Ανοίξτε όλα τα σύνορα..

I want to write a text about the refugee-immigrants on the Greek-Turkish border. I suffer from their suffering and their untold suffering, but I also want to properly weigh the responsibilities of the Turkish and Greek states.  I don't want to be apologist on behalf of my nation or the state that unworthily represents it, but I also do not want the immense shame of the Turkish state and hypocritical Western philanthropists and hypocrites to be hidden. The analysis I want to present to you has difficulties in terms of its moral foundation because it includes realist aspects, but I do not wish to be cynical. We have to talk about the whole truth, so we have to look for interpretations that explain the facts and do not flatter ideological consciousnesses. I preface by making it clear: For me, European borders must be opened for the tortured, everyone, but all European borders must be opened. Frontex must be dissolved, but the European Union must also stop blackmailing the Greek people by turning them into jailers of a closed country, something the left is not talking about.
