The choice of no asylum is no longer eligible to be either voluntary return or reservation, the Minister of Immigration said
“There is a scales: on the one hand are the rights of someone who has been rejected asylum and is illegally in the country, and on the other are the rights of the Greeks who want to protect their country and want to fight illegal immigration. This scales are leaning in favor of the Greeks, whether you like it or you don’t like it, “the Minister of Migration and Asylum said from the House of Representatives. Thanos Plevris placed on the bill to reform the framework and the procedures for returning third -country citizens.
As Mr Plevris said, the choice of those who are no longer entitled to asylum will now be either the voluntary return or the detention. We will no longer enable some to get stuck and achieve a seven -year -old stay in Greece. The only option they will have is “if you will go five years in prison without suspension or if you will come back” He said characteristically.
About “how to move from now on” he said that services know whether someone has a refugee profile or not. For those who are in international protection, you must go to programs, not live with benefits, but that you will quickly join work. And so will a workforce. You did not come to Europe here to take a refugee property so that the European or Greek taxpayer would feed you. “said Mr. Plevris.
As for those who are not entitled to asylum, “to know what the consequences are, that those who have told you that Greece will be friendly. Know that they will be in administrative detention and surveillance. Know that it is a criminal offense and will go to prison. To know that they will never be legalized in the country, “the Minister of Immigration and Asylum underlined and asked: In this context, how many chances do you give more return? In the first case they left 10, in the second case they will leave 100. Why? Because they will have something to lose, Mr Plevris added. He also called on Members to visit the structures where there are not only oppressed but also “spoiled”. “The tables in the restaurant are screwed as there is a world that because they don’t like food, it throws the tables. Do you know that there are damage to open structures that in 20% -25% are intentional? There, we have, eating, drinking, having all the activities that exist, stadiums, etc., and can go from nine to nine … There are oppressed but there are many spoiled, who think that Europe owes them. “
At the same time, he said that the Ministry’s planning is to have a greater concentration of illegally entering the structures: “The Thermopylae is one of the structures we plan to close. The exact timetable that this structure will close will be said at the end of the year. Our logic is not to have the structures of 100 and 200 and 300 people, and to go to a philosophy that has a greater concentration. ” As for the Eastern Aegean islands and the Dodecanese, he said that they would never accept immigrants, more than the flows they receive, the islands themselves. There will be absolutely no world transfer from inland to the islands unless they are vulnerable groups, Mr Plevris said and called on the parties to answer: “If you are in favor of the return of illegal immigrants you have to vote. If you do not have to tell the Greek people … “.
