KINAL supports islanders' strike over migration issue

Opposition Movement for Change (KINAL) on Wednesday announced its support for a general strike on the islands of Chios, Lesvos and Samos in protest against the handling of migration.

The party said that the government should stop hiding as "nobody has the right to sacrifice the islands, for any reason. An immediate, real and sustainable decongestion is as essential as ever. The support of health structures and of local administration is a self-evident obligation."

The party noted that there is no time to draw up supposedly long-term plans. "The islanders have had enough of fake promises and prevarication. The Movement for Change supports the democratic mobilisations on the islands," KINAL said.
