Tonight the Greek Costguard chased a boat carrying migrants and refugees on Chios island.
15 people murdered (confirmed by the official report) and many more wounded.

This has happened before, will happen again.
EU tolerates, funds and thus is also responsible for militarized borders and turning Mediterranean sea to a graveyard.

Speaking with FRANCE 24's Sharon Gaffney, Martin Hullin, Director of the Network for Technological Resilience and Sovereignty at the Bertelsmann Stiftung, says that the US political coercion through big tech firms provides 'an opportunity for Europe to look into not only funding alternatives but actually strategising on how we would like to have technology serve societies and not the other way round'.
