[01] Greece is doing a great job on refugee issue, Lord Alfred Dubs
tells ANA
Greece is in a very difficult financial situation but it is working
hard on the refugee issue, Lord Alfred Dubs said in an interview with
the Athens-Macedonian News Agency (ANA).
"You are doing a great job, but I think that you need more help,"
he underlined.
Alfred Dubs visited Thessaloniki, northern Greece, to see the living
conditions of unaccompanied children - refugees in our country. "Initially
we focused on Calais because of the situation there, and the fact that
it was closer to Britain. But now, Britain will be getting some of the
unaccompanied children in Greece," he said.
He stressed that this country should "strengthen its support not only
to children refugees, but all refugees" and other countries should do
the same adding that "Europe did not show the necessary solidarity on
the refugee issue."
