“We will not tolerate invasion by boats from North Africa. Neither the country, nor the rest of Europe,” declared the Minister of Migration and Asylum, Thanos Plevris, speaking today (10/07) on SKAI television about increased migration flows, emphasizing that “the issue is that whoever manages to cross the borders should not send a message on their mobile phone saying ‘guys, everything’s fine here, we made it in'”. “There is a way to stop the boats with migrants, we are working on it,” he emphasized.
Plevris: I ordered evaluation of benefits given to foreigners – I requested to stop the Helios program
“We will not tolerate invasion by boats from North Africa. Neither the country, nor the rest of Europe. What is happening now is not normal migration flow. Do we want to replace our population in Europe? Greece will not allow this,” he added.
“I have already ordered the evaluation of all benefits given to foreigners, as well as the menu provided at the facilities, which is currently hotel-standard. Personally, I requested to stop the Helios program,” he further emphasized.
