  • Carola Rackete. Looking for a “Safe Harbour” Against Hate
    Carola Rackete. Looking for a “safe harbour” against hate Paola Andrisani It is on June 12, 2019, when Carola Rackete1 rescues at sea 52 migrants from Libya with the ship that commands, the Sea-Watch 3, flying the Dutch flag and owned by the German NGO Sea Watch. Despite the Libyan Coast Guard has formally taken over the coordination of the rescue, the Sea Watch has arrived first at the site of the event and therefore immediately started operations of recovery of shipwrecked people. They are located on an inflatable boat in precarious conditions, without sufficient fuel to reach the mainland, and on board nobody wears a life jacket. Recovery operations concluded, the commander requests the assignment of a "place of safety" to different maritime authorities, receiving a response from Libyans who have indicated that they can head to the port of Tripoli. Carola replies that Libya cannot be qualified as a “safe harbour”, and she requires another one. In the meantime, she heads north, repeating the request for mooring. Carola then asks for permission to enter an Italian port, but on the 15th of June the Minister of the Interior (at the time of the events, Matteo Salvini) orders the first entry ban against the Sea Watch 3, in implementation of the so-called “security decree two”, as soon as it enters into force, in accordance with the provisions of Article 12. In the following days, while the ship is stationed in front of Italian territorial waters, repeating the request for the allocation of a harbour where to dock, the authorities will evacuate some migrants in need of urgent medical care.

In December 2018, the Democracy in Europe Movement (DiEM25) and the Sanders Institute issued an open call to form a common front in the fight against a rising authoritarianism. The year that followed has been described as a ‘Wave of Global Protest.’ From Delhi to Paris, Santiago to Beirut, citizens rose up to defend democracy, demand a decent standard of living, and protect the planet for future generations. 2020 is the year that we unite these disparate protests in a Progressive International, bringing together activists and organizers, trade unions and tenant associations, political parties and social movements to build a shared vision of democracy, solidarity, and sustainability. The stakes could not be higher. The Covid-19 pandemic has revealed the urgent need for universal healthcare, worker protections, and international cooperation. Only a Progressive International can match the scale of these challenges and stand up for collective rights against those that would profit from fear, bigotry,
