PM Tsipras slams EU over refugee crisis

"I feel ashamed by Europe's inability to deal effectively with this drama," added the prime minister, noting that he also feels ashamed by the discussion made at summit level. As he stated, "the tears poured today are hypocritical because it is not only the dead children who are washed ashore, it is also the children who are stacked on the road to exile."
 "Our primary task is to limit the humanitarian tragedy," he underlined. The prime minister added that as Greeks we know what being a refugee means, so our primary humanitarian duty is to save those lives and do our best in order to avoid similar incidents.
Moreover, Tsipras stressed the need to keep a stance in line with the European values and isolate extreme racist voices that exist in Greece and in Europe.
