Leader of major Greek opposition party, Kyriakos Mitsotakis blasted Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban over his stance on closed borders in the EU during the European Parliament ALDE alliance group’s meeting in Brussels. According to sources, Mistotakis confronted the Hungarian PM, who spearheads the move by the Visegrad states (Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic and Slovakia) for closed borders to the movement of refugees across Europe, when Orban welcomed the decision for the sealing off of the borders. Mistotakis responded immediately saying ‘How dare you say such thing when it has led to a humanitarian crisis in my country and to the shame of Europe’. Addressing his colleagues, Mitsotakis said 50 thousand refugees were trapped in Greece, many of whom under squalid conditions at idomeni. He added that his party, New Democracy supported the imminent EU-Turkey agreement on the refugee crisis, arguing it was the last measure to disrupt refugee flows to the EU. Commenting on the relationship between the EU and Turkey he stressed it was a positive development, adding however that it should not affect any concessions on EU principles.
