Marinakis for Migration: Numbers written on mass returns have nothing to do with reality

The government spokesman was asked about Germany’s attitude and the fence in Evros in informing the political editors. The government representative recalled that the country’s image today is different with regard to immigration as the number of migrants has decreased and structures are rapidly moving forward with asylum applications. “It is not one of the citizens’ biggest problems because the government followed another immigration policy and annoys some who have their own agenda. We will continue to guard our borders and regulate asylum applications. This will not change and it cannot fail to implement the new pact on immigration and asylum there are agreed and for which Greece has starred. The river does not go back and Greece will not make the problem of another country its own,” she said. Regarding the reports reporting on the return of tens of thousands of immigrants to our country from Germany he said: “The numbers written are far from reality have virtually nothing to do with reality. It is worth comparing what is happening in Greece and other European countries. Some press on sensitive issues throughout Europe such as immigration and become patriotic traders to make a political career. This will not happen and the numbers written about mass returns are irrelevant to reality. These tens of thousands coming to Greece have nothing to do with reality.” Asked whether Greece will ask for more financial support for the fence in Evros, Mr Marinakis said: “I do not know this but what the Prime Minister has said is valid in full. It goes ahead normally and the project will be fully implemented as the Prime Minister and all the members of the government have said.”
