In the rapid harmonization of EU countries with the new framework for the migratory Athens is looking forward to. The Greek government appears satisfied both from the prospect of boosting external borders and adopting a new model for returns for those who are not asylum. The prime minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakishad already been placed since last October in favor of a rigorous for returns for immigrants who are not entitled to international protection. About yesterday at the EU Summit, he underlined: “I would like to express my satisfaction with the fact that the proposed return regulation is drawn up with the fixed Greek positions, which prioritize not only the external guarding of the EU border but also to the rapid process of returning those who have not received asylum in EU country. So, we look forward, with great eagerness, I would say, the new list of safe countries of origin so that our country can move faster in this direction and the clear directive I have given to the new leadership of the Ministry of Immigration is just moving to the logic that no one has to come into our country. And it is very important to have European regulatory tools that will make it easier for us to implement this policy. “

EU policy It moves in the direction of forming an effective return policy that will allow acceleration of procedures and an increase in the number of those returning to countries of origin. Athens has already given, through the new Minister of Migration and Asylum, Maki Voridisa first example of writing its will to implement such a strategy. As Mr Voridis announced, the provision for the extension of a new type of residence permits to immigrants is withdrawing.

And at the center of the philosophy of the new framework is to create harmonized rules for returns, as the highly -based environment is considered to be a very weak overall context, resulting in a very weak overall context, resulting in Only 20% of immigrants who do not have the right to stay in the EU. to return to countries of origin. European diplomatic sources estimate that Greece is not excluded that Greece will be faced with increased return of immigrants who are not entitled to protection and are in other EU countries. But having entered Europe from our country. It is one of the reasons why Athens is interested in rapid completion of the preparation and the start of the new framework for the new framework effectively.

Of course, the tightening of immigration policy is an issue that also concerns the government’s internal agenda. This is a topic that is high on issues that concern a more conservative audience and it is clear that the message of a more rigorous policy is also aimed at satisfying this audience and consequently to halt voters to the parties on the right of ND.
