In response to a public complaint received from a governor of a public hospital in Chios about members of NGOs who entered a clinic for “guiding a family of migrants, with the possible aim of shaping a narrative for asylum applications or complaints against the Coast Guard (push backs, etc.)”, Adonis Georgiades said on Thursday morning.

As the Health Minister says, the HHS has also been informed about the incident.

“Order and legality are non-negotiable. We will not allow foreign interests to endanger our country and its unshakable decision to guard our borders,” Adonis Georgiades concludes in his post.

Today, I received a serious complaint from the Governor of a public hospital structure in Chios.

Members of NGOs showed up uninvited at a Surgical Clinic, despite an explicit refusal to provide any “assistance”.
In fact, they falsely told the staff that they had consulted with the administration.

Even more serious: the alleged “interpreters” were not interpreting, but – according to the Administration’s assessment – were guiding a family of immigrants, with the possible aim of shaping a narrative for asylum applications or even complaints against the Coast Guard (push backs, etc.).

The people involved were immediately removed, and the incident was reported to the NIS.

Rules apply in public hospitals.
Health is not a field of ideological or political exploitation.
The state will not tolerate shadow interference.

Order and legality are non-negotiable.
We will not allow foreign interests to jeopardize our Homeland and its unwavering resolve to guard our borders
