“Increase by 134% in Libya flows,” the shipping minister said
“To date, figures show a 17% decrease in migrant flows compared to 2024. However, I must say that there is a 134% increase in arrivals from the Libyan Sea to Gavdos, Crete, Kaso, Rhodes, etc., due to destabilization in Sudan and Sudanese.

And I will continue to say that we do not serve the three, four or forty -four big businessmen who, if you will, are investing abroad, multinational companies. And these, yes, but mainly the majority of Greek society, those people who struggle and walked with us step by step. “
