Speaking to Paralapolitika 90.1 FM, Mr. Theodorikakos noted that “this happens every day and especially every night on the Greek-Turkish border on the Evros River on our border, which is also the border of Europe and the entire Western world with Turkey. We have a strong Greek police force which, together with the Greek army, is responsible for guarding the borders. If we did not have this force, hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants would pour into Greece. This is reality. Since the beginning of the year, 150,000 people have not entered the country illegally.”

At the same time, Mr. Theodorikakos stressed that Turkey is using immigration, using the gendarmerie to transport immigrants to the banks of Evros.

Minister for the Protection of Citizens on occasion thanks to the public organization “HumanRights360” for a misjudgment of the Evros island case, he attacked SYRIZA, emphasizing that he expected an apology.

“This story with 38 immigrants was used to spread outright lies. So now that the NGO has apologized, rather admitting its mistake, SYRIZA drank the silent water. I don’t see them opening their mouths and talking. I am waiting for Mr. Tsipras until Sunday afternoon when he will hold a press conference to apologize for the blatant lies he told about this particular incident,” he said at the beginning, and then added: “For serious allegations against the government, as well as against the Greek police, the Greek army and our critics in Evros, who guard the borders of the homeland. I am waiting for a journalist on Sunday to ask him, to allow the journalist to ask Mr. Tsipras this question.”

Mr. Theodorikakos then addressed the subject of the University Institutional Protection Teams (UPPI), emphasizing that their goal is to protect constitutional freedoms and put an end to delinquency and crime.
