After clashes which started when Macedonian (FYROM) police and soldiers stopped refugees from crossing the Greek/Macedonian (FYROM) border on Sunday, some of the mainstream media are blaming activists who support refugees in Idomeni for inciting refugee protests.
It seems that some of the media don’t believe that refugees are people like you and me, and capable of making their own decisions. In the last 2 days Greek anti-terror units have detained an estimated 45 people (29 today) from several European countries in Idomeni, many of them volunteers from the “Aid Delivery Mission”. The “Aid Delivery Mission” cooks thousands of warm meals each day for refugees who are still stuck in Idomeni.
Not only the Greek government, but also the European Union (EU), are embarrassed because activists and volunteers from all over Europe are doing work that they should be doing – supplying refugees with basic needs like food, sanitary products, and medical help.
