The Minister of Immigration and Asylum, Thanos PlevrisIt referred to the latest migratory flows from Libya and the transportation of 247 foreigners to detention centers, the timetable for the creation of a closed structure in Crete and the new Pact of the European Union, which will enter into force in 2026.
Speaking to Mega, Mr. Plevris, a few hours before leaving for Copenhagen to give the “present” to the Council of Ministers of Migration initially, noted that “The Ministry of Immigration is responsible for the flows as soon as they reach land. The struggle of the municipal authorities and the Port is specific. We try to choose other routes by applying deterrent measures. The 247 immigrants from Libya are under detention, without being entitled to asylum. They pick up the phone and say they are held, not that they are hosted. This is very important to us and we insist. We should have three organized spaces in Crete so that the phenomenon is not identified in the ports“, Speaking to Mega.
«The areas of Crete are temporarily operating until the transfer of immigrants to the structures. This can take a few days. Where the police indicate us, the structures will be made, in a discussion with local communities and will be closed. With the technical services we saw the spaces, it is not easy to create the structures at the time we wanted. The mayors have mentioned that we are proceeding with the three existing structures and the planning remains to create a closed structure.
Time is over the semester in fact, with the procedures provided for by the European Union. Inland there will be no new structure. Some of them, which meet the criteria (fence, cameras, etc.) will be delivered to the police“, He even pointed out.
Referring to the European Union’s new Pact on Migration, which will enter into force on July 1, 2026, Mr Plevris stressed that irregular migrants would be led to third countries and will not be held in Member States.
«Today, I am leaving for Copenhagen for the Council of Ministers of Migration. Currently, in Europe, the conversation is about two key issues: increasing returns and closed centers in third countries outside the European Union. These are positions that Kyriakos Mitsotakis had expressed since 2019, but then there was a perception of “how will you integrate them and how will you solve issues?” They didn’t hear that the flows are so large that we should go to innovative solutions. These centers will be funded by the European Union and from there will be the asylum procedure.“, He underlined.
