Austria’s interior minister on Tuesday sharply criticized recent statements by at least a couple of top Greek government officials who dangled an “idea” of issuing illegal migrants — ones having entered in Greece — with travel documents to travel to western Europe.

Johanna Mikl-Leitner, a member of the conservative Austrian People’s Party (OVP), which forms the coalition government in Vienna with the Social Democrats, warned “there are very clear rules in the European Union, and these migrants will be sent immediately back to Greece … afterwards we can raise the borders, which we will do”.

Quoted by the Austrian news agency APA, Mikl-Leitner didn’t mince her words:

“These are incomprehensible, inhumane slip-ups, which in reality no one takes seriously … it is about time that the new Greek leadership generate front-pages with solutions, rather than unreasonable threats.”
