Mitsotakis: Refugee crisis in Greece out of control

"The refugee issue is out of control, the situation is even more tragic, the economy is sustained with external means, society is boiling, nothing is moving forward, the country is close to zero," he said, adding: "The only one who sees things differently is the person who led the country to that situation. Tsipras' interview on Monday was revealing and worrying. Mr Tsipras has lost control when the country needs to be governed."

He also said he is in favour of the political leaders' meeting so that a national policy to reduce the harm being done on the country is drafted.

"We are working with all our strength to restore the prestige of the country. The government needs to get serious and agree on Friday on an efficient action plan to address the crisis," he added.
