🔴 Hotel owner arrested in Rhodes after police raided the hotel and found 45 illegals
>

🔸 The hotel owner was arrested and is being accused of being part of an immigrant smuggling operation

🔸 44 illegal immigrants of "Syrian and Palestinian" origins were found being housed in his hotel during a police raid. The immigrants claim another foreign man lived in the hotel and collected 15 Euros every day from the illegals but he managed to flee before the authorities got there

🔸The immigrants claim to have entered Greece by boat, met a foreign man in a pre-arranged location and he took them to the hotel in question

‼️ The hotelier's wife was arrested but released on bail, no further information about the ages or genders of the immigrants has been released, their nationalities have also not been confirmed as most illegals claim to be Syrian or Palestinian since they dont have documents and can apply for asylum easily that way

🔴 Sweden to take new measures against mass immigration
>https://archive.is/8wd8Y

🔸 Sweden's reform to their immigration laws proposes an end to permanent residency to "refugees" in a way to stop incentivizing others to move there since Sweden is one of the countries that per capita more than most other countries

‼️ "They should return home if conditions in their country have changed and they no longer need protection [...] Currently, around two out of three migrants in Europe do not need protection" - says Swedish Immigration Minister Maria Malmer Stenegrad to the French Newspaper Le Figaro

/GBG/

🟢 Ending permanent residency for immigrants or "refugees" is a measure that should be discussed and adopted by more EU countries, hopefully with Sweden as an example a few others will follow

🟢 Sweden also says it wants to focus more on "integration" now, its not to curb immigration

>https://archive.is/dYt33

🔸 Italian Minister of Agriculture and Nutrition, Francesco Lollobrigida, one of Meloni's closest allies and her brother-in-law sparked outrage in the EU this Tuesday

🔸 "We have to think about Italy the day after tomorrow. For these reasons, the demographic should be encouraged. Welfare must be built so that everyone can work and raise a family. We cannot surrender to the idea of ​​ethnic replacement: Italians have fewer children, so... let's replace them with others. This is not the way to solve the problem" said Francesco at the national conference of the Italian Confederation of Autonomous Workers' Unions (Cisal)

🔸 The whole Italian government is being accused by the opposition of "stoking anti-immigrant sentiment in Italy"

/GBG/

🟢 The discussion of such topics should be encouraged across Europe, Italy breaking the narrative might be instrumental for a big change of mentality in Europe

🔸 There are approximately 150 Greeks among the 1,000 European citizens in Sudan

🔸 The conflict in Sudan has killed over 185 people and left over 1800 injured amid airstrikes and fighting

👉 “From the first moment, on April 15, the Greek Foreign Ministry recommended to Greeks not to travel to Sudan, but also to the Greeks there to restrict their movements and this is what we are saying now: They should stay home. The Greeks there are not a target, but they are in the midst of conflict"

🔴 US State Department approves sale of parts for Turkish F-16s
>https://archive.is/4KMex

🔸 The U.S State Department claimed that such sale 'does not change military balance in region'

🔸 It is noted that this notice concerns an earlier request for the purchase of defense equipment (worth $260 million), which is not at all related to the request to upgrade modernization kits and purchase new fighters (worth $20 billion), this one being mostly for general safety maintenance
