Paulos Marinakis: Unprecedented Events in Libya – All Scenarios Must Be Considered

The events that took place in Libya on Tuesday afternoon (8/7/25), where Haftar expelled representatives of the European Union, including Thanos Plervis, were commented on by government spokesperson Paulos Marinakis. Speaking to Action24, Marinakis described the situation in Libya as ‘unprecedented.’ He stated, ‘The margins have narrowed,’ emphasizing that Greece is considering stricter and more effective measures, which will be discussed at a meeting between Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Minister Thanos Plervis at Maximos Mansion on Wednesday morning (9/7/25). ‘All scenarios must be considered,’ Marinakis noted. He added that these actions reflect Haftar’s intentions and are a response to pressure aimed at curbing migration flows. Marinakis stressed that it is non-negotiable for Greece to either jail or deport illegal immigrants.
