No effort to beautify the condition in Mytilene was made, Alt.Min Mouzalas says
"There was no effort to beautify the situation in Mytilene for Tsipras-Faymann's visit," Alternate Migration Policy Minister Yiannis Mouzalas said in an interview with VIMA FM on Wednesday.
"Such an effort was not made. I have all the details of the Chancellor's visit. 8,000 (people) left from Mytilene on Sunday and Monday. Last Sunday and Monday left 7,000 from Mytilene. This is something common ...."
"What we are trying to do is to provide assistance to the place on an issue that it cannot bear any more," he continued.
He also stressed that the problem is a European one and noted that "you cannot stop them, you cannot sink their boats. I do not think that anyone suggests that. You are also legally obliged to open the road for them ... The Greek Coast Guard is our pride as it has saved 72,000 refugees."
