🔴 UN warns about new massive wave of 'refugees' from Sudan
>https://archive.is/o14jQ

🔸 After the conflict in Sudan became worse, the UN estimates that around 100 000 people fled to neighboring countries and over 330 000 were displaced within Sudan, warning for a growing number of "refugees" and also complaining that only 14% of a refugee program in Sudan has been funded

/GBG/
🟢 Reform to 'refugee laws' should be made immediately, people who move to a whole different continent or cross several countries without applying for asylum in all of those should not even be allowed to apply

🟢 The EU has zero responsibility or duty to finance programs in Africa or anywhere other than Europe itself, its absurd that Europeans accept their already corrupt and incompetent governments to simply send money abroad to fix the whole planet while Europe suffers. Europeans should not accept this

🟢 Immigration rates are already the highest since 2016 👉link to post here👈

🔴 Greek authorities "rescued" 39 illegal immigrants stranded in an island in the middle of the Evros river
>https://archive.is/bQVzT

🔸 The 39 illegals were located after an NGO warned Greek authorities that the group was stranded after trying to cross the Evros river from Turkey into Greece, the Greek authorities later located them and performed the rescue

‼️ 13 men, 11 women and 15 so called "minors" of unknown ages and nationalities were "rescued", more specific data regarding their ages and nationalities have not been made public and probably wont

🔸 According with them, they were transported by a smuggler. An inflatable boat was used and they were left in the islet while the smuggler left. Since the authorities confirmed that the islet was on the Greek side of the border, they rescued the group

🔸 The two Presidents met last week and discussed that increasing cooperation is necessary in all sectors, although emphasizing the Energy, Security and Defense sectors

🇫🇷 "I know, dear Nico, your commitment to this cause, your will to find a sustainable solution and you can count on France's undivided support on this issue both diplomatically and militarily, as always in the past when we had threats of escalation in the Eastern Mediterranean in a military context"

‼️ The agreement for permanent French Military presence in Cyprus was also discussed once again even though it wont be finalized for now due to the tensions created by Turkey

🔸 Cooperation in the defense sector is limited to joint exercises, while the agreement for a permanent presence of France in Cyprus would see the use of the naval base in Mari, near Limassol

>https://archive.is/tdwvl

🔸 A new video of immigrant smugglers has surfaced. They promise to take the illegal immigrants to Athens for 4500 Euros per person and an additional 1200 Euros for a fake passport which would be needed to travel from Athens to another European country

‼️ The smuggler shows in the video a large sum of money which is from his smuggling operations as well as how people are transported by boat and car

👮🏻‍♂️ The Greek border guard stated that they have seen an increase in vehicles transporting illegal immigrants, some of them with 14 people being transported at once in every possible compartment

🔴 Italy arrested 29 immigrant smugglers part of a gang that smuggled them from Turkey to Italy, many times going through Greece
>https://archive.is/T5ReX

🔸 29 people were arrested in Italy with cooperation with INTERPOL, they were part of a big immigration smuggling gang which was also very active in money laundering operations

‼️ According with information, the gang charged illegal immigrants 10.000 Euros per person and the transport was carried out through sailboats

🔸 The anti-mafia prosecution of Catanzaro, in Calabria, took over the coordination of the investigation and those arrested by INTERPOL in other countries will also face trial in Italy

/GBG/
🟢 Meanwhile French politicians are saying Italy's approach to illegal immigration is wrong, inhumane and ineffective, all that while Paris burns every night

🔴 U.S Foreign Affairs Committee chairman: "Greece deserves F-35s, Turkey doesn't"
>https://archive.is/2JSoR

🔸 The Republican congressman, Michael McCall, confirmed that he has signed the order to allow Greece to buy F-35 jets, while stating that Turkey does not deserve them, calling Erdogan a dictator

🟢 "why would you (Turkey) want to buy military equipment from Russia? Why did you buy the S-400? I sign off on all foreign defense sales. Why did you (Turkey) buy the Russian S-400s? And at the same time they (Turkey) want us to sell them the F-35s. We cannot do it because through the S-400, technology of the F-35 will be transferred. It's (S-400) still 'in the box' they (Turkey) tell us. I replied, send the box to Ukraine and then we will talk. This is of course a lie. They (S-400) are not inside the box and everyone knows it. And that's why I signed the sale of F-35s to Greece, because Greece deserves them."

⚠️‼️ IMPORTANT ‼️⚠️

In the May 21 elections ND(New Democracy, Νέα Δημοκρατία), under PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis, wrote history. A landslide victory was achieved, falling just short of an outright majority (151 seats, ND won 146).

Kyriakos Mitsotakis has stated that he would push for a snap election, since Greece needs a government that believes in reforms, and this cannot happen with a fragile government. New Democracy has the approval of the citizens to govern independently and strongly.

The results as follow:
40.79% ND (146 seats), right wing
20.06% SYRIZA (71 seats), leftists
11.50% PASOK (41 seats), centre-left
7.21% KKE (26 seats), communists
4.45% GREEK SOLUTION (16 seats) right wing populists
OTHER PARTIES 15.98%

🔴 Docking of U.S destroyer in Limassol, Cyprus, angered Turkey once again
>https://archive.is/1Bp9E

🔸 The U.S Navy's destroyer, USS Arleigh Burke, docked in Limassol last week

‼️ The Turkish Foreign Ministry issued an statement saying the docking is "destabilizing" and harms the U.S' neutral position in the current situation, Turkey also repeated that such actions compromise the reaching of a 'solution' for the settling of the illegal Turkish occupation of Cyprus

🔸 U.S Navy responded as follows: "Cyprus is an important regional partner. Enhancing cooperation during the Limassol port visit builds enduring relationships and demonstrates a common commitment to ensuring maritime security and regional stability shared by regional allies and partners"

🔴 New MODVS OPERANDI of smuggling gangs in Evros, "induced rescue", 37 illegals "rescued" in islet again
>https://archive.is/Wx0O3

🔸 It seems as if smugglers have been changing their strategies, on the Turkish coast, some smugglers leave boats adrift in areas where cargo ships headed to Europe are sure to pass in order to "rescue" the stranded immigrants and take them to Europe without the intervention of Coast Guards or FRONTEX

‼️ The new strategy for land border crossings is leaving them stranded on islets in the middle of the Evros river that are on Greek territory and alert Greek authorities to "rescue" them

🔸👉 This time, 37 illegals were 'rescued', 17 men, 8 women and 12 "minors" (usually adult men pose as minors as well), their location was reported to Greek authorities anonymously through the emergency number "112" and it has been confirmed a smuggler took them to the islet and left them there

🔴 Charlie Hebdo made another cover with Erdogan ahead of the elections

🔸 The cover says "Only fate will help us get rid of him", with Erdogan getting electrocuted while holding a lamp which is his party's symbol

🔸 Some Turkish officials called the magazine "worships evil and is drowning in their own hatred and mischief" (Mevlut Cavusoglu, Turkish Foreign Minister) while others said it is "immoral and inhuman sketch" (Fahrettin Altun, communications director of the Turkish presidency)

🔸 Despite SYRIZA's win in Rodopi, Eleni Laftsi, a party executive made public statements claiming the Turkish consulate in the region interfered in the Greek elections, calling it "brutal" as well as "crude and shameful intervention" since the consulate has influence over part of the muslim community in the region

🔸 The MP elected by Rodopi is Ferhat Ozkur, seen by her as a political puppet of Turkey

🔴 The Greek government has appointed a new Immigration and Asylum minister that seems to be worse than the previous one
>https://archive.is/j9loc

🔸 The new Greek Minister of Immigration and Asylum, Daniel Esdras, former head of the UN's International Organization for Migration (IOM)

‼️ In 2022 the former Minister of Immigration and Asylum, Notis Mitarakis, awarded the Special Envoy/Regional Advisor for the Mediterranean to the IOM-UN for Migration, Daniel Esdras, with a Commemoration of Migration Assistance A' class

⚠️ Click HERE for a previous post of Notis Mitarakis caught with a hot mic laughing and telling Ylva Johansson that he only told Greeks that he would make "closed immigration camps" (with entry-exist controls) to avoid "major incidents" (major protests from Greeks)

🔴 Notis Mitarakis highly compliments Daniel Esdras as he passes on the job of Immigration Minister and talked about his "achivements"
>https://archive.is/UI4me

🔸 Mitarakis called Daniel a "experienced immigration expert with a brilliant career at the International Organization for Migration"

🔸 Mitarakis cited data, which for the most part does not correspond to reality:
Greece is not an "entry gate" for immigration anymore since only 5% of illegal immigrants who reach the EU do so through Greece when in 2015 it was 75%.
He also claimed that he upgraded the camps to "offer decent living and security to both immigrants and local communities"
‼️ "We protected unaccompanied minors, abolished unacceptable detention in police stations"
Claimed the number of camps and illegal immigrants was reduced greatly

👉 Immigration in 2022 was the highest since 2016 (post about it here)
👉 Immigration in 2023 in Greece soared 278% from 2022 (post about it here)
