What are the obstacles to the repatriation of refugees in Greece?

According to Greek media reports, the Greek Minister of Immigration and Asylum Panagiotis? Mitarakis said recently that Greece will make a request to the European Commission and the European Border Agency to comply with the EU? Turkey jointly announced that it would immediately repatriate 65,438+0,442 refugees in Greece who did not meet the international protection conditions. If this plan is not blocked, it should be the largest repatriation of refugees in Greek history. However, according to the current situation in Greece, it is definitely difficult to implement this refugee repatriation operation.

202 1 1 14, Greek Minister of Immigration and Asylum Panagiotis? Mitarakis said that the rapid screening of refugees to be repatriated in COVID-19 is nearing completion to ensure their safe return to China, and urged Turkey to actively accept the repatriated refugees.

Since the influx of refugees into Greece, Italy, Germany and other European countries, it has had an impact on the country's social order, economy, employment, social class differentiation, medical conditions gap and other social problems. It is difficult for Greece to repatriate refugees on a large scale now. It is said that since March 10, 2020, Turkey refused to accept the repatriated immigrants on the pretext of preventing and controlling the COVID-19 epidemic. It seems unlikely that Turkey will cooperate with the repatriation of refugees from Greece. It may give birth to new social contradictions and aggravate the conflict between local residents and immigrants. All these will leave many hidden dangers for the future, and may even cause more serious problems.

Moreover, the repatriation of refugees involves the refugees' own wishes, acceptance and resettlement after repatriation. Many refugees have lived in Greece for many years and are unwilling to leave, and Turkey is not very active in helping refugees arrange follow-up resettlement and employment. Therefore, on the one hand, it is unlikely that refugees will agree to repatriation, and on the other hand, Turkey is unwilling to cooperate with the repatriation and reception of refugees. Moreover, the situation in northwest Syria is changeable, refugees are unwilling to go back, and Turkey's ability and willingness to resettle refugees are not high.
