Vasilis Kikilas launched a fierce attack on the “Hardygiats of Europe” and “so -called humanists who are convenient in their chalets”, on the occasion of the criticism of Greece in the management of refugee/migration.

“To date, data shows a 17% decrease in migrant flows compared to 2024. I must, however, say that a 134% increase is recorded In arrivals from the Libyan Sea to Gavdos, Crete, Kasos, Rhodes, etc., due to destabilization in Sudan and civil strife in Libya and surrounding areas. Unfortunately, 1/3 of the flows is now south, in an open, deep sea. ” The Minister of Maritime and Island Policy said in an interview with the Open.

About his work Coast Guard In preserving borders and in the rescue of human lives, as well as the role of the EU and some NGOs for migration, he stressed: “Men and Women of the Coast Guard really accept fire for 1,000 euros paid by a young officer. But they accept another kind of “fire”, than these cartridge Sleeping the Law Sleep in Brussels and consider that we are “walking in the park” when we keep Europe’s maritime borders, which are Greek, and that it is a toy when the port comes out with 7 and 8 and 9 beaufort risking their lives, to save them. So I say once again, let’s gather … and again message to the NGOs, those involved in strange files and to their supposedly humanist They are comfortable in their chalets, north of Switzerland, Austria and Germany, and so on, to gather and gather what they say about our country, our port and the superhuman effort made by the Security Forces and the Armed Forces. We will not accept anyone to shake our finger When their policies have failed miserably, when farmers are politically “holding” them for primary production, they are all chased by small and medium -sized entrepreneurship, when there is no growth in Europe in relation to the pace that China and America is running and are not capable of separating two donkeys and help.

Concerning the retention of prices on the ferry tickets achieved after government intervention, to reduce port fees by 50%, The minister said that after the agreement with Emmanuel Grimaldi, the last part of the puzzle entered and stressed that “In terms of high speeds, I believe that in the coming days, shipowners and companies will make announcements that will be reduced to reductions and financial discount packages for the Greek family, to support the middle class and the many. Those who have an obligation to support and help them. ”

And added: “I don’t act on my own. Prime Minister is Kyriakos Mitsotakis. Vice -President, responsible for the finances, is Kostis Hatzidakis. It found a way, through the equivalent of the Green Fund, to give the 50% of the port fees. This is a real policy for the people and the vast majority, which is small family businesses, the middle class, the people who are the backbone of the Greek economy. And I will continue to say that we do not serve the three, four or forty -four big businessmen who, if you will, are investing abroad, multinational companies. And these, yes, but mainly the majority of Greek society, those people who struggle and walked with us step by step. “
