Long seen as the entry point into the European Union for migrants and refugees, Greece is dealing with a sharp rise in racism
On November 1, a boat carrying 40 refugees and migrants neared the shores of Leros, an island in the Aegean Sea, Mayor Michalis Kolias led a mob of locals that prevented them from disembarking on Greek shores.
The RVRN called on authorities to better educate local communities about the transfer of refugees and migrants to their communities, urging the government to establish a national council dedicated to combating xenophobia and racism. Contacted by TRT World, the Greek government’s migration spokesperson did not reply to requests for a comment.
During the rally, organisers provided attendees with a bottomless supply of grilled pork, beer and wine, which they described as a “unique and new protest” against refugees. Nearly 15,000 people currently live in Moria, the notorious camp on Lesbos Island, although that facility was built to accommodate less than 3,000 occupants.
