Plevris: Voluntary departures of illegal immigrants increased by 25% after the “jail or return” doctrine

The Minister of Immigration and Asylum said that from 2019 to date, illegal flows have been reduced to 197,651 people, when in the period 2015 - 2019 they had shot up to 1,215,280

Plevris: If increasing migration flows become the norm, we will take tougher measures

"We will not allow what happened in 2015 to happen, when migrants were being sunbathed, the country has borders and they are guarded", the Immigration Minister stressed - From June 12, the New Migration Pact will be fully implemented

Plevris: I am not optimistic that this summer we will have the reductions in migration flows we have in the Eastern Aegean

The problem, this summer, is expected to be the migratory flows from Libya and the flows that may occur to Crete - What is expected to be their management

What is changing in migration policy: A brake on asylum with strict screening, detention & return hubs in third countries

The bill that provides for sweeping changes to asylum and the return of those who will not be granted it will be submitted to Parliament within the month - Fast-track procedures and strict deadlines for issuing final decisions
