You cannot be at the border. We're in different towns near the border areas. Ok. So a pushback is like a person tries to cross the border in different ways. For example, walking the forest, hidden. It's very common.So these are the stories that people tell to us. And then at some points, police see them in maybe in Hungary or maybe in Bulgaria, or maybe in Croatia. Those are all European Union countries. And then either the police or it can be also neighbors that they believe they're patriots, they'll call the police.Mm-hmm. You can see the people on the move walking and then the police will can arrive there and can take the people back to the border by cars. Many times they need to sign papers that they don't know what is written on these papers. Many times they get lied by the police telling, like, if you sign this paper, you can access to asylum.And actually you're signing a paper that is making you a punishment for something or you're signing that you want to really go back to the other countries, so, you're signing something that you don't know. Many times people get put into detention places. It's very common in Bulgaria and in Croatia for example.And then when they leave these detention places, they are told that they need to pay for their days they've been sleeping there for the accommodation on the food, which is like normally according to what people explain to us, accommodation on food are awful. Many times, not even enough food. And many times we're talking that those are children or very young people, as well.And then police will take them to the border and then force them to come back to the country that is not European Union, which means maybe Bosnia, maybe Serbia, or maybe Turkey if they're in Bulgaria. And many times this comes with very huge violence. As you can see in our websites, we speak often about this. No Name Kitchen created one Network that is called Border Violence Monitoring Network. Border Violence Monitoring Network. Now we are not anymore part of it since last month, because we will report in other ways by ourselves and with other different partners. But there you can find all the testimonies we've been gathering since 2017.And it's how the people describe to us what happens to them. Many times, you can't really see, because many times the people describe to you one situation and then they show you their back and in their back you see the marks of the batons or the marks of sticks or things like that, so it's very obvious to see that the person is injured. Many times people can come with blood or with bruises in their faces because the police did them in their faces. Wow. And then other of the things that is very common is to steal their belongings. So like this, you make more difficult for them to continue their trip because then they take their phones, their clothes, money.So then if you see yourself, for example, in Serbia, again with no phone, with no money, with no shoes, with no basic clothes, then you cannot continue your trip. You need to find a way to get money again. You need to find, like, for example, that your family sends to you and then you can buy another phone and then you can buy new shoes.So you can continue, at some point, your way to try to ask for international protection to some European Union country. Wow. Wow. [00:20:11] Chris: I guess there's this aspect of the state that seems so deeply involved in the suppression and repression of these movements, especially from asylum seekers, right?Mm-hmm. And I think this is something that you hear about quite a bit in many parts of the world where there are these border crises, right? In regards to people who live in the borderlands who are for whatever reason against the movement or flows of people in this regard against asylum seekers in this obviously ends up or can end up with not just hostility, but violence, racism, et cetera.And I'm also curious about the possibility of hospitality in these contexts. And certainly no name kitchen appears to take on that role and that responsibility quite a bit. And it's one of the main themes of this podcast, as well, is hospitality. And I'm reminded of this story that, some years ago and at the beginning of the war in Syria around 2015, 2016, I heard a rumor that Syrian refugees were hiding in the abandoned houses in my grandparents' villages in northern Greece, right on the border with North Macedonia in the daytime and waiting until night to cross the border, mostly to avoid capture and persecution at the hands of either Greek or Macedonian authorities. And last year I was visiting my grandmother there. She confirmed the story and said that this 85 year old woman, she left her house in the daytime, in the same village, with trays and trays of food and jars of water to offer these travelers before they moved along.Since no name Kitchen relies largely on donations, I'm wondering about this notion of old time hospitality as opposed to the kind of industrial hospitality we hear about or we see in the hotels. One of the themes of this season is also about what kind of old time hospitality still exists in Europe, and I'm wondering what you and your team might have seen in this regard?[00:22:29] Barbara: so, this is a very interesting question because things have changed so much during the years, and basically because the authorities have criminalized so much. The people on the move in general, like being a migrant is like being a criminal according to general speech from the politicians, which comes from the European Union. Mm-hmm. And at the same time, it's being criminalized. The help. Humanitarian help is being criminalized. So imagine for example, I wanna tell you the story in Bosnia, because Bosnia is the project where I spent the most of my time in the last years. When I arrived in Bosnia, in Kladusa, that is in the north of Bosnia near Croatia. It was middle of 2018 and people will be very nice. And then people will be very nice with people on the move. So people on the move did not have a place where to stay cause there was no camp created there. And the mayor of the town say that they can use this field and stay. So there was a field. And then like independent organizations or independent movements like No Name Kitchen or others will be building tents, will be providing blankets and showers and so on, because the institutional organizations were doing pretty much nothing.And at the moment, they were like around 1000 people. There, it was already very difficult to cross and there were already a lot of pushbacks, so it was really difficult to cross. And some people stayed there for two years. So imagine how many wow pushbacks can it be that people can stay there up to two years.And the local people were also very nice. They will go to this camp, which is called... to this field. And will bring food, will bring clothes, will spend their cooking together, time with people because they were, lot of families, a lot of children from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Morocco.And so. So it was actually very nice to see. And also from our side with the local people. Local people really welcome us very nicely, because they knew that we are going there to help and they were actually very worried to see all these people in the move suffering so much. You know, because also, it's very hard for them.You have to understand that in Bosnia was a very bad, cruel war, not so long time ago. Right. When you see yourself, that you need to see how children are walking in the night pretty much cold because they were just pushed back with their families. And then you see people with bruises in their faces and things like that.It is also very hard for the Bosnian people. Mm-hmm. But despite that, they were very welcoming and very nice. When the months start passing, the police start criminalizing the humanitarian aids. So, that means that, for example, there was this family that had some people in the move living in their place for free and then the police put them a fine of like, it was like 1000-2000 thousand Euro, which is lot of money for Bosnian income.Then if you have a bar and people can enter your bar, police will go to disturb you. So then in many bars, it started to be written and which is very sad to say and to imagine, but this happens, "migrants not allowed," in the door. Mm, [00:25:23] Chris: because the local people were also being harassed or under threat as a result.[00:25:28] Barbara: So the police will disturb very much the owners of the bars, right. ...where they welcomed people on the move. And then with the time also, because there are many places that do not accept people on the move. Then if you accept people on the move, many people will be there because there is not so many places anymore where they can spend the day.Like, having a coffee, being a pretty woman. So the criminalization of the people on the move started, like actually when the money from European Union came and then a camp was built, finally. A lot of money came. The institutional organizations obviously took over this money to build the camp, and then this speech started because there were like fights, who is going to manage the camps and so on. Then, for example, as it happens everywhere, because this is not exclusively in Kladusa, as it happens everywhere, whenever there are any elections, migrants are used for getting votes. No. So, for example, in 2020 after the lockdown, which was already a very hard period, there were elections in the north of Bosnia, and then the politicians used the migrants for their speech.And a lot of hate speech was spread. So, and even was local people would organize themselves to go and beat migrants. So, it changed from being super nice to the thought that these people are not good. European Union keeps exposing these people. European Union authorities send a lot of money to the borders to keep these people out of the European Union.So something might be wrong with them. European Union feels with the right to beat these people in their faces. To push them back and also with violence. So maybe these people are not so worth it. So, it's like how all these actions that come from all these European Indian countries are dehumanizing people.In a very bad way. Also, people will complain like, "ah, because the people are not clean," and of course they're not clean because the authorities cut the access to water, so they main access to water so you can have a proper shower was cut for a while. Things like that. So it seems very much from the moment that everybody was super welcoming to the opposite.And this is very much related with the speech that EU sends to the people who are trying to seek asylum. [00:27:33] Chris: Mm. So you think that this change in the way that people perceive these people on the move and the flows of people, it comes from the top down that it's a diffusion of EU based, state-based, language that then gets diffused as it rolls down the pyramid as it makes its way into social media, for example.[00:27:59] Barbara: Yeah, sure. The thing is that if the main authority, the main one is sending millions of euros and they say always, you can listen to Ursula von der Leyen for example, who is the president of the European Commission. She will say like, we're sending money to fight mafias of human trafficking.We're sending money to reinforce the borders, to protect our borders. You need to protect our borders because someone wants to attack the border, right? Mm-hmm. You're getting this work protection, right? Are we protecting from a six year old child from Syria? We're protecting from this actually. So, but when you're using these speech, you're making the people understand that we need to get protected from them.So that means these people are dangerous, right? Mm-hmm. And you're telling this. You're sending millions of euros every year to protect the borders and to fight against human trafficking mafias. This is what they say. It's not me. So, of course, a person who is sitting on her house and knows that some people that in her town, there is 800 people, for example, walking that she doesn't know, she would believe like, "ah, these people are dangerous" because what you, what what this woman who has authorities telling the television openly.Right? [00:29:08] Chris: I had an interview with Fiore Longo, who's a representative of Survival International, one of the oldest NGOs in Europe, in the world. And in that interview, she spoke at length about how the major NGOs in the conservation world, World Wildlife Fund, African Parks, and the rest of them, were essentially collaborating with state governments in Africa in order to push indigenous people off their traditional lands, in order to create national parks or national reserves or ecotourism organizations or companies. And I'm curious within the context of the border crises in Europe, how No Name Kitchen sees these much larger NGOs, the ones that I imagine getting money from governments and also helping to change government policy. [00:30:08] Barbara: We, as No Name Kitchen movement do not get any money from the European Union nor from governments. Why? Because if you as European commission are sending these millions of euros to "protect borders," how they say. To close the borders, while you are allowing the pushbacks because the pushbacks are being denounced.We brought this information to the European Parliament. It is there. It's not a secret. Everybody knows this happening. So, if you ask a European commission are sending all these big amounts of money, but then this European commission is sending also lots of money to these people that are rejected and that are abused at the borders, to create camps for them.Yeah, you can imagine how much this European Commission cares these people and how much nice might be these camps. Those camps are catastrophic, horrible. And many people have a lot of scabies. Many people have diseases from bedbugs and come to us actually to ask for cure because they are ignored.So the big institutional organizations, and I don't gonna say names because I'm talking on behalf of No Name Kitchen are many times inside of these camps and are getting money to manage these camps, which many times are like this. And sometimes there is no bedsheet at all. It's just this old, dirty mattress, what people can find when they entering the camp. And so you are getting these huge millions of money from the European Union and then you are keeping quiet about the abuses at the borders, what is this?Everybody can know which organizations they are because actually information is there. And normally they have these big advertisements showing people also, this is something that makes me very angry, because as I tell you, they are people. They're in different circumstances that we're, right now. They're same like you, and they were in their country, living a normal life until something happen.But they don't like to see themselves in this situation. Imagine that you are like now and then a war starts there, and then you need to see yourself asking for shoes, asking for food. This is catastrophe. This is very complicated. This is really difficult for them. But then they get these advertisements on the TV showing people like, "hi, these poor refugees, they need our help. Look these poor children, how much they need our help." But also you're kinda dehumanizing them a little bit. No, because you're showing them as these poor people that didn't know how to do the things by themselves when actually people on the move, in general, they are the bravest people I have ever met.Cause really this journey is something that you really, really need to be a brave person because the most of people will not do the journey. They stay in a calm area closer to their countries. And then they show them like these poor people, like if they will really not have power to change their situation and it's never like this.But then they make these advertisements, obviously. They not only get money from the European Union, but also from donors that with all their good intention want to support these poor people in their refugee camps. For example, Greece put this rule in 2020. This refugee camp, it was at the detention center, but like really like a jail of maximum security. That you really cannot leave this place. So if there is this government making these rules that against the human rights, keeping people into detention center, that's because you're applying for a asylum.But your asylum is, is being analyzed. Why, EU as an institutional organization are supposed to work for the human rights are supporting this and supporting these decisions from the government and then the government will say, "okay, now this kind of organization cannot be anymore in the camps." Then you don't denounce this publicly. You keep quiet about the situation inside of the camps. So are we really here for the people's rights? Or you're here because of your money.[00:33:37] Chris: Wow. And I'm curious about this notion of open borders in the context of tourism as well. Right. Because tourism operates largely on this notion of open borders. Those who can fly, those who can travel, those who have the right passports can go wherever they want.Although you have to go through customs, you have to go through security when you go to a new country, of course, and usually there's limits on how long you can stay and things like that. Generally, the pro-immigration movements there is also very much this kind of discourse, this fight for open borders in terms of asylum seekers and essentially making it easier to create that kind of hospitality that's needed for people in flight, people in exile.And so I'm curious about the dynamic between the two. Right? In a lot of places in southern Europe especially, you see graffiti that says, "migrants, welcome. Tourists, go home." Right? And so I'm curious what you think of these two major avenues or channels of movement in the world between tourism and then the movement of people in flight or in exile.[00:34:56] Barbara: Mm-hmm. Yeah, actually tourism is seen as a very positive thing. And then we already know that actually the reason doesn't necessarily need to be positive.It can make very expensive, your city. If we talk about some countries in the world, it can bring you some pedophiles too; misuse and abuse children. You know, like tourism can bring many good things, many bad things, like everything in life. No. Right. We always say that we don't cross borders, borders crossed us, separate us.So in Spain, for example. I say Spain because it's my country and we also operate there. To listen like, "ah, because we need more children because you know, like birth rate is pretty low," and it's true that we are not having so many children anymore. And we young people and then this and that, but then we have all these people who are, have migrated already, who are living in Spain from different countries, and who are young people that will be ready to study and to get education and to start working pretty fast because we are talking about people who are maybe like teenagers. And so, but the system doesn't try to help them. Doesn't really put any effort. You know, in a Spain, there is one term that is "MENA," to speak about people who have migrated, who are children. So, they normally the fastest called the MENA just to dehumanize one person, because you're using just these letters, you know, MENA means like "Menor Extranjera, Non-Acompanado" (Unaccompanied Underage Foreigner). So you're using just this term look out children, you know, so it's a way of criminalizing them and at the same time, there are no proper initiatives to integrate these people to the system, for example. Then at the same time, we have a lot of tourism and now we have this digital nomad visa.Hmm. So look, in order you get the digital nomad visa, you need to have a pretty high income. Yeah. Right. So, that means that actually this, okay, " these people come to my town and then they'll have a lot of money." But yeah, they can make very expensive here your city. I don't know if you've seen both in Libson and in Medellin there is already protest against digital nomads because they're making everything expensive. Also in Medellin, it seems that prositution Increases, so rich people are abusing people who are poor, women, of course, who are poor.And it raise the prostitution according to what I read and what I report because I also write about these kind of things with colleagues that I interviewed. So yeah, I know, like for example, it's not open borders. Open borders. Last year we were telling, that if we will allow the people who are in the Balkans to enter European Union and to ask for asylum, and also we're asking those of Europe to respect their own law.We're not asking for something very big. We're telling them respect your own law and your own international agreements and respect the human rights. Yeah. Which is basic. We always told like if these people who were in the Balkans were not so much, really, not so much would enter, there would not be crisis anymore.All this s**t would not be happening. And last year we could see when Ukrainian war started and selling millions of people who arriving into European Union countries and could get a house very fast. The children could go to study in short time. They could get integrated into the system in very few times.So this means that we are being racist because why we can host, I don't know how many millions of people born in Ukraine and keeping the war in Ukraine and we cannot host some thousand people who come from Syria, Iraq, or Afghanistan. This is racism, basically. Mm-hmm. Because in the Balkans, you find families who are three years in the Balkans, who have children. Three years without going to school.People who are getting themselves poor. You know, people when they left, it's not so easy to do this, this trip. It's very expensive. It's very hard. They have a business, for example, in Afghanistan, and then they go threatened by the Talibans or the one that the children are taken by the talibans to fight whatever.And then they say, okay, let's sell our business. Let's sell our house, our lands. They call this money and let's go to search for the future for our family. Then, they see themselves three years and the children don't go to school, that they cannot work, that they spend all their money every day. Cause there is no way to really find a job or get an income.So finally, this is racism. All this difference between a person comes from Ukraine and a person that is coming from Syria. [00:39:20] Chris: Wow. In regards to the relationships that are built between the Kitcheners of No Name Kitchen and the asylum seekers, do any of those friendships end up developing once those people have found a place to settle, a place to stay?[00:39:41] Barbara: Yeah, yeah, of course. It's true that now, it's not so easy to be spend time together because the police is really much disturbing you because you're giving a jacket to someone. So, it doesn't allow you to spend so much time anymore, together. But in general, what we promote in No Name Kitchen and what is very important for us, that we are really together.No, because we are people. All of us, we are people, just in different circumstances. We're actually all of us migrants. Some of them are local people as well, that are supporting us. Cause many local people support our activities. Maybe not always so active because finance is very tired to be every day in your own hometown doing these things.I'm facing all these challenges. For us it's very important to create networks of trust and mutual understanding. So, it's not only you are helping someone. No, no, it is not about this. It's about, you are there, you are learning with a, with a person. We are spending time with a person.It's amazing for me being volunteer with No Name Kitchen is amazing because you can learn so much. You can meet so much amazing people. And I tell you that I'm here with a colleague that she was with me in Bosnia. And then next week, some friends who live in different European countries are gonna come to visit us. One is originally from Syria. The other originally from Pakistan. Mm-hmm. They're gonna come here to visit because now they are already have made their lives. One is living in France. The other is living in the Netherlands. They have their papers, everything, so now they can travel freely around European Union.So this is very, very, very important for us. And actually these networks are very valuable because maybe some person arrives later to some country and then this person has already friends in this country. Mm. [00:41:16] Chris: Right. And in some instances, some of the people do end up returning, or maybe not returning is the right word, but reuniting with No Name Kitchen and other places to help perhaps serve those on the move for a time.[00:41:30] Barbara: Yeah. Like taking papers in Europe, it takes very long, so it's not so easy. And we started only in 2017. So many of the people that we know, they're still on the way to get papers. Really long process. No, but for example, there is this friend of me who is from Iran and I met him in Kladusa, in Bosnia, and now he's living in France.And the other day he wrote me. He was with two colleagues of me that he also met them in Bosnia and he was visiting them and the newborn baby they have been. And he would really like to come to volunteer with No Name Kitchen because now he has documents that he could. But at same time, because of the working conditions finally in this racist work, sometimes cannot be the same for everybody.Right. So he doesn't have the chance to just get one whole month to come. But at some point, yeah, he's thinking about coming. It can be difficult cause then I tell you that police sometimes are chasing people who are not white. So, sometimes it can be difficult, but at the same time. But yeah. Well the idea is like many of our friends now at some point will start not getting, or are getting documents. So, this is a network of people with people and for people. Mm [00:42:31] Chris: mm Amazing. Yeah. It does remind me of the philosophies and practices of mutual aid, (of apoyo mutuo). [00:42:38] Barbara: But it's very important. The other day I was telling to my therapist because I go to the therapy because of the stress.Yeah. So, we're talking about. And last time I was on the field and then she was telling like, yeah, " who helps you when you're helping?" It's like no, you cannot imagine like people on the move have really tried to help you, as well.You know? Like they cannot help us with that distribution. They can help us giving a lot of support. For example, when I was living in Bosnia and I had like a free day, I would go to my friends, to their squats. They had a very warm stove there. And I would be as there, they would cook for me, know, we would be playing board games, we would be laughing and that was my holiday.And for me that was a great moment, where to spend my free day, with them, and they would be taking care of me because they knew I was very stressed and they wanted me to be spoiled one day.[00:43:28] Chris: It's beautiful. Really beautiful. Yeah. The kind of hospitality that can arise in times of conflict, right? Mm-hmm. And so in a time of border crises seems to exist in so many parts of the world, so few people at least in my purview or my understanding actually know about these border crises or understand the complexity around them.And so I'm curious what kind of advice you might have for people who are either critical of immigration or people who want to understand the issues more deeply, and of course those who support asylum secrets. [00:44:16] Barbara: Yeah, I mean finally we're in the era of information, right? So if you wanna get information, good information, because you need to identify the misinformation sources.If you wanna get good information, there is a lot. So yes, please get informed and also go with people that have migrating and talk to them. Cause you'll meet them and you'll spend a lot of time with them and then you'll see how are their stories behind. And also, I really recommend people to get more information about this because I cannot believe that in the 21st century we are using the money of our taxes to pay for torture.This is just insane because this is torture, really, what is happening at the borders of the European Union. And I guess many people in European Union countries do not want their taxes to be spent like this. But at the same time, they don't get informed about this. There are so many sources of information. From us in our social media, we keep informing on a daily basis about the different things that are happening always. But in general, there are very good newspapers all over in different languages where you can get good information and also go to people and talk to people. [00:45:21] Chris: Yeah. It's I mean, go to people and talk to the people. The people that you know, you would perhaps not even talk to, just criticize, without having anything to do with.Right. And that most of those people that have an incredible unwillingness, like they're willing to criticize, but they're not willing to go and talk to the people who they're criticizing. Right. And it's really interesting because as you were talking about earlier, you know, Lisbon and Medellin and the backlash against digital nomads and things like that.This is happening as well in Oaxaca although against tourists in general. Some people ask me like, well, what do we do? And, and I say, well, why don't you go talk to the tourists? Ask them why they're here. Ask them what their life is like, because there's this image, this single or singular image of the tourist and it's a caricature, it's a stereotype, and it says that all tourists are exactly the same. They come for the same reasons. They do the same things. And they have nothing to do with us, right? They're totally the opposite of who we are and all of this stuff.And it's very, very similar to the way that people especially people who speak poorly of immigrants or people on the move also view this and just this unwillingness to speak with the other, right. Hmm. So much to consider. My plate is full with all you've offered today. And I'm deeply grateful to have been on the receiving end of your words today. I'm curious, Barbara how might our listeners get involved in No Name Kitchen?How might they find out more and follow your work online. [00:47:05] Barbara: Yeah, welcome everybody. We have Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. And also now we started some months ago in TikTok. But yeah, we're on social media and also we try very much to always report everything we know, so people on the move know that they can rely on us if they want to denounce something publicly. And here we are for that. Welcome everybody to follow our task and to get to know more about the situation at the borders.[00:47:31] Chris: Thank you so much. On behalf of our listeners, it's been an honor to speak with you and, and to really get a deeper perspective onto these notions of exile and immigration and borders and border crises happening in the world now. So I'm really grateful for your willingness to speak with us today and to be able to add that layer to the conversation. [00:47:53] Barbara: Thanks very much to you for, invite us, for, invite me, for give voice to the situation and everybody welcome to follow what we do.Thank you very much. [00:48:01] Chris: Thank you, Barbara. Take care. [00:48:04] Barbara: Take care. Bye. Get full access to ⌘ Chris Christou ⌘ at chrischristou.substack.com/subscribe

Da quando il centro di accoglienza per migranti di Ventimiglia (Campo Roja) ha chiuso i battenti nel luglio 2020, non esiste nessuna struttura di accoglienza per i migranti, e questi si adattano a vivere in spiaggia, lungo i binari del treno, o in edifici abbandonati.

(00:48) Ondanks Brexit meer migranten naar VK De Britse krantenkoppen maken gehakt van de Conservatieve Partij, nu blijkt dat het aantal immigranten in het VK ruim is verdubbeld. Het was de grote Brexit-belofte van de Conservatieven om de eigen grens te controleren, maar nu bewijzen recente cijfers dat migratie juist sterk is toegenomen. We bespreken de politieke consequenties met VK-deskundige en VRT-journalist Ivan Ollevier.  (12:13) Migranten blijven steken in grensstadje Ventimiglia Zo'n veertigduizend migranten kwamen dit jaar aan in Italië, dat is vier keer zo veel als in dezelfde periode vorig jaar. De groeiende migratie zorgt voor spanningen met buurland Frankrijk. Volgens de Franse grenswachten is het voor migranten namelijk veel te makkelijk om de grens met Frankrijk over te steken. Bijvoorbeeld via het grensplaatsje Ventimiglia, waar door verscherpte Franse grenscontroles steeds meer migranten blijven steken. Correspondent Angelo van Schaik ging er kijken.

Welcome back to the podcast - in this episode I will share a few lectures recorded on the subject of reality - how to disrupt it and trying to answer the question: "Who are you?"   Receive my free weekly letter by subscribing to my mailing list on https://www.raphaelreiter.com   Enjoyed this episode? Support the channel with a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/raph   Podcast transcript: - Hi, who are you? "I am Raphael", is a name that my parents chose a bit before I was born. I am french. What does that mean? It means that I was born in France. In fact, I was born in Nice, which is in the southeast of France. It is only a few kilometers from Italy. Had I been born a few kilometers further east, I would have been Italian. A bit north, I would have been swiss, and that would be a completely different story, haha. But I am french, not Italian, no matter how close to Italy I was born. That means that I grew up speaking French and that my thoughts and dreams are in french. French is a funny language. Very complex in its form and construction. It is a complicated way to think. When I think in English, the content of my thoughts changes. It is not just the form, it is the substance too. Different nuances of the same word create an opposite expression. So I am french. In school, I learned the history of France. What I am interested in, is to know why am not italian. It's right next door! What a silly question, it is because I am born in france, not in Italy. The thing is, many people in my home town are born in Italy. Our food is mostly the same as in Italy. We have pizza, ravioli, gnocchi. Our tomatoes have the same color and the same taste! So the tomatoes are the same here and there, but I am not the same as the person that sells me cheese on the market of Ventimiglia. This is because we were born on different sides of the border. You see, France is France because a thousand-ish years ago, we tried to kill as many people as possible, led by a fierce person driven by greed and an unsatisfiable thirst for power. So we tried to conquer more. Then came another guy, and we tried the same. Then another, and the same. We killed, we pillaged, we raped. For what? To try to satisfy man's vice. Fast forward a couple of centuries later, and we started being a bit more diplomatic. With ups and downs of course, even today we kill each other for no reason other than being lost in the illusions of our imagination. Because of this god, or that god. Because of this greedy bastard, or that one. But in general, in western Europe the day I was born in 1987, we did less killing here. We started building borders, with some fancy rules on how to cross them, with a paper that is stamped by some imaginary construct. As of today, with the European Union being what it is, we don't even have the borders we used to. It is only a fictitious line. And so, between Menton and Ventimiglia, you could put one foot on each country. Isn't that fun? The line is more fictitious than it ever was, and it was always just a thought that spread from one person to another. It was never real. I am born on this piece of rock, and he is born on that other piece of rock. That is what defines us. The line in the middle, that doesnt exist and was put in place to mitigate more killing and satisfy the most powerful's greedy natures. The funny thing is that I am the first French person in my lineage or at least the first person born in France. My mother was born in Algeria, which is in north Africa. when she was born, it belonged to France, and at school, children were taught that they were all French and that Asterix was their ancestor. Then it changed, and the children, from one day to another had a new ancestor. My father's side originates from Austria and fled the nazis during the war, landing in England. My grandfather never spoke English very well, but speaking German, his mother tongue was forbidden. When your government kills your entire family in front of you, you start to deny where you're from. That is normal. But again, from one day to another, they were identifying themselves as proud Austrians. A few years prior, they would have fought on the German side of the first world war. That means, that the same person in those days, could have potentially killed and died for Germany/Austria, and a few years later, after that country tried to exterminate his whole race, would fight and kill for the very country they fought against, against the country they were fighting for. I know that this is a simplistic view that doesn't reflect fully all the complexities of that subject. But if a shift in identity is so easily done, then we identify the wrong data sets. Have you ever had that friend who was a fervent football supporter of a team, but every time they lost they were a fervent supporter of another team? 2006 - "who are you?" "I am an Arsenal fan". 2018 "who are you?" "I am a huge man city supporter." They change their emblem, and they change their outfits from red to light blue. Again, I am being overly simplistic about a complex subject, and I am being a little bit cynical and facetious. This is because, once we wake up to the fact that we are identifying ourselves to events and circumstances that are only real in our own heads, in our thoughts, it becomes quite funny. How can I be so shallow is the first question that pops up in my student's heads when they start seeing a glimpse of light. It doesn't matter. But now, it is time to go deeper and to realize who we really are. We are more than a set of circumstances, that often originated from some angry man's greed and thirst for power. And so I continue asking the question. Who are you?
