Ucezu olusha lomthetho wase-Europe lubheke ekushintsheni okukhulu endleleni amalayisense okushayela aphathwa ngayo kuyo yonke iNyunyana, okuqubula inkulumompikiswano phakathi kwabashayeli bayo yonke iminyaka. Umnyombo wengxabano kukhona isiphakamiso engabona isiphetho amalayisensi okushayela impilo yonke, edinga ukuthi abashayeli bahlolelwe udokotela njalo ngemva kweminyaka eyishumi nanhlanu ukuze bagcine amalayisensi abo esemthethweni.
Lolu shintsho oluhlongozwayo luyingxenye yesichibiyelo sama-21 somyalelo welayisensi yokushayela wase-Europe, okuhloswe ngawo ukuhambisana nomgomo we-Brussels “Vision Zero”. Lolu hlelo oluhlosiwe luhlose ukuqeda ukufa okuhlobene nomgwaqo ngo-2050. Nakuba ukufa kwabantu emigwaqweni kwehle kakhulu kusuka ku-51,400 ngo-2001 kuya ku-19,800 ngo-2021 kulo lonke elaseYurophu, inqubekela phambili iye yaba nkulu eminyakeni yamuva, okwenza kube nesidingo sezinyathelo ezintsha.
Njengamanje, amazwe anjenge-Italy nePortugal adinga ukuhlolwa kodokotela kubashayeli abaqala eminyakeni engama-50, iSpain neGreece iqala ku-65, iDenmark ineminyaka engama-70, neNetherlands ineminyaka engama-75. Ngokuphambene, iFrance, iJalimane, iBelgium nePoland ivumela abashayeli ukuthi babambe. amalayisensi abo ukuphila ngaphandle kwezidingo ezinjalo. Umyalelo omusha we-EU, ogqugquzelwa yi-French Green MEP u-Karima Delli, ufuna ukwenza inqubo ibe sezingeni emazweni onke angamalungu, igcizelela ukuthi lesi sinyathelo akusona esobudala kodwa kuyindlela yokuqinisekisa ukufaneleka komshayeli.
Abafundisi bokushayela abafana noThomas Marchetto babona ukufaneleka kulesi siphakamiso, begqamisa lokho impilo enhle akuhlali kulinganisa nokushayela okuphephile. Kodwa-ke, abashayeli abaningi abadala bazizwa beqondiswe kakhulu kulolu shintsho, naphezu kweziqinisekiso zokuthi lesi sinyathelo sihlose ukuthuthukisa ukuphepha emgwaqeni kubo bonke. Abashayeli abasebancane, ngakolunye uhlangothi, bayasamukela lesi sinyathelo, bekubona njengesinyathelo esidingekayo sokuhlola ukukhalipha komshayeli namandla.
Le nkulumompikiswano isiqubule ukuphikiswa okukhulu, lapho izinhlangano ezifana “nabashayeli bezimoto abayizigidi ezingama-40” bethula izicelo ezinjengokuthi “Ungayithinti Ilayisensi Yami.” La maqembu aphikisa ngokuthi ukuhoxisa amalungelo okushayela ngaphandle kokuphulwa, ngokusekelwe kuphela ekuhloleni kodokotela, akulungile futhi kubandlulula abashayeli ngokusekelwe eminyakeni nempilo.
Ukwengeza ku-chorus yokuphikisa, UMEP Maxette Pirbakas uzwakalise ukukhathazeka kwakhe ku-Twitter, egqamisa izinselelo eziyingqayizivele abahlanganyeli bakhe ababhekene nazo e-French Antilles:
“Ku-@Europarl_EN, ngisayine ngokuhlanganyela isichibiyelo ukuze nginqabe lo mbhalo oweqisayo ozoholela ekuhoxisweni kwamalayisensi okushayela abantu abangenzanga phutha. Ekhaya lami e-Antilles, lapho inethiwekhi yezokuthutha zomphakathi i-embryonic, ukungabi namoto kufana nokufa komphakathi. Le nqubomgomo emelene nezimoto iqhubekela phambili ngaphandle kokubheka amaqiniso asemaphethelweni nasezindaweni zasemakhaya.”
Njengoba iPhalamende LaseYurophu lilungiselela ukudingida lo mthethosivivinywa ngoFebhuwari 27, kulandela ukufundwa kwawo okokuqala ngoDisemba, ikusasa lamalayisensi okushayela e-EU lilenga esilinganisweni. Lo mthetho ohlongozwayo uvuse ingxoxo mayelana nokuphepha, ukucwasa, kanye nelungelo lokuhamba, nabathintekayo kuzo zonke izinhlangothi belungiselela inkulumo-mpikiswano eshubile.
Isitatimende sikaPirbakas sigcizelela imithelela ebanzi yomthetho, ikakhulukazi kulabo abahlala ezindaweni lapho ezokuthutha zomphakathi zilinganiselwe noma zingekho, egcizelela isidingo sezinqubomgomo ezicabangela izimo ezihlukahlukene zazo zonke izakhamuzi ze-EU.
