🔴 Greek Defense Minister announces Greece will buy F-35 jets
>https://archive.is/ih9g7
🔸 The minister said the full details are yet to be made public, but that Greece will receive the first F-35 in 2028 once building the necessary facilities and the complex process of acquiring the aircraft take time
🔸 The U.S has also asked one more time (as the EU did before) that Greece send its S-300 to Ukraine, to which the minister refused, saying that Greece can not afford weakening its defenses and that the reasons for having the S-300 are still present

/GBG/🟢 This incident has the potential to kickstart another big immigration law reform in the EU. The EU might try to punish Italy for not allowing NGOs to ferry all the illegal immigrants they want into Italy

🔴 Ursula von der Leyen calls for more EU asylum efforts
>https://archive.is/TzICe
🔸 After the shipwreck that killed nearly 60 illegal immigrants at the Italian coast, in the region of Calabria, Southern Italy (Previous post on it here)
🔸 Ursula von der Leyen called for more efforts to be made to fulfill the EU's Pact on Migration and Asylum in the Central Mediterranean, which in other words means Italy since no other Eastern Mediterranean countries receive illegal immigrants by sea as Italy
‼️ Italy has been sparking criticism from the EU once Georgia Meloni, Italy's Prime Minister, has been trying to find ways to prevent NGOs from smuggling illegal immigrants directly from Africa to Italy, leading to several public speeches of France's Macron openly criticizing her for it and her spectacular responses which expose France's misdeeds and hypocrisy

‼️ Forensic Experts say trains should not be running on the line at all, according to them safety measures were not operational since 2004 since there was no electronic surveillance systems at any point of the line
◼️‼️◼️ 56 people are injured, some in critical condition, most of them being students. 37 bodies still need to be identified and 17 bags with body parts are also undergoing identification. Many people are still missing
🔸 The accident could have been much worse as the trains could have collided inside a nearby tunnel
