I can already imagine the same people cheering for this and being absolutely outraged that the fat orange racist Trump would do the same to central american refugees. Kinda surprised not to see them in this comment section yet.

I mean the USA does bear some responsibility for the Central Americans since they destabilized many of those countries. What has Greece done to North Africa? Plus outside Libya all the North African countries are quite stable, and even Libya has a fragile peace at the moment.

Greece participated in numerous NATO "missions" in Africa, for example in Somalia, and helped finance others. We all know these missions were TOTALLY for the goof of the people there and ABSOLUTELY not to make sure countries are forced to align with western (american) interests).

Even if that isn't enough for you, remember that your argument doesn't hold up for multiple EU countries. France, UK, Belgium, even countries such as Portugal have contributed to the degradation and exploatation of Africa, some of them continued until the early 1970's. France helped fuck up Libya just some 15 years ago.

So even if I acknowledge your point about Greece, the argument falls for a variety of different countries.

You see my friend, the thing is that it is quite easy to point out the wrongs in other people's ways but quite difficult at your own. This is pretty much the stereotype of the European who calls Americans racists, but if he were to say out loud what his honest opinion is about the gypsies and the Africans he would probably get multiple life sentences in jail for hate speech. It would be pretty funny if it wasn't European exceptionalism

Gypsies and Africans? Not even. Anything east of the average european's home country gets the axe

That's probably because those people don't know what Africa is and where it is located, not even speaking of Greece. Is that dome kind of cheese? Never heard of that, damn

Greece to suspend asylum applications for migrants arriving from north Africa

[InTime News]

Greece will temporarily suspend the processing of asylum applications for migrants arriving by sea from North Africa, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis told Parliament on Wednesday, citing a sharp increase in irregular arrivals.

The legislative measure, to be submitted to Parliament on Thursday, will initially pause applications for a period of three months. Mitsotakis described it as a “necessary, temporary response,” based on the same legal framework used during the 2020 migration crisis at the Evros border with Turkey.

“Those who enter the country illegally will be arrested and detained,” Mitsotakis said in his address to lawmakers, adding that the current situation “requires extraordinary measures.”

The government also plans to establish a new closed reception facility on the southern island of Crete to help manage the influx locally, with the option of creating a second center if necessary.

Talks are ongoing with both the internationally recognized government of Libya and the rival administration in eastern Libya, Mitsotakis said. He added that Greece’s armed forces are ready to cooperate with Libyan authorities to prevent migrant boats from departing.

“In coordination with Libyan officials, we are prepared to stop these vessels before they reach international waters, or ensure their return to their point of origin,” he said.
