Interior Min Kouroumblis describes the situation at Idomeni as a "modern Dachau"

Interior Minister Panagiotis Kouroumblis, who visited Idomeni on Friday, said the conditions at the refugee camps remind of a "modern Dachau."

Kouroumblis pledged to improve the health system and the policing of the area while he urged refugees to be transferred to accommodation centers.
"The situation here reminds of a modern Dachau and this is a result of closed borders. We believed in a Europe of open borders, a Europe which has constantly in mind that the blood shed because of nationalism should not be shed again. Europe, unfortunately, sees again the rise of a peculiar nationalism towards persecuted people. And a Europe of 580 million inhabitants hesitates to absorb 1.0-1.5 million people who were forced to leave their country because of a war in which Europe also participated and Europe," Kouroumblis noted.
