In Germany, Chancellor Scholz, a Social Democrat under pressure from Afd's advance, has laboriously signed an agreement with regional governors that has several similarities to Giorgia Meloni's Albanian model. It is envisaged that asylum screening can take place in transit countries and third countries. In Spain, Socialist Sánchez is not at all soft on Migrants (in Ceuta and Melilla, a few bullets have even escaped in the past). Faced with increased immigrants arrivals in the Canary Islands, the Spanish Interior Minister flew to Senegal last week to put further pressure on the government to halt the departures. And again: in Macron's France, which is not right-wing, parliament has begun debating a bill aimed at tightening immigration rules, which has been criticized by NGOs on the rights ground. In social-democratic Denmark-already a step ahead in restrictive measures-Premier Mette Federiksen has attempted to launch the famous Rwanda model and has gone ahead with the dismantling of neighborhoods inhabited by immigrants of Muslim origin. That is to say, throughout Europe (including progressive Europe) there is a tightening in the approach on immigration, to which even the forces of the radical left, which was pretending solidarity, crossing seas on NGOs, are no strangers. The iconic representation is the German Linke. Precisely on immigration there has been a split by former leader Sahra Wagenknecht, who opposed Carola Raketee's candidacy and the humanitarian line. The prescription is to overcome left-wing "goodism" in the name of a rhetoric in Marxist sauce: reception policies favor those who want cheap labor, let's keep them at home. Which is exactly what Jean-Luc Melenchon has advocated for the past years. Instead, Robert Fico, the "red sovereignist" suspended from the PSE for his pro-Putin positions, has gone straight to the short routes: drones, water cannons and police horses at the Slovak borders. In short, instead of a European response on Africa, it is all a jumble of national initiatives.
