Conservative State Minister Makis Voridis called on US President Donald Trump to visit Greece and see how the country “successfully” deals with illegal migration.
The minister’s call comes a few hours after Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis rushed to adopt Trump’s “two gender” policy. The PM who permitted same-sex marriage and adopted a National Strategy on Equality said also on Wednesday “there are two genders, male and female as dictated by biology.”
“Mr. Trump come to Greece to learn what we do to deal with illegal immigration,” with the aim of “seeing how technically this can be implemented. We have built the fence [in Evros] in [north-eastern] Greece, we have built active deterrence, we have built the bilateral policies for deportations,” Voridis said in an interview with Action24 TV.
The Minister with a far-right political past blames the American Democrats for the migration problem in US.
In addition, Voridis said that Trump’s (anti) woke agenda is “logical.” One should recall that he was one of the few Mitsotakis’ ministers who voted against the same-sex marriage last year.
Speaking to Parapolitika 90.1 FM, and making a comparison with Greece, minister Voridis that, apparently in contrast to the Democrats, PM Mitsotakis listens to the problems of the society and fights for their solution.
“The experience with the first Trump administration was not negative for our country,” the minister stressed and spoke of “warm and strategic” relations between Greece and the US.
Apparently forgetting that Greece is a member of the European Union, Voridis appeared reassuring about Trump’s threats to Europe.
“The policy of trade agreements, it is said, is aimed at increasing trade from energy sources, that is, lifting tariffs in exchange for energy supplies from the US,” the minister said.
With so much presence in the media on a single day, the New Democracy minister most likely missed did not listen to Trump’s threat against Europe and increasing tariffs on Wednesday, when he said that “Europe does not treat us right.”
The Greeks love licking a**es just to get money from a racist like Trump! I’m ashamed to be greek!!!!
Never mind that the Greek state is before the European courts for flagrant violations of EU and international law on asylum migration incidents in Greece — on Mitsotakis’s watch, if not personal instructions. Never mind that Greece is potentially liable to be referred to the International Criminal Court for its abuses of migrants’ human rights, and the deaths of many. No, no: the Greek mismanagement of migration is a great success story!
When I hear the name Voridis, I struggle not to vomit. (Apologies to any humans unlucky enough to carry the same name.)
