Die griechischen Behörden antworteten auf Anfrage der Frankfurter Rundschau, man habe sicherstellen müssen, dass die Reporter „nicht an der Überstellung der Migranten aus der Türkei“ beteiligt gewesen seien.

Statt dessen setzt die Madrider Regierung auf provisorische Zeltlager auf Gran Canaria, in denen insgesamt rund 6.000 Menschen Platz finden sollen. Zudem wurden bereits mehr als 5.000 Geflüchtete in Hotels untergebracht. read more
