Greece to the EU: Come help stop migrant boats before they get here

Published Wed, 27 Nov 2024 09:35:06 GMT

Greece wants the EU to stop migrant boats before they even get to Europe. In an interview with POLITICO, newly appointed Greek Migration Minister Dimitris Kairidis called on the EU to resume an operation that aims to halt migrants before leaving Libya, a common departure point for asylum seekers coming to Europe.The appeal comes as the Greek government fights off allegations of negligence after a shipwreck killed hundreds of migrants heading for Europe from Libya. Survivors have claimed the Greek coast guard’s attempt to tow the vessel caused it to capsize, and various media accounts have shown the boat was stalled for hours before the coast guard intervened. “These tragedies will continue to happen unless we stop departures from Libya and other places on ships that are unseaworthy,” Kairidis said. “There will, unfortunately, be cases where it will simply be impossible to always save human life.”One solution to avoid other tragedies, Kairidis argued, is for the EU to resume “Op...

Yet another slow-moving system is in the forecast, looking to produce widespread showers and storms on Sunday. A flood watch is in effect for most of the area, with 2-4″ more rain expected for locations already saturated from rainfall this week.
