Tens of thousands of immigrants will be trapped in Greece

"The natural flow of things will trap a manageable number of refugees in Greece in the order of a few tens of thousands. When you close the border and  the message reaches Morocco that they reach Europe but are detained and repatriated, then the flow will stop," Mouzalas told SKAI television.

Mouzalas said among other things that now only one in two who enters Greece is a refugee. "Those who go to Greece from the Turkish coast are 50% illegal immigrants and 50% are refugees when two months ago the ratio was 80% refugees and 20% illegal immigrants."

At the same time he said that for immigrants there are three possibilities:

to seek asylum,
understand that there is no future here and request repatriation
be forced to repatriate but this is difficult because countries like Pakistan don't respond.
