Greece will not become a warehouse of souls, says Migration Minister Mouzalas
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
How much Europe is united, is the issue for Greece, stated on Thursday Greek Alternate Migration Minister Yiannis Mouzalas upon his arrival to the EU Interior Ministers meeting in Brussels.
Mouzalas underlined the 'special' importance of Thursday's meeting saying that for Greece the huge issue is, if Europe is united or not and how is possible.
The second issue is really odd because it is related on how they will handle a humanitarian crisis in Greece "that the same persons are going to create".
Concluding, Mouzalas said that "Greece will not accept unilateral actions. Unilateral actions can also be applied and from Greece. Greece will not become a new Lebanon for Europe, a warehouse of souls, even if this is strongly financed.
Fyrom authorities said on Thursday that they will allow the entrance to only 100 refugees.
Meanwhile, over 3,000 refugees are waiting at the refugees camp at Idomeni to cross the Greek-Fyrom border while 2,000 refugees are hosted at Diavata camp in Thessaloniki.
The authorities said that approximately 5,000 refugees are currently in buses in several parts of the country.
