  • I started walking ten years ago. Where I come from it is not so easy to receive visas, not so easy to just go where you want if you need to leave. So I was thinking, since they do not give me a visa I just start crossing the borders illegally. I just started walking, and it is now 10 years that I left my country. I only arrived in Europe five months ago. Now that I have arrived in Europe I find out that I have to continue walking. I have not arrived yet. We feel very discriminated against in Europe, that is why we are walking in protest.

  • The idea that we could be equal one day. I can feel it at this march that it does not matter where you are from, what’s your skin colour. We are all marching for the same goal, for the same message. Refugees all over Europe are facing the same struggle. It gives me courage to see that so many people are joining the march.

  • I walk to oppose the repressive closing of the borders and the restriction of movement for refugees. I oppose the repressive Dublin laws and I want to remember all the people that died crossing into Europe

  • As a refugee you see many bad things in Europe. Many things that are different from our lifestyle. Today I am a little citizen, which has papers but I do not know for how long. <br />
If I would not have lived through war I would have never come here.

  • I want to show solidarity for refugees. I want to support the people who have lost their children in the Mediterranean. I also want to give a message to European people that migration is not a crime and that refugees pose no danger

  • I joined the march to protest against being sent back to the country you gave your fingerprints. These are poor countries that can not provide basic help to refugees.

  • I take part in this march because I want the Schengen System to change. The world is changing and so Schengen needs to change too.

  • For me taking part in this march is a commitment for the right to life. I came over from my country in Africa only to support the march and my brothers. When I say brothers I do not mean only my blood brothers, but everyone who supports this march: the students, the activists, the migrants, the citizens of all the countries we cross. I joined to give European citizens the message that their freedom is closely linked to ours.

  • For me it is self evident that I take part in this march when my friends are threatened with deportation. It is such an injustice that people who are born somewhere else than I am, are treated differently. It is quite natural that I will do everything in my power to help them

  • I take part in this march for freedom and for no borders. I want an end to the Dublin Convention

  • Hundreds of Eritrean refugees have recently arrived in Lampedusa. They are protesting against their fingerprints being taken in Lampedusa. They want to be able to move on to other European countries, and are aware that once they have given their fingerprints, they can not go to any other country.
