Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, and Slovakia pledge to help Greece deal with border crisis

By Voice of Europe 4 March 2020

KASTANIES, Greece (AP) — Greek authorities fired tear gas and stun grenades Wednesday morning to repulse a push by migrants to cross its land border from Turkey, as pressure continued along its frontier after Turkey said its own border with Europe was open to whoever wanted to cross.
Meanwhile, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia pledged to help Greece to deal with pressure along its border.
Speaking after meeting his counterparts from the other three countries, Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis said the situation was serious and the EU must protect its borders.

“We’re ready to help,” Babis said.
Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said his country was ready to deploy guards at the Greek-Turkish border, while his Slovak counterpart Peter Pellegrini said the growing number of migrants “poses a security threat not just for Greece.”
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that there are some 130,000 migrants on the move that the EU has to stop on its borders, and that “Hungary will take an active role in doing so.”
The four countries have been known for their tough stance against migrants and rejected an EU plan to redistribute refugees in member states.
Meanwhile, European Council head Charles Michel was meeting with Erdogan in Ankara Wednesday, while EU Vice President Josep Borrell and Commissioner for Crisis Management Janez Lenarcic were holding talks with Turkish Vice President Fuat Oktay.
Speaking to reporters after a meeting with Erdogan, Borell said that the EU delegation asked Turkey “not to encourage the further movement of refugees and migrants toward the EU borders.”
“We had the opportunity to express our understanding of the difficult situation Turkey is currently facing but also stressed that the current developments at the European borders is not leading to any solution,” he said.
Borell also told reporters that Turkish officials’ response was that Turkey was not encouraging people to move but that “they cannot prevent people from doing so.”
Greek authorities said there were about 15,000 people along the Greek-Turkish land border on Wednesday. They said that between Saturday morning and Wednesday morning, they had blocked 27,832 attempts to cross the border, and had arrested a total of 220 people who managed to cross.
Ankara has come under harsh criticism from some European countries.
“The people are being used by President Erdogan as a political football, as weapons and as instruments of pressure on the European Union,” Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said Tuesday.

During a meeting between European Union interior ministers in Brussels last Wednesday, a declaration was approved that states the bloc’s external borders must – under any and all circumstances – be defended, About Hungary reports.
Hungary’s interior minister Sándor Pintér noted during the meeting that the embattled Greek government had called on the European Union for assistance as the situation at the Greek-Turkish border intensives. As the Turkish regime continues to send more and more military-aged migrants to the Greek-Turkish border, the situation is likely to only deteriorate further.

Pintér told members of the Hungarian press that the Hungarian government has offered to send 65 border guards down to the Greek-Turkish border within the framework of the operation currently being coordinated by the European Union’s border agency Frontex.

Pintér also noted that the EU interior ministers, during the meeting, had voted to provide an immediate financial aid package of 350 million euros to Greece and, if needed, an additional 350 million euro aid package.
Over the weekend, Voice of Europe reported that the European Commission – headed by the German globalist Ursula von der Leyen – is currently preparing to fork over 500 million more euros in aid to Ankara to help with so-called “Syrian refugees” to ease growing tensions with the increasingly belligerent and unhinged Turkish regime.
