Crete

Greek Prime Minister announced emergency measures in response to a recent surge in migrant arrivals on the island of Crete. More than 2,000 migrants have arrived since the weekend, pushing the total for the year to over 10,000, according to coast guard figures. The government has suspended asylum claims for those arriving illegally by sea and stated that such individuals will be arrested and detained. Officials emphasized that the passage to Greece is now closed, aiming to deter both traffickers and migrants. These measures follow diplomatic discussions involving the European Union and Libya.

Greece blocks asylum claims after surge in migrant arrivals

Greece's Prime Minister told Parliament that his government was responding to an emergency situation with emergency measures. More than 2,000 migrants have landed on Greece's Mediterranean island of Crete since the weekend, according to Coast Guard figures, bringing the total number of arrivals this year to over 10,000. So those migrants who enter the country illegally will be arrested and detained. The suspension will apply to migrants reaching the island of Crete by sea. Let us all be clear, the government is sending a message of determination. The passage to Greece is closed and this is a message to both the traffickers and their potential clients. The money which they are spending potentially will be totally lost because it's going to be much more difficult than it was before for someone to be able to get to Greece by sea. Wednesday's measures came after a diplomatic spurt involving the European Union with Libya, in which eastern government authorities deported EU ministers and a commissioner.
