United Macedonians: "Migrants are not so hungry, they have iPhones"

Featured United Macedonians: "Migrants are not so hungry, they have iPhones"

Organizers appear determined to proceed to the Diavata barbecue opposite the refugee and immigrant housing structure,with the head of the "United Macedonians" movement Dimitris Ziabasis blaming the state for delay in responding.

Speaking on the Open television station, he spoke of a problem that is bothering northern Greece. Asked what the the barbecue initiative is aiming at, he said that refugees and immigrants "would not say they are so hungry and destitute. They are well-dressed in expensive clothes, with iPhones, with WiFi that do not come from war zones and throw away the food they give them from catering because they don't like it. ”

"Most come with a fortune seeking purpose", he noted, "they are not poor, they give money to slave traders" and called for "selective humanism" to be stopped. He also called for local referendums in local communities on whether they want a hotspot, "look at Rhodes," he said.

Ziabasis also said that, "it has become a huge business" and called for "NGOs to go there to help them". "We will be at a safe distance, we do not want to provoke as much as some people think," he said of the organized barbecue.

Finally, he said that "they have come here and have a different culture and way of thinking. Wherever they have gone in Europe, not only have they not been assimilated, they have been ghettoized and enforced their own rules. And then we see bombings, etc. Do you know how many girls have been attacked in Kilkis? "
