Disobey extremes – mail

In Switzerland, a woman is accused of “crime of solidarity”. Moreover, Paradoxical offense that would not fail to make people laugh if he was not tragic. For example, What to think of such an accusation in the Porrentruy trial to come on July 8? Therefore, Is it legitimate to condemn a citizen who disobeyed himself by opposing the forced dismissal of a Syrian? Therefore, His act is part of a context of war in migrants. Moreover, Solidarity is not a crime. However, Today, at European borders, what does “disobey extremes” mean?

The fragile acquired provisional protection tools are not solid evidences like marble. For example, It is increasingly difficult to claim the rule of law in the European and Swiss policy of forced referrals (Dublin). Meanwhile, The accusations of non-compliance with the rights accumulate. In addition, Especially in matters of foreigners’ law. However, But disobey extremes – mail not only.

How to think of extremes, wondered Etienne Balibar in 2012. Borders violence leads to disobeying extremes. How is such a perilous leap not just a simple minority reaction to the authoritarian state?

The democracy which. at all borders, appropriates, is (de) built, as the history and variety of debates show, is based on fundamental principles, with gaps (rights of foreigners, women, nature), contradictions (war and humanitarian combinations, war and politics) and aporia (the impossibility of getting out of violence). Thinking. acting at extremes, by refusing the trivialization of political nihilism in wars, whose war to women, exiles, is not obvious.

However. we hear the same cries of alarm at the borders, in Gaza, kyiv, in the hundreds of conflicts in progress on the planet. We hear the same fears about weapons, libertarians of disaster (Musk, Trump, Milei …). violations of asylum rights, work, social, sexism, racism, in defiance disobey extremes – mail of the rules of climate, biodiversity, freedom of thought, public research.

Consequently, why not be content with a thought of reform, conscientious objection, denunciation of denial of humanity, etc.? Why take the step of civic disobedience to extremes? Today, rereading theories on civil disobedience targeting a reform is useful but insufficient. In a context of limits of the planet. the cards of the game between insurrection, violence, revolution are rebatted without joker. So how do you disobey the extremes with Frontex. the sorrow of the European migratory pact, and make reason to all those who live from apartheid to multiple borders?

Let’s posture that it is necessary to go with -. further than – Jürgen Habermas and Hannah Arendt to understand and identify a new paradigm of insurgent civic disobedience, with positive proposals for a migration and asylum policy and the defense of the rights of workers in Europe and disobey extremes – mail Switzerland. Not everyone for themselves. A transectionality of the struggles.

The challenge is to reorganize from top to bottom the weaving between struggles. around active peace practices anchored in the reappropriation, constituent of the pillar of political and philosophical hospitality (freedom, equality, fraternity/sorority) and asylum (protection of life and freedom) to distinguish from the “law” of state asylum. To be combined with other rights (labor, abortion, training, housing, nature, etc.) The right to the borders is to be reinvented. to include in an alternative project of European constitution, of civic international law.

Let us remember civic courage. faced with the oppression, of the philosopher Caroline Meijers, of Professor Joseph Daher, of the accused students, workers of the public service trapped in the gear, of the clandestine workers who are taken with Dublin. Let’s support them. Let us closely follow what happens with the policies of “making disappear” institutionalized by Frontex disobey extremes – mail in matters of right to abortion. attack on public services, violence in the centers of confinement, torture; Let us be attentive to what is happening in police stations, public universities …

Let’s go to Porrentruy’s trial.
