Greek Islands Stage Protest Against Migrant Pressure

Residents of three Greek islands protested Wednesday against the overcrowding of refugee camps and demanded government action to ease migrant pressure. Most stores were closed and public services were halted on the islands of Lesbos, Chios, and Samos, where some refugee camps have more than 10 times the number of people they were built for. VOA's Zlatica Hoke reports Greek protesters want a closure of the ports of entry as well as more equal distribution of migrants throughout the country.

The only true solution is to return them as soon as they show up. Anything else just encourages the next wave & it will never cease.

The greek government takes 47billions euros from eu(2020 december summit) in order to put the refugees in a boat without a moto and leave them to die in the middle of the sea, the greek government is so cruel. i cann’t understand how the world doesn’t react anything against these madeness.
