Jorge Pizarro calls on Assembly members to protect (2)

Jorge Pizarro, President of the Latin American Parliament, on 29 September called on Assembly members to support changes in the European Union directive on migration so the human rights of immigrants are guaranteed. He said the directive criminalises immigrants and places them in a vulnerable situation.

Speaking at the Parliamentary Assembly, Jorge Pizarro pointed out on 29 September that inequity, exclusion and poverty in the world cannot be justified by the scarceness of resources or population growth. He expressed his concern that poverty is growing, and said Latin American countries have an important role to combat it, in addition to developed countries.
