“Every day the streets are full of police” - Under Greece’s new right-leaning government, refugees and asylum seekers fear arrest and detention.
Since a new right-wing government took power in Greece earlier this summer, tensions have soared as authorities target and evict squats filled with refugees, migrants and activists in Athens and elsewhere.
The evictions have sparked concern among pro-refugee activists, who worry that the refugees and migrants will end up living in the already overcrowded camps and hot spots or on the streets. The uptick in efforts to evict the squats comes months after the right-wing New Democracy party took control of the governing coalition after ousting the left-wing Syriza party, which had been in power since first surging in elections in January 2015.Last week, during police raids in Exarchia, more than 140 foreign nationals were detained as four squats were evicted. Three of the squats were home to refugees and migrants.
Today, upwards of 50,000 refugees and migrants- many of them having fled war or economic catastrophe- remain within Greece’s borders, according to the International Rescue Committee. The move came as the number of boat arrivals to Lesbos experienced a sharp uptick in recent days, with hundreds arriving by sea.
