The bill was spoken by the Deputy Minister of Immigration and Asylum, Sevi Voloudakis in the morning of ERT in late May at the end of May at the end of May.

The draft law “will tighten all the rules concerning illegal immigration and define returns. That is, all asylum applications will be examined faster and strictly. And from now on, there have been some legal terms and legal gaps so far, which we close with the new plan. “

Ms Voloudakis explained that there will be a reservation for those who do not return: “There will be a reservation, but it will be stricter and will not be able to go out of the place they are held. Will be normal in closed detention centers. There are such spaces. It will just concern these people. This is which will change to the stricter. It’s not that new spaces will need to be made. ” He also said that one of the reasons is – among other things – and the deterrent because others – and especially the circuits of traffickers – will know that they will not have the luck they think they will have in our country.

At the same time, he noted that since 2019 our country has been implementing a strict but fair immigration policy. “And this is recently seen in both the EU and the meetings the prime minister himself is with with his counterparts or the Minister of Immigration, Mr Voridis, that the model we have followed as Greece wants and are trying to follow the other EU countries. We say that whoever has no. He must return either to the country from which he entered our country or to the country from which he comes from, “the Deputy Minister of Migration said.

“Returns are being made now. The framework will simply be tightened and further bilateral agreements will be made with countries of origin. For example, many immigrants from Egypt come to us. In discussions on the Egyptian side, they accept to get back nationals who have entered the country illegally, “he added.

Very increased flows to Crete

For migratory flows, he pointed out that we are at a very good level nationwide, except for Crete where flows have increased by 60% compared to last year.

“We are on a very good level nationwide. We have reductions in flows, from Evros almost zero after the fence that took place there and much less flows than the Aegean. Where there is a problem is the flows that come to Crete from Gavdos. That is to say, Gavdos has passed on the circuits of the traffickers as a point and is facilitated by the fact that these people come from the Eastern Libyan region, where things are not so stable, ”he explained.

Asked about the Karoni finding, Mrs Voloudakis replied that “PASOK has chosen to bet behind the navigation of freedom and to adopt various conspiracy theories. Indeed, the PASOK leader himself did not hesitate to declare that he does not trust justice, “adding that” we now see all these conspiracy theories collapse “and tool the tragic accident for political benefit.

“We are not afraid of justice. Justice will judge who is guilty and who is not. Now PASOK has even chosen for this, before seeing the case file, saying it is a felony, “the Deputy Minister of Immigration and Asylum said.
