Anger on Kos rages against minister over deluge of migrants

Third World images rampant on well-known Aegean holiday isle

Anger against Alternate Migration Policy Minister Tasia Christodoulopoulou continued to simmer on Wednesday on the eastern Aegean holiday island of Kos, given the continuing Third World-like situation with thousands of migrants camped in public spaces on the isle.

In yet another salvo fired by the island’s authorities, Christodoulopoulou, an unelected Cabinet member long-known as an advocate for a “liberal migration” regime, is described as “irresponsible, non-existent and sham minister … she is the destructor of Kos”.

“She (Christodoulopoulou) created a public health bomb, cramming hundreds of migrants into an unsuitable and abandoned hotel. She left them without food, healthcare and without any of the basic security regulations being observed. She avoided assuming responsibility for managing the site because she knew and knows that this has criminal liability. She should know that she will not avoid them (liabilities),” the angry announcement read.

The municipality also warned against any ideas by the radical leftist government of creating on Kos an “unruly settlement that in 10 days will attract 10,000 illegal migrants and refugees.”
The announcement by the municipality also asks:

“How many illegal migrants and refugees can Kos, the Aegean islands and, primarily Greece, tolerate? Can the policy of unguarded sea borders continue? Should two million illegal migrants and refugees waiting on the opposite (Turkish) coasts come to our islands?”

Greece has been flooded with tens of thousands of mostly Middle Eastern and central Asia nationals since the beginning of the year, most declaring themselves refugees fleeing warfare in Syria, Iraq and, oftentimes, Afghanistan.

Theodorakis: We can’t manage all of the world’s migrants

Meanwhile, the leader of the centrist Potami party, Stavros Theodorakis, on Wednesday emphasized that while Greece has an obligation to shelter refugees, Europe also has rules that should be respected.

He spoke after a meeting with Greek President Prokopis Pavlopoulos, during which the problem of illegal migration was discussed.

“We have an obligation to take care of refugees who left their homes behind and are searching for a safe haven. It’s our obligation as Greeks and Europeans. However, we must clearly state that our country cannot handle all of the world’s migrants.”
