Greece is paralyzed as thousands of refugees and immigrants continue arriving and FYROM’s borders are essentially closed since yesterday authorities of the neighboring country allowed only 300 people to pass through.

On Sunday morning, more than 3,500 people arrived at Piraeus port, while authorities are thinking of opening the Baseball Centre at Elliniko and transfer them there. However, as Alternate Minister for Migration Yannis Mouzalas said, the baseball center is not in a good condition and cannot be used.

At least 6,000 people are stuck in Idomeni asking to open the borders so as to continue their journey to Europe. The refugees formed a human chain in front of the borders demanding to enter FYROM and shouting: “Open borders”.

According to information, shortly after 16:00 authorities of FYROM opened the buffer zone between Greece and FYROM allowing only 300 refugees from Iraq and Syria to enter. And on top of that FYROM authorities sent back to Greece 10 immigrants from Afghanistan and Pakistan.
