Josep Borrell suggested that Europe was a garden in the middle of the global jungle. In reality, as sometimes happens, the rhetorical slips of a political figure disfigure a message of profound content.
The EU is founded on principles and values that constitute a project of a humanity that is respectful of humans and our natural environment. The practice of these values depends on what cultures and institutions make up the EU, writes Borrell. But when talking about immigration, very different cultures and habits are mixed, he says.
