Greece Implements Tougher Migration Policies Amid Crisis
Reading
Greece will have new rules for migrants soon. These rules will start this summer, according to a minister. The country will stop programs that helped many migrants become legal residents.
Migrants who are waiting to leave the country may go to jail. Those who do not get asylum may also be jailed. They could be in jail for at least two years before they leave.
Other countries in Europe are watching Greece. The European Union wants to send more people back in 2025. They also want the same rules for all countries in the EU.
Many people who are told to leave do not go. In Greece, this number is very high, said the minister. He wants the EU to make clearer rules for who can live there legally.
A program that let migrants become legal ended in March. The program allowed 40,000 migrants to legalize. Greece is a main entry point for migrants and gets help from the EU.
