“Greek
deputy Citizen Protection Minister Yiannis Panousis reacted strongly
to a police document that circulated on Tuesday regarding 'new policy
on migrant detention procedures.' The document, as GreekReporter
website writes, states that illegal immigrants arrested in the Greek
borders will not be detained but will be given renewable permits to
stay in Greece.”
“The
deputy minister called an emergency press conference where he stated
that the document is withdrawn. He said that such documents should
bear the minister's signature but instead the particular document was
signed by a police higher-up who has no authority signing such
documents, especially without notifying the minister. He also called
for an immediate investigation and asked for the resignation of those
responsible for composing and circulating the document.”
“Panousis
said the document was the work of provocateurs and spoke of a 'jungle
of misinformation' that should be eliminated. He also said it is
suspicious that the former prime minister and head of the opposition
Antonis Samaras made statements and reacted so quickly in condemning
the alleged change in immigration policy.”
