Greece refuses to allow refugees out
(MENAFN) Greek government ministers said the borders to any other country will not reopen, in response to sit-in protests organized by hundreds of refugees and migrants in Athens and northern Greece.
Around 500 people have camped since Thursday afternoon outside the refugee reception facility of Diavata community, at the outskirts of Thessaloniki port city and about 60 kilometers from the Idomeni border crossing into North Macedonia.
Protesters demanded the reopening of the border to continue their way to central Europe.
Over 200 migrants and refugees started on Friday a sit-in protest on the tracks of the central railway station of Athens, demanding to be permitted to travel to northern Greece to also reach the borders.
