“Anyone who attempts to prevent a third -country citizen from entering the country legally will be followed by the procedure of lawsuit, arrest and subsequent criminal treatment under the anti -racist law,” said Citizen Protection Minister Michalis Chrysochidis, in the Night, Cruise ship in Syros.

More specifically, as Mr Chrysochoidis said, in this case the prosecution had to intervene and had prosecuted against protesters who did not allow cruise ship tourists to land in the port of Syros. “Where such incidents will be re -emerged,” he said, noting that there was consultation with the Minister of Maritime and Island Policy Vasilis Kikilia and under the government’s coordination and “from now on, the police are in the game,” he added.

“In our democratic state we have a constitution and citizens have the right to demonstrate. In the case of Gaza – for a half years now – we had 522 rallies, marches, demonstrations, protests that started from the Constitution or the Constitution of Music and ending up in front of the Israeli embassy in Greece. This is the right of everyone to do so and is in the context of our democratic process …. to do so, but from one point onwards, when it turns into attacks on third -country nationals or Greek citizens for reasons of discrimination, then in this case they are indeed racist and racist attacks. That is, who are the ones who go in front of the port and represent the “guards” and in a racist manner, invite the citizens who want to visit the country, not to visit it? What is it;” wondered.

“It is a complete implementation of the anti -racist law and in this particular case the prosecutor’s office had to prosecute them, arrest and prosecute them. Where the corresponding incident will become an anti -racist law, and where such a phenomenon will be re -arrested, “the minister concluded.
