Christian Jakob, taz, 9 November 2019 - Es fiel Judith Sargentini nicht schwer, misstrauisch zu werden: Vor genau zwei Jahren war die niederländische Grünen-Politikerin als Beobachterin beim Gipfel von Europäischer und Afrikanischer Union in der ivorischen Hauptstadt Abidjan dabei gewesen. Hautnah bekam sie mit, wie die europäischen und afrikanischen Staatschefs sich so entzweiten, dass nicht einmal eine dürre Abschlusserklärung möglich war. Einer der Hauptstreitpunkte: der Umgang mit Abschiebungen. [...]

Andrea Germanos, Common Dreams, 8 november 2019 - There are plenty of headlines this week marking the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall on Saturday, but new walls in Europe are very much a big business.

Violeta Tena, El Temps, 8 november 2019 - Aquest 9 de novembre es compleixen 30 anys de la caiguda del mur de Berlín.

Sergio Rodrgio/EntreFronteras, Público, 8 november 2019 - El 9 de noviembre de 1989 cayó el Muro de Berlín. Adiós a 30 años de una frontera que dividió la ciudad durante toda la Guerra Fría. La barrera estuvo en pie nada menos que 28 años, dos meses y 27 días. Y aunque su caída simbolizó el fin de una era, hoy en Europa podemos decir que se han construido más de seis Muros de Berlín.

Maren Mantovani, Mondoweiss, 8 november 2019 - November 9th marks 30 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall. Unfortunately there is nothing to celebrate. We have entered a new era of walls with over 70 of them militarizing borders worldwide or annexing occupied land, such as Israel’s illegal wall in the West Bank. The phenomenon of the “politics of walls” is global and Israel plays a major role in it. [...]

Martina Hrupić, Euractiv, 7 november 2019 - Dok se Europa priprema za obilježavanje pada Berlinskog zida, velike kompanije na kontinentu zarađuju milijarde dolara na izgradnji novih barijera ne bi li zaustavile priljev izbjeglica i migranata, prenijela je medijska kuća al-Jazeera pozivajući se na novo istraživanje koje se izrodilo iz suradnje Transnational Institutea, Centre Delsa i nizozemske organizacije Stop Wapenhandel (Stop the Arms Trade, odnosno Zaustavite trgovinu oružjem).

Alice Tidey, euronews, 6 november 2019 - In the three decades since the fall of the Berlin Wall, European countries have built about 1,000 kilometres of border walls and fences. That amounts to six times the length of the Berlin Wall, the Amsterdam-based Transnational Institute (TNI) flagged in a new report on Tuesday, adding that most have been built since 2015 when Syria's civil war — and the migrant crisis — was at its height.
