/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

🔴 Cyprus' new president, Nikos Christodoulidis, directed a few words regarding how his government will be
>https://archive.is/O4VFA
🔸 The new Cypriot president made simple but interesting points in his confirmation speech as he also appointed his ministers
🔸 The president said his government will follow the lines of the previous government and that he will not admit in any moment an excuse of "we received scorched earth"
🔸 He also told his ministers that they better resign before he has to ask them to in case things get to that point
‼️ Needless to say, Christodoulidis is pro-unification of Cyprus and has an overall similar agenda to the previous government

🔴 Ancient cemetery with more than 1000 graves discovered in Northen Greece
>https://archive.is/FGhzm
🔸 The graveyard is one of the largest in Northern Greece, located on the coast of Agios Ioannis in Sithonia
🔸 A total of 1044 graves of various types were found, dating between the 10th to 5th century BC, discovered when contractors began excavating an area to build a hotel
🔸 The burials include amphorae, cists, pit latrines and a sarcophagus, most of the tombs were nearly intact
‼️ Many valuable objects were found: earthenware vessels in the shape of a beetle and a crater, cauldrons, skyphoses, amphorae and nipples, figurines, bronze and iron ornaments that accompanied the dead
‼️ Despite three excavation sites, Lambrotanasis explains, it remains unknown to which ancient settlement the cemetery belonged. The first estimates probably refer to a settlement on the island of Kastri, where, in 1977, research revealed the remains of prehistoric and archaic structures
