REFUGEE STATUS

Seven days in part of the saddest moments in the life of Nicolas Sourivongxay falling down. 

First of all, let's clarify Nicolas is not a Refugee in Argentina. He was born in Avellaneda, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, even so he has been mistreated like a foreign visitor. 

His parents are, but not anymore since they got married in Argentina and they got the nationalization, even so stigmas prevailed through decades and decades, generation by generation.

It's really a hard year for Nicolas, bad events months by months since January 2023 and let's not forget the previous years, but let's focus on this year, so read the articles on this blog 

This is a part of the document issued in Uruguay for Nicolas' request asking for Refugee Condition escaping from Argentina. 

According to the articles of the Human Rights of the United Nations, the article 14 says: 

"Everyone has the right to seek and to enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution. This right may not be invoked in the case of prosecutions genuinely arising from non-political crimes or from acts contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations."

The article is clear about Persecution. In the case of Nicolas is about Police persecution due to political ideology in addition to all consequences of the rejection on the society in terns of labour dependent market and education in presence since 2013.

Nicolas fulfill the requirements at 100%.  It includes Justice persecution and inaction.

During these seven days, the intention of Nicolas to restore Justice Values failed when the Court, the maximum authority rejected the claim of Nicolas protecting the Judges' veridics. 

The decision of the Court that contains five pages is a legal document available on the LinkedIn profile of Nicolas Sourivongxay

Then Nicolas answered the email by saying: 

"Everything went unpunished, it was to be expected. No Argentine psychopath would accept the blame. Economic interests above rectitude and the law." 

Because they are protecting their own jobs in the Justice System by dismissing the fair claims of Nicolas. They don't care about doing justice, to keep their money is more important for them. 

Why Nicolas came back to Argentina? 

Nicolas applied for refugee status, he tried to do the papers but there is a cruel reality concerning the life of Refugees at a first stage. 

What stopped the asylum process in Uruguay was the housing problem. The shelters where Nicolas would have to spend the night were precarious and he would hang out with the destitute people who live on the streets. The economic and social condition was very low compared to the life that Nicolas had in Argentina with income from his father's retirement by family agreement.

However, this not the a bad intention to write trash about Uruguayan government actions. When you arrive in Uruguay requesting Refuge status, the advice on procedures is impeccable, there are people working very well, however, the problem is the housing condition. And this happens in most of the countries in the world, even in the first world, in which they offer tents and containers instead of houses or buildings with roofs and heating.

In the USA, the famous boarder

Nicolas Sourivongxay visited relevant places in Uruguay

If the US Embassy in Argentina wouldn't have rejected Nicolas' ViSA Tourism attempt (June 2023) and VISA Lottery Attempt (May 2023), he would be a Refugee in the USA  at this moment but without problem of housing because he has a contact in the USA. The United States of America is the only one country in the world he could escape without having problems of housing there. The inclusion process would be less complicated due to the contact. 

Unfortunately, Nicolas didn't have any contact like that in Uruguay, so instead of living in a medium class place, he would be turn poor living in refugees houses with poor, destitute people. 

Many people died in the sea reaching Europe, those people had hope and dreams. How important is having a job to solve their economic problems. In the world a lot of people applaud billionaires of tech companies. Two different realities. 

Let's remember Alan Kurdi who rest in peace in heaven. You think it's cruel from me as a writer to show this photo but it's public content published on Wikipedia but most cruel is the life of Refugees and Asylum Seekers

And Nicolas returned Argentina with sadness on July 18th, 2023 by boat.
