🟢 Greeks are denied the right to organize religious processions while Muslims are allowed to celebrate Asura with self flagellation and gather in public squares while Greek priests get 1,500 Euro fines for allowing people (2) without masks entering the church and staying there

🟢 According to locals, the situation has been like this for almost a decade, with the governor labeling anyone who protests against the problem as "far-right" and also claimed the Square was empty when people reported that large numbers of illegal immigrants were living in tents at the Square, denying that there were many immigrants in the area or the square in general

In response (Part 1/2) to @actualiteFR's post about the Greek wall at the Greek-Turkish border of Evros, the reality is that yes, the wall is a rather expensive project, it also counts with observation posts with Night Vision and Thermal cameras capable of seeing several kilometers into Turkey, theoretically the project is good, the problem is it's size

The wall itself is very small compared to the size of the border and was put in an area where crossings were more frequent, but it has in no way halted immigrants from crossing the Evros river and entering Greece. Sometimes smugglers and immigrants also have help from the Turkish border patrol units that have been recorded many times pointing at the general direction of possible crossings or even taking them to those areas

The new trend for example is smugglers taking immigrants from Turkey into Bulgaria and then crossing into Greece since the border itself at those points used to have less obstacles and guards (something also being changed but not with a wall). Some regions of the Greek border are hard to navigate, some regions are mountainous while other areas have dense forests, making it easy for groups of illegals to hide even after having Crossed into Greek territory, that is not to mention that some NGO's provide assistance to illegal immigrants regarding where they should go to avoid the Greek Authorities and where is the closest immigrant camp where they could claim asylum without being arrested

‼️ It is also important to note that during the Evros border crisis of March 2020 when Turkey deliberately sent illegal immigrants to the border by Bus, Taxis and Ferries, many companies and civilian groups have donated materials to the Greek Government, be that several Kilometers of barbed wire to the very thermal imaging cameras being used to look for illegal immigrants crossing the border (some groups also donated boats among other things to the Greek Coast Guard)

Patrolling the maritime borders of Greece is a whole different challenge on itself. The Greek territory is comprised of Mainland Greece and up to 6000 islands (depending on the landmass parameter use to define what an island is), 277 of them being inhabited, making the challenge of guarding coastal areas enormous and it is made even worse by the fact that the EU, UN, NGOs and others usually make a lot of noise if Greece actually tries to block boats carrying illegal immigrants from entering its waters (usually coming from the Turkish coast)

The cost of such structures seems to be reasonable once the EU has funded the building of new camps and expansion of several existing ones (the latest contract one being of over 140 Million Euros for camps in several islands), being the cost of feeding and maintaining of such illegals up to the Greek Taxpayers, with the Greek government holding tenders valued at 823 Million Euros to feed "refugees" for a period of 48 months with the possibility of unilateral cost increase by the service provider if deemed necessary

In response (Part 2/2) to @actualiteFR's post about the Greek wall at the Greek-Turkish border of Evros

Walls are effective, but Greece is also tied to EU bureaucracy and double measures where NGOs are allowed to work with smugglers and assist illegals so that they can both cross the borders and also hide from authorities, many such NGO's are currently being investigated and its members arrested for espionage after they have been caught several times recording the movements of the Greek Navy and Coast Guard so that they could time their operations

Germany for example, has sent their Federal Police to Greek airports to prevent illegal immigrants from boarding planes to Germany where they request Asylum sometimes using fake documents to get there. To which Germany also created a program to pay for the living of "refugees" in Greece so that they dont go to Germany, going as far as proposing to send some of them who already had received Asylum in Greece back to Greece as seen in this post regarding their "integration program" and subsequent links

The Greek government is also to blame, with the Greek immigration minister being caught on tape with Ylva Johansson laughing about when he said he said the new camps or expanded camps would be closed structures to appease the public when in reality the EU itself said the camps cant be closed structures, showing that the Greek government isn't quite anti-immigration as it pretends to be and does the bidding of the EU in detriment of their own country

🔴 30 year-old police chief of Eretria, Greek island of Evia, found dead inside his own car, the body presented a gunshot wound, his service weapon was also near him

🔸 According to reports, the officer was considered very competent and a good person by his colleagues, "One of the best officers in Evia and one of the young officers who stood out". The car where the body was found happened to be very close to the police station

🔸 All possibilities are being considered, including suicide, although the fact that the officer had married recently and had a 2 month-old baby make many doubt the suicide theory

🇩🇪 400,000 Immigrants per year asks German labor office.
Ironic, While German government’s own statistics show that a majority of migrants already in the country are not entering the job market.

🇳🇴 Norway has reported that many of its migrants may never be self-sufficient, with only half working despite the country spending over €6 billion on workforce integration.
