BRUSELAS, B\u00e9lgica \u2014 El Parlamento Europeo aprob\u00f3 una resoluci\u00f3n el 12 de febrero condenando en\u00e9rgicamente la expulsi\u00f3n de misioneros cristianos por parte de Turqu\u00eda bajo lo que los legisladores describieron como pretextos opacos de \u201cseguridad nacional\u201d. La resoluci\u00f3n insta a la capital, Ankara, a respetar la libertad de religi\u00f3n y permitir el regreso de los afectados.<\/p>\n

El Parlamento Europeo, la legislatura elegida directamente por la UE, representa a m\u00e1s de 450 millones de ciudadanos en 27 estados miembros.<\/p>\n

La resoluci\u00f3n fue aprobada con 502 votos a favor, dos en contra y 59 abstenciones, tras un debate parlamentario a \u00faltima hora del mi\u00e9rcoles, lo que refleja una amplia preocupaci\u00f3n interpartidista sobre el trato a los trabajadores religiosos cristianos extranjeros.<\/p>\n

Misioneros se\u00f1alados como \u2018amenaza a la seguridad nacional\u2019<\/h2>\n

Durante el debate, el miembro holand\u00e9s del Parlamento Europeo, Bert-Jan Ruissen, describi\u00f3 la situaci\u00f3n que enfrentan los misioneros en Turqu\u00eda en t\u00e9rminos crudos.<\/p>\n

\u201cTraes las buenas nuevas del Evangelio, el mensaje de paz y reconciliaci\u00f3n a trav\u00e9s de Jesucristo. Entonces eres considerado una amenaza para la seguridad nacional y ya no se te permite ingresar al pa\u00eds. Esa es la dura realidad de los misioneros que trabajan en Turqu\u00eda\u201d, dijo Ruissen.<\/p>\n

Inst\u00f3 a las autoridades turcas a \u201ctomar en serio la libertad de religi\u00f3n\u201d, a\u00f1adiendo que a medida que la UE fortalece su compromiso con Ankara, debe hablar claramente sobre los derechos fundamentales. <\/p>\n

\n

C\u00f3mo se utiliza la planificaci\u00f3n urbana para socavar las instituciones cristianas en Turqu\u00eda<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cTurqu\u00eda debe dejar de atacar a las iglesias, garantizar la libertad de religi\u00f3n o creencias y permitir que los cristianos compartan su fe libremente\u201d, dijo.<\/p>\n

Al menos 160 trabajadores cristianos extranjeros expulsados o con entrada denegada<\/h2>\n

Seg\u00fan ADF International<\/a>, al menos 160 trabajadores cristianos extranjeros, junto con sus familias, han sido expulsados de Turqu\u00eda o se les ha denegado el reingreso en los \u00faltimos a\u00f1os, a menudo despu\u00e9s de vivir y servir en el pa\u00eds durante d\u00e9cadas.<\/p>\n

A muchos de los afectados se les emitieron los llamados c\u00f3digos administrativos \u201cN-82\u201d, una clasificaci\u00f3n de seguridad nacional utilizada para impedir que las personas regresen. ADF International informa que estas prohibiciones a menudo se aplican sin explicaci\u00f3n p\u00fablica o recurso legal efectivo, dejando a los misioneros incapaces de impugnar su exclusi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

Aproximadamente 20 casos relacionados se encuentran actualmente ante el Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos, donde los solicitantes cuestionan la legalidad de las expulsiones y las restricciones de reingreso, seg\u00fan ADF International.<\/p>\n

La resoluci\u00f3n<\/a> adoptada pide a las autoridades turcas que garanticen que las medidas de seguridad nacional no se apliquen arbitrariamente e insta a Turqu\u00eda a respetar las obligaciones internacionales de derechos humanos, incluidas las protecciones para la libertad de religi\u00f3n o creencias.<\/p>\n

El ministerio de exteriores de Turqu\u00eda seg\u00fan se informa<\/a> rechaz\u00f3 la resoluci\u00f3n el 13 de febrero, diciendo que las afirmaciones sobre la libertad de expresi\u00f3n y religi\u00f3n \u201ccontradicen los hechos\u201d y que \u201cninguna instituci\u00f3n extranjera, incluido el Parlamento Europeo, puede interferir en los procedimientos judiciales llevados a cabo en nuestro pa\u00eds\u201d.<\/p>\n

La resoluci\u00f3n pone en riesgo a\u00fan m\u00e1s las relaciones entre la UE y Turqu\u00eda<\/h2>\n

La resoluci\u00f3n se produce en medio de tensiones de larga data entre la UE y Turqu\u00eda sobre preocupaciones de derechos humanos y estado de derecho. A pesar de tener el estatus oficial de candidato a la UE desde 1999, la candidatura de Turqu\u00eda para unirse al bloque se ha estancado efectivamente.<\/p>\n

El Parlamento Europeo ha planteado repetidamente preocupaciones sobre el trato a periodistas, actores de la sociedad civil y minor\u00edas religiosas en el pa\u00eds. La votaci\u00f3n del jueves a\u00f1ade la expulsi\u00f3n de misioneros cristianos a la lista de temas bajo escrutinio parlamentario.<\/p>\n

Aunque las resoluciones del Parlamento Europeo no son legalmente vinculantes, la resoluci\u00f3n adoptada tiene peso pol\u00edtico, se\u00f1alando la postura de la UE sobre la libertad de religi\u00f3n e instando a la Comisi\u00f3n Europea y al Servicio Europeo de Acci\u00f3n Exterior, el servicio diplom\u00e1tico de la UE, a plantear el tema ante las autoridades turcas.<\/p>\n

El miembro croata del Parlamento Europeo, Tomislav Sokol, hablando durante el debate, enmarc\u00f3 las expulsiones de Turqu\u00eda dentro de un desaf\u00edo global m\u00e1s amplio a la libertad religiosa. Destac\u00f3 la persecuci\u00f3n continua de cristianos en Nigeria, incluidos asesinatos generalizados y la destrucci\u00f3n de iglesias. Advirti\u00f3 que las expulsiones de Turqu\u00eda representan una forma de persecuci\u00f3n diferente pero igualmente grave, que incluye prohibiciones administrativas, deportaciones, cierres de iglesias y denegaci\u00f3n de protecci\u00f3n legal. A\u00f1adi\u00f3: \u201cNuestra credibilidad se mide por nuestra voluntad de defender la libertad de religi\u00f3n en todas partes y sin dobles raseros\u201d.<\/p>\n
