Thanos Plevris Appointed Migration Minister Amid EU Farm Fraud Fallout

Thanos Plevris, a politician with a history of controversial statements, has been appointed Greece's new migration minister following the resignation of five officials implicated in a €392 million EU farm subsidy fraud. This move has sparked public debate, with many questioning the implications for Greece's migration policies.
The scandal, involving fraudulent claims on EU agricultural funds, led to the departure of key figures, including former Migration Minister Makis Voridis. Plevris's appointment has drawn criticism due to his past remarks on border security, with opposition parties expressing concern over potential policy shifts.
In a twist of irony, the man now overseeing Greece's migration policies once suggested that border security 'cannot exist if there are no casualties,' leaving many to ponder the future direction of the ministry.
