The Greek government has introduced a controversial new migration bill that proposes significantly harsher penalties for members of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) involved in migration aid. The proposed legislation seeks to impose stricter regulations on NGOs, limiting their involvement in assisting migrants and refugees. Critics argue that the bill could hinder the work of humanitarian groups and exacerbate the challenges faced by migrants. Supporters of the bill claim it is necessary to combat irregular migration and improve the efficiency of asylum procedures.
