Greek major opposition New Democracy (ND) spokesperson George Koumoutsakos blasted the Greek coalition SYRIZA-ANEL government on the refugee crisis. In a statement called on the Greek government to transfer the refugees and immigrants from the Idomeni camp to organised reception facilities. He accused the Greek government that their incompetence made Greece look like a third world country. He also criticised the government over its economic policies, which he claimed coupled with the increasing refugee crisis was leading the country downhill.
