Αντώνης Σαμαράς και ο φράχτης του αίσχους

The author argues that the border fence at the Evros river, praised by Prime Minister Antonis Samaras, has not stopped migration but merely shifted flows toward the sea, leading to increased arrivals on Greek islands and more deaths at sea. The text frames this as part of a wider European trend where leaders in the UK, France, and Germany adopt right-wing rhetoric to counter populist parties, which the author claims ultimately strengthens the far-right.

• Prime Minister Antonis Samaras claims the border fence at the Evros river has been highly effective in deterring irregular migrants and argues that it must remain in place.
• The author asserts that the Evros fence shifted migration routes to the sea, contributing to a 400% increase in arrivals at the islands and an overall national increase of 82% in 2014, with over 11,000 migrants arriving in Lesbos alone.
• The document identifies a trend of European leaders adopting right-wing agendas to combat populism, citing David Cameron's response to Nigel Farage in the UK, pressure from Marine Le Pen's party in France, and Angela Merkel's conservative policies in Germany.
