“The incredible tragedy of Pylos shocks all of Europe. Unfortunately, all indications point to that we are facing one of the biggest refugee and immigration tragedies of recent years. It is difficult to find the words to express the pain of so many lives lost so unjustly.” points out the press office of SYRIZA in its announcement on the occasion of the many dead shipwreck of migrants in Pylos.

“The wreck of Pylos came in the most dramatic way to remind us that the refugee and immigration issue cannot be dealt with easily, shouting and demagoguery. There are no simple solutions to one of the most complex international issues.

But it also reminds us of something else, more important. Immigrants and refugees are not numbers in statistics. They are people who need respect, they are lives that count like all other lives. That is why we must do everything in our power at national and European level to avoid another such tragedy. We must not let our humanity sink.

By decision of the president of SYRIZA – Progressive Alliance, Alexis Tsipras, today’s pre-election events of the party are suspended.” ends up.
