The limitation of illegal immigration is a matter of survival for the peoples of Europe. However, such a measure requires political will, which unfortunately is lacking – resulting in Greece and other EU countries at risk of disappearing as nations from the face of the earth, without, unfortunately, their citizens realizing it, either because they are afraid to react or because they find themselves (some of the countries) in a state of shock from the bankruptcy they have been experiencing over the last ten years, with creditors seizing everything unhindered. Therefore, it is most likely that politicians will continue to bow their heads to the “Elites,” only concerned about themselves as they are not pressured by the people. Source: analyst.gr
Hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants are crowding the shores of North Africa to cross into Greece and Italy. European citizens are reacting; aversion to the flooding of their countries by illegal immigrants, mostly Muslims, is widespread in European society. Protests in Spain, England, Portugal, Ireland, Poland. The same is happening in Australia.
USA
Donald Trump demanded today that the “philanthropist” billionaire George Soros, who is targeted by ultra-conservatives and conspiracy theorists, and his son be brought to justice because, according to him, they supported violent protests across the country. The Hungary-born billionaire is accused by his critics of working to overthrow governments or orchestrate a migration crisis in Europe. The reason: the billions he paid through his organization in support of economic and justice reforms, minority and refugee rights, freedom of expression, and all aspects of Political Correctness.
Based on Soros’s published statements, any rationally thinking person reasonably concludes that a “Soros plan” for illegal migration to Europe does indeed exist, where Greece is now the main entry gateway. Furthermore, this plan converges with Turkey’s intentions regarding the violent colonization of Greece—while one wonders why the Greek government does not solve the problem, since a solution exists (article).
Australia
Thousands of people are protesting against immigrants – The center-left government condemned the protests, saying their purpose is to spread hate and that they are linked to neo-Nazis. Voria.gr
Spain
The Spanish police made arrests on Monday following three nights of clashes between far-right groups and immigrants from North Africa, and calls for an “immigrant hunt” in a town in southeastern Spain, while anti-immigrant protests continued yesterday, Tuesday.
Grate Britain
Anti-immigrant protests in Britain – Police used pepper spray against citizens. Eventful protests in Britain – 5 arrests and one police officer injured. Earlier today, Education Minister Bridget Phillipson insisted that the Home Office was right to argue that the rights of asylum seekers override those of the town’s residents.
Poland
Protests organized by the far-right Confederation party took place in Warsaw, Krakow, Poznan, Wroclaw, Bialystok, and other cities in Poland. The protesters demanded the closure of the borders with Lithuania, Ukraine, Belarus, and Slovakia to illegal migration. “Enough with the multi-year policy of ‘let them all in and who they are will be determined later,'” Krzysztof Bosak, one of the leaders of the Confederation, wrote on platform X. “Polish women and men have the right to worry about the level of security in their homeland,” he added.
Austria, Germany, Belgium, Portugal
The immigrants come smuggled, they will bring their families later. Austria banned family reunification for immigrants by law, wanting to protect the country from being overloaded with them. Its critics raised the objection that the plan is not compatible with European law. Thus, Austria is awaiting a court ruling regarding the ban on family reunification. Austria will not implement the controversial family reunification ban for immigrants until it is approved by the courts, Chancellor Christian Stocker told Euronews. Belgium decided to restrict the conditions of access for immigrants to family reunification. This revision of criteria is by no means an isolated case in Europe, as Portugal and Germany are adopting similar approaches.
Greece
Greece In July 2025, the Greek government, under Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, announced a temporary suspension—for three months—of the examination of asylum applications for those arriving by sea to Crete (and nearby islands) from North Africa Reuters/AP News. At the same time, the construction of detention centers and increased cooperation with Libyan authorities to push back migrants are being planned AP News.

Using humanitarian reasons as an excuse (Europeans, of course, are not human beings), invoking laws that they themselves drafted, and with suspicious NGOs, leftist organizations, and right-wing predators as their instruments, they react:
The reaction of the Commissioner for Human Rights (Council of Europe) Michael O’Flaherty, Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights, called on the Greek parliament to reject the legislative regulation in question. He pointed out that:
The suspension of the registration of asylum applications and immediate pushbacks without examination contradict Greece’s obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights, the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, and the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights Portal.
He stressed that such measures—such as detention or immediate deportation—are potential violations of both international and European rights Portal.
Other reactions and concerns
European Commission: The Commission spokesperson stated that they will carefully examine the legislation and emphasized that the Greek government must comply with European law. At the same time, they mentioned that the Commission stands ready to step up its support to Greece (The Brussels Times).
UNHCR (UN Refugee Agency): Expressed serious concern, underlining that the right to apply for asylum is a potential violation of both international and European rights Portal.
The Plenary of Bar Associations: Reacts to the new migration bill. The Plenary expressed strong reservations about the compatibility with International and Union Law of the provision for a three-month suspension of the submission of asylum applications by individuals entering the country illegally by any vessel originating from North Africa. The existing problems from increased migration flows and the need for measures to be taken by the State cannot lead to a regression from the achievements of the rule of law and the international legal obligations that govern the Rule of Law and bind the country as a member of the international community that has ratified international conventions.

Reactions of Greek Political Parties
SYRIZA: SYRIZA has stated its opposition regarding the management of the migration issue. It refers to the actions of the far-right Minister of Migration, Thanos Plevris, which once again bring Greece to international headlines with a negative tone. In a front-page article in the American newspaper Washington Post, titled “Athens’ Trumpian Turn on Migration,” the Amygdaleza detention center is described as the “Alcatraz of the Aegean.” At the same time, the wretched detention conditions of the migrants are highlighted, as well as the harsher legislation that the Mitsotakis government is preparing despite the reactions.
PASOK: “PASOK’s position is the immediate evaluation of the asylum application, the rejection, and the repatriation of migrants to their countries of origin. Let New Democracy, therefore, stop the dangerous communication games with an issue that concerns Crete and all of Greece.” As the president of PASOK noted, the Minister of Migration, Thanos Plevris, by mentioning that out of the 507 people who arrived in Lavrio, the overwhelming majority originates from Egypt, proved that they are migrants and not refugees.

KKE: It is often heard as an “argument” that nobody invited the immigrants to Greece, they came on their own, they are “invaders” and they must leave. This is a deliberate lie. The migration of labor force is a natural consequence under capitalism, since labor power is a commodity and uneven economic development objectively creates the tendency to attract cheap labor force to certain capitalist states for the needs of capitalist development. The ruling class, capital, and its governments, have pursued a policy of attracting immigrants to Greece over the last decades, while it bears responsibilities for the mass refugee influx due to Greece’s participation in the imperialist wars of NATO and the EU.

Greece representatives,
DENDIAS: “And also, I want to be clear on this, I understand the phobia that the migration issue creates in European societies. But my humble opinion is that especially for the populations that adopt from the very beginning a part of our own tradition and our own culture, the Greek state, the Greek democracy, must always have an open embrace.” Source “Amyna News”
BAKOYANNIS: Dora Bakoyannis, 6 years ago, had supported a plan by the UNHCR to de-Hellenize and Islamize our beautiful Homeland, which our ancestors liberated with blood and sacrifices, For Faith and Homeland. They would pay the rents for the stay of illegal immigrants in Greece. And the aforementioned “Lady” had come out to declare that she submitted a plan in which she proposes the distribution of the illegal immigrant invaders to our Greek villages which, she says, need jobs and also have schools for their children to go to (which children, by the way, as soon as they are born here “become” Greek citizens too)! If this happens, we will very soon see Greek villages with a purely Muslim population. Read the article at the Source, Orthodoxos Typos.
KONSTANTOPOULOU: “Asylum is the right of the persecuted, and discrimination constitutes a continuous crime. What Mr. Mitsotakis announced and is being set in motion is a nightmarish transition of Democracy into a racist regime, which will not examine asylum applications. These are practices that have been condemned in the international sphere.”
Thanos Plevris, among other things, replied to Mrs. Konstantopoulou: “Let us leave all this discussion of self-humanitarianism aside, and let us get to the substance, which is that the country must be protected.” Source thetoc.gr
The Referendum Governments Do Not Dare to Hold
Although European Union countries promote themselves as bastions of democratic institutions, reality challenges the very essence of the regime. Today, citizens are deprived of direct democracy tools to decisively influence the major issues of our time. It appears that popular sovereignty is drastically restricted whenever it conflicts with the choices and interests of political and economic elites.
A case in point is the reluctance of governments to appeal to the popular verdict through referendums on critical, identity-defining issues: from the management of illegal immigration and the imposition of the so-called “Woke agenda,” to the West’s stance regarding the expansion of Islam and Sharia law. Leaders avoid asking because they know that the majority disagrees with their policies. However, when the citizens’ voice is bypassed on the most crucial matters, the system ceases to function as a true Democracy.
The knowledge of yesterday guides today and points the way for tomorrow. Those who understand the historical and contemporary course of events, define their own future.
