Alternate Migration Policy Minister Yiannis Mouzalas amswered to press questions on the individuals alleged to be involved in the terror attack in France and have passed through Greece.

“Two persons that have passed through Greece are totally identified by their fingerprints which shows that we are doing our job well. That is what EU has appointed us to do and, apparently, not by chance. Both individuals have passed through EU’s procedures. But, the fact that two or ten or twenty people passed from Greece does not mean that we link the refugees with terrorism. The other six are from Belgium and France. This means you shall ask me what we will do with the Belgians and the terrorism?” he said.

Mouzalas referred to the current problem in Idomeni during his visit to Idomeni refugees camp on the Greek- Fyrom border. “There is a problem” he said explaining “the problem started from Slovenia and continues as a domino. They have forbidden the entry to a part of refugees and migrants. I think that the prohibition to some people of specific nationality will continue. We have a plan to help these people to leave downwards” he said adding “we have a plan and in the following days the area will be decongested”.
