⚠️‼️ IMPORTANT ‼️⚠️

🔴 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)

🟢 Things will most likely get worse from now on in regards to immigration

🔴 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)

🇹🇷🗳📹🇸🇪🇹🇷 Gulenist Activist, Abdullah Bozkurt on twitter:
— "In his victory speech, Turkey's President Erdogan likens his election win to the conquest of Constantinople in 1453*, says a gateway to the next century which he claims Turks will own has just opened."


🔗 Abdullah Bozkurt (@abdbozkurt)

* - May 29, 1453 was the day when Ottoman Forces led by Sultan Mehmed II invaded and conquered Constantinople from the Eastern Roman Empire/Byzantine Empire An ironic coincidence, so to say, that the Victory of Neo-Ottomanists like Erdogan happens just 1 day before that date

⚠️‼️ IMPORTANT ‼️⚠️

🔴 5 Greek Border Guards from Evros arrested for cooperating with immigrant smugglers
>https://archive.is/VlITs
>https://archive.is/Xq2UQ

🔸 They were 1 non-constable and 4 chief guards who worked at the Didymoteicho Border Guard Department, some with over 20 years of experience

‼️ 3 of them have worked in the EYP (National Intelligence Service)

🔸 They actively helped 12 groups of illegal immigrants to enter Greece with an unknown total number of illegal immigrants. Telling the gangs when and where to cross as well as divert colleagues to other areas so that the groups could go further inland and avoid patrols

‼️ They were constantly in contact with 4 smugglers from Turkey

👮🏻‍♂️👉 Were seized: 26,550 euros, 59 phones, 12 power banks, 2,120 US dollars, 850 Turkish Lira

‼️ Smugglers usually approach guards with "tips" that lead to arrests of rival gangs and after that, the bribing starts, some rings approach the guards through social media

🚨⚠️ REMINDER ⚠️🚨

🔴 Erdogan - 2017: "Europeans across the world will not be able to walk the streets safely if they keep up their current attitude towards Turkey"
Original article 👉 https://archive.is/R0xWg

‼️ The threat was made after Turkish officials in Europe were prevented from campaigning to expatriate Turks about constitutional changes proposed by Erdogan that would limit civil rights and lead to persecution of his opposition which it did

🔸 Turkish media and officials compared that to a Nazi/Fascist regime run by Merkel (German chancellor at the time) and such comparisons (not the threats) made the German government react strongly and caused a strain in relations

‼️ Merkel had made a statement asking Turkey to cease the aggressive rhetoric

🔴 Another group of immigrants "rescued" from Greek islets in the Evros river as smugglers' "forced-rescue" strategy is proven effective
>https://archive.is/YAk8k
>https://archive.is/KYc27

🔸 The new strategy of immigrant smugglers has been working and becoming more frequent, they have been dropping illegal immigrants in islets in the middle of the Evros river which are on the Greek side of the border. This time FRONTEX, Greek Border Guards and Paramedics participated in the forced rescue

‼️ This time 91 illegal immigrants have been 'rescued', 32 adult men, 25 adult women and 34 "minors", information that had been previously relayed to Greek Authorities through NGOs
