Francken Buiten – Francken Dégage
Watching this video from a train, I would really have liked to be there and shake hands to each and every one of the lovely persons who were there, showing their active support for migrants.

Sarebbe bello avere una soluzione, difenderla e provare a metterla in pratica, ma purtroppo non ne abbiamo una. Nessun governo può permettersi di lasciar crescere e proliferare gli accampamenti di rifugiati nel centro di Parigi.
