PM Tsipras to face pressures on refugee issue

He will have a series of meetings with political leaders

Newsroom February 4 03:11

Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras will participate in the Supporting Syria and the Region conference in London and is expected to face pressures on refugee issue especially after the article published by German magazine Spiegel, which claims that the Greek government deliberately fails on handling efficiently the refugee flows, because it wants to push the immigrants to move to other EU countries.
