“Present” from PASOK to Plevris amendment for migration – in favor of “no” Duke

PASOK is gearing up to the “present” on the government’s amendment to immigration. Late, however, in a televised interview, the Mayor of Athens, Haris Doukas, was different from the party’s “line”, demanding a clear rejection of the Plevris amendment.

Referring to the statements of the Minister of Immigration and Asylum, Mr Doukas spoke, among other things, of a “xenophobic delirium”. Asked if he agrees with PASOK’s decision to vote “present” to the amendment, Mr Doukas replied that “the” no “would be cleaner”.

The mayor of Athens and a member of the PASOK political center, speaking to Action 24, he added that his party should vote against, and when he was also asked whether the decision was discussed in the party bodies, he avoided a clear answer.

However, he in favor of the view of Evangelos Venizelos, who disagreed with the reasoning of the Plevri amendment. For the closed centers, he stressed that there were dignity standards, but added that the government’s narrative is generally extreme. “The invasion are extreme things,” said Doukas.

Earlier, the intention of PASOK not to support the government’s amendment to prevent hybrid threat with the invasion of thousands migrant Nikos Androulakis expressed from the coasts of Libya and North Africa, arguing that the arrangement serves communication games. Speaking to the House of Representatives, the PASOK President argued that the attempt to tool an immigration tool of the Hafetar regime does not have the same characteristics as what happened in 2020 in Evros and stressed: “We will vote” present “to the amendment because it does not. It’s a communication game. Others were the data in Evros, others are in Crete with Haftar. “

Mr Androulakis recalled that his party had supported the government’s attempt to face the hybrid threat of Evros, saying: “We publicly supported in every way that the Greek people and the government should not believe that our borders are. This is PASOK’s position. And this position was over time. We are a patriotic party. Not everyone can make a hybrid war with Greece to gain benefits from the European Union or from us, blackmail us. We want a harsh treatment, with respect to the human and the conventions that our country has signed. “

He added, however, that “in Evros, a few hundred, a few hundred, Mr. Plevris. You have probably forgotten Soylu’s game, I will remind you. Soilu then-who happened to meet him as a MEP and Vice-President of the Defense and Security Committee four days before Evros, when it was the first issue of deterioration by the Erdogan government refugee-migrant-set up a show. As they spent 1,000, he said on his twitter that 300,000 had passed. Did you forget it? Who was right, he or we? Obviously few passed. Are we in the same phase? Here we are talking about something else. Evros is otherwise controlled, more easily, and with more difficulties the maritime borders. Then, the suspension helped you because they were very few. When the flow that comes today is 80%, immigrants mainly from Egypt and Bangladesh, – with which there are bilateral agreements – which is the biggest disincentive? Is the immediate return to their countries. Yes or no? “

Regarding PASOK’s position, he said the solution is to accelerate asylum examination procedures.
