Greece proposes suspension of asylum in cases of mass migratory flows
The Greek government has submitted an official request to the European Union, asking that member states be given the ability to temporarily suspend the processing of asylum applications. This measure concerns exclusively periods during which mass migratory flows towards European borders are observed.
According to Greece's proposal, the goal is better border management in emergency situations. The Greek authorities argue that the current volume of applications creates significant pressure on reception infrastructure and asylum procedures, making the adoption of more flexible rules at the EU level necessary.
The issue of migration remains one of the most critical topics for the European Union, with frontline states, such as Greece, frequently calling for more solidarity and practical solutions. The discussion on revising the European asylum framework is already at the center of negotiations in Brussels.
This proposal is expected to be examined by the relevant European bodies, as EU countries attempt to find a common stance regarding migration challenges. The Greek side emphasizes that the security of Europe's external borders is a priority and requires decisive measures to address crises.
