Following an increase in migrant arrivals on the island of Crete, the Greek government has announced stricter migration policies and the creation of new reception centers. The Migration Minister warned that much tougher measures would be implemented if the current trend continues.
Greek officials report that over 600 migrants arrived on the island in just one day, raising serious concerns about the strain on reception infrastructure. The government plans to speed up the processing of asylum applications and quickly deport those who do not qualify for international protection.
Greece is determined to avoid a repeat of the massive migration crisis seen in previous years, when hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers, including Afghans, entered Europe. A new migration route from the Libyan coast to Greece is becoming increasingly active.
