Citizen Protection Minister Michalis Chrysochoidis has admitted the
government has done "absolutely nothing" to contain the surge of undocumented
migrants living in Athens.
"We have done absolutely nothing – I want to be very clear," Chrysochoidis
told Mega television on Wednesday, referring to the immigration problem and a
surge in HIV/Aids cases.
"Not only has absolutely nothing been done, but in Omonia Square, out of
the 100 drug users there, 35 are HIV positive. For God's sake, is there anyone
who believes we can continue this way?"
The minister defended his decision to impose draconian public health
inspections and set up 30
migrant detention centres, mostly out of disused army facilities.
