Christina Alexopoulou argued that migrant flows have decreased, controls have been tightened, and Greece is no longer an easy transit route.

Christina Alexopoulou: The rules favor Greek citizens

The view that immigration is a constantly changing and dynamic issue was expressed by New Democracy MP in Achaea, Christina Alexopoulou, speaking on OPEN’s “Tora Mazi” program.

Ms. Alexopoulou emphasized that the current situation bears no resemblance to the 2019, noting that migrant flows are now significantly lower compared to previous years.

At the same time, he noted that people who are not entitled to remain in the country are not left unchecked, pointing out that the rules that are enforced are in favor of Greek citizens.

“No illegal immigrant can roam freely in our country at the expense of Greek citizens,” he stated emphatically.

The New Democracy MP also argued that Greece is no longer considered an easy transit country for illegal migrants, as was the case in the past.

As he noted, while the prevailing attitude used to be “come on, let’s get them through Greece,” today the picture has changed, with the message being that “things have gotten difficult there.”
