For two categories of control over the NGO spoken by the Minister of Immigration and Asylum, Thanos Plahris stressing that the government’s immigration policy in the country and not these organizations.
“The ministry is basically working with NGOs and huge NGOs. I want to do two categories of control over NGOs. The first is first of all the management. That is, at this time the money is given by the ministry beyond the regular checks we do to give we will make more targeted. The key we are interested in is that NGOs cannot chart politics. Migration policy in the country is carved by the government, and the government decides that we want to reduce flows right now and increase returns, “Mr Plevris said, speaking to the Open.
“NGOs who have every right to function on the basis of their purpose can also participate in ministry programs. If they themselves want to chart a policy that tells you that I want to make Greece a country of open borders and talk to the circuits that bring immigrants in the name that everything is open, these NGOs will be controlled, “he said. Referring to the reasons for the increase in controls, he said: “I see funds that are moving, these funds I want to see their feasibility is not enough for me to come and say what he was doing.”
“I don’t want to be demonized,” he said later and explained that “there are NGOs that are our main partner. There are others we see that we want to justify the money they get in a clearer way and is the money of the Greek and the European taxpayer how they are used. “
“What impresses me that I see a sudden announcement from SYRIZA because there will be a management control, a statement from a series of NGOs because they will be checked,” Mr Plevris added.
The new bill
He recalled that tomorrow the bill on the illegal immigration to the committees will come to Parliament and will be voted on next week. “The key elements of the bill we need to know are that the illegal stay in the country is criminalized. That is, when asylum is rejected in someone, we do not just have the administrative expulsion. We will have a criminal offense with a prison sentence of up to five years, where the one who has been illegitimate will have the choice or to serve a prison sentence or to return. “
“Our goal is to have asylum only for those who are entitled to and returns for everyone else so that the country completely controls the flows,” he said with emphasis on the legislative initiative and the effectiveness of the Ministry of Migration’s actions.
Fire in Tsipras and SYRIZA
“SYRIZA’s rule on criminal crime is linked to two basic ‘incisions’. First Paraskevopoulos’ law where for the first time the very cruel crime came out with very privileged sentences with a fifth sentence, that is, someone who had been sentenced to 15 and 20 years went to 1-5 of the sentence instead of the 3-5 that was in force there until then. And the second part was his criminal code that took place a week before the elections were held where the total penalties were reduced. Typically to tell you that the rape went from 20 years and life imprisonment that was basic penalties at the top 10 and 15 years and all crimes have ceased to be a unique life sentence, “the minister noted.
Regarding the possible return of Alexis Tsipras and if she worries the government he said that “it is not about the New Democracy. It will concern the conditions that exist in a SYRIZA party and in PASOK obviously because they are similar places we are watching. At the moment they seem that these parties are in the process of fermenting for a long time. “
