minister of National Defence Dimitris Vitsa and the Greek Army takes to serves the of 18,000 refugees and undocumented migrants in Eidomeni after the departure of most NGOS had undertaken to do this job (they are paid handsomely by the EU).
The withdrawal of Non-Governmental Organizations from Eidomeni came as a result of the uprising in Ï€ÏοσφυγοÏπολη and fear for the safety of their members. At the same time, the government’s aim is to complete directly the planned accommodation centres, and to expand the already existing, in order to be transferred to those refugees and immigrants who are in Eidomeni and Piraeus.
The second objective of the government is the 2,000 refugees who came last weekend to the islands and cannot be returned to Turkey under the agreement of Sunday to be transferred and those in the accommodation centres of continental Greece, in order for the infrastructure on the islands to greet the new waves! But it’s a question of how you will manage the Armed Forces to feed and water to 18,000 people who receive three meals a day. And how much staff will be allocated. For 54.000 meals a day, and even ready-made to come the food takes at least 500 people to give it away…
Last week they came 40.000.000 euro financial assistance from the EU for the expenditure they have done up until today, the ED in the management of the refugee problem. This amount will be returned to the budget.
Gone are the NGOS from Eidomeni and the Army…
