Greece adopts stringent immigration policies, encompassing imprisonment and electronic monitoring.

In a significant move aimed at improving the country's immigration and asylum system, the Greek government has approved a new project. The initiative, spearheaded by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis' Conservative executive, is designed to strengthen state tools to combat irregular immigration and prevent abuses in the asylum system.

The project, which received an absolute majority approval on Tuesday, is focused on Greece's immigration and asylum system. It is intended to combat irregularities in the immigration and asylum process and facilitate the return of nationals from third countries, thereby improving the state's ability to manage immigration and asylum issues effectively.

The project also includes a provision for providing premium content access temporarily. However, due to an excess of users connected simultaneously, the system has closed the oldest session to allow for continued browsing without limits. Users are advised to try again in a few minutes.

The project is part of a wider effort to prevent abuses in the asylum system and improve the return process for nationals from third countries. It is expected to play a crucial role in Greece's ongoing efforts to manage its immigration and asylum system more efficiently and effectively.

While the details of the project are still emerging, it is clear that this is a significant step forward in Greece's efforts to strengthen its capabilities against unauthorized immigration and ensure a fair and efficient asylum process. With the project now approved, the focus will shift to its implementation and the impact it will have on the ground.
