different idea

I don't think so. If this would cause even one drop of sweat for Teeven he would refuse to do it (oh sorry my schedule doesnt allow it). It is in his interest otherwise he would never accept to do this. I think it is very naive to think anything else.
Teeven really doesn't care, we know that by now. I think he is laughing his ass off that he is asked to do this. He will enjoy it.

2. I also don't understand what Christians have to do with this academic event. And actually already for quite some years Christian organisations are active on this topic: http://www.protestantsamsterdam.nl/diaconie/nieuws-a-agenda/1152-herdenk...
3. Also already for years there is a lot of attention to the people drowning, in the mainstream media. People know about it. But EU and Frontex get away with it.
4. Recently there were quite some initiatives for extra rescue operations: by states (first Italy/EU: Mare Nostrum, now EU/Frontex: Triton) and by private initiatives like: http://www.moas.eu/ and http://www.ad.nl/ad/nl/1014/Bizar/article/detail/3779708/2014/10/31/Die-...

So I think that the expectation from the broader public and voters that polticians take humanitarian action already exists for some time, and politicians already included this in new strategies. Actually Frontex has always been using the lie that it is about saving lives in their propaganda machinery, to cover what they are actually doing.

The real problem is that it is not about saving lives, it is about opening the borders, let people migrate. So nobody has to die, people can travel without putting themself into risk, just like we EU passport holders can do. And that is of course what no politician wants to discuss nor hear anything about. And I would be very (positively) surprised if an academic next Monday dares to conclude this in the research. That would be revolutionary and useful. The discussion about saving lives and some humanitarian blabla from Teeven and in the same time the usual propaganda to have the borders well closed, is just really not worth listening to and a big offense that Teeven gets a stage for this in a so called critical academic setting.
