With the caravans of refugees arriving daily by the thousands in Piraeus and many of them proceed to walk to the Idomeni, the heads of the police forces of Slovenia, Austria, MACEDONIA, Serbia, and Croatia agreed yesterday to shut down the border, restricting the flow of immigrants who can spend to about 580 people per day.
“Some things are good,” he said yesterday on Cbs, the minister for Shipping, Thodoris dritsas were acquired referring to how the management of the situation at the port of Piraeus in the last few days and predicted chaos in case you don’t persuade the refugees that the border is closed, there’s no point heading all the Idomeni.
Mr. dritsas were acquired even said that “it is in progress a number of initiatives and have been launched for the development of new areas for the temporary residence” in order to… avoid the “chaos”.
“If we are not able to find interim solutions so as not to concentrate a very large number of people in Diavata or in Eidomeni, then we really will have chaos. We don’t have a mess, need -so to speak operational – action buffer, which can be repressive. Are places of temporary residence”.
“These people are directed to go to the northern border. Need a process, we strive to make it as soon as, already the department of Migration Policy has issued a significant number of notices in several languages by those who speak these people and give them instructions. We tell them what’s going on, where the borders are closed, what possibilities there are, that doesn’t make any sense to go to the Idomeni, that the Greek authorities -either the Police or the Coast guard, or other Authorities – can help them and for feeding and for staying and for the instructions for the reality, and we are asking them to trust them,” he added.
The Achaia
Despite the fact that the minister of Immigration Policy, mr Μουζάλας and minister of Defence, Panos Kammenos leaked several days ago that “there is no question of creating a space for refugees close to a residential area”, the information bear on the Government to seek anxiously spaces and in the wider area (relatively) near the port of Patras.
One of the areas that seem to have been examined is the area of Drepano, where in the recent past (2008) had raised the question of the creation of the reception area, when Kurds and Afghans had invaded the port of Patras.
Government sources, on the occasion of the predictions concerning… house of mr. Dritsas, speak to a structure and in the area, which can accommodate more than 1,000 people in a regulated area.
The information reported that under consideration is the former factory of Αμιαντίτ in Drepano, which belongs to the National Bank and has been abandoned.
This is of course one of the thoughts that have been heard, after the temporary abandonment of the solutions also fall on the table (Arches and former MOMA in Souli) due to the proximity to the urban centres of Aigio and Patras.
However, according to sources in the Defence ministry, the hospitality of such a number of refugees in a certain area, requires a series of infrastructures and networks that are difficult to build there.
It should be noted, however, that it is most pressing and what is counted, and the possible reactions that might arise there, as in other areas that may be proposed.
Ignorance declares, however, for the calculations the Region of Western Greece.
