The management of the refugee crisis by Europe has been disappointing, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said on Wednesday in his address to Parliament, during a debate on draft bill to reform public administration.
“Some don’t realize that the common rules either apply to all or they don’t exist,” he said, adding, “Also, agreements are either implemented by all or they don’t exist. It’s shameful for the decisions taken by the EU heads of state to be annulled by some sub-gatherings,” he said, noting Greece will demand that its partners “act responsibly.”
“We will not allow Greece to become a warehouse of souls,” he said.
He also announced that he will ask for a political leaders’ council meeting before the EU-Turkey summit on March 7, to form a consensus on which Greece will request the obligatory implementation of relocation and resettlement of refugees from member-states.
