"Everything is useless: France blocks access also to him, to him who is a minor, actually, in a technical language, a non-Accompanied Foreign Minor"...

The “European Migration Governance” heading is authored by OSVALDO COSTANTINI, an associate researcher at the Center for Religious Sciences of the Bruno Kessler Foundation, which is involved in the "lifestyle and conflicts" research lines. Within this interest, he moves between scientific publications and public press releases, especially in relation to those aspects of the migration more closely related to the imaginations, the desires, and also the frustrations that move the actions of these new “damned of the earth”.
