DIAVATA, Greece: New tensions erupted on Saturday outside a migrant camp in northern Greece between migrants and Greek police who prevented them from advancing towards the border with North Macedonia.
On Friday, the migrants - among them families with small children - had tried to break the police cordon and security forces used tear gas and stun grenades. They had bought tickets to Thessaloniki, intending to also travel to the Diavata camp but authorities stopped the train."People exhorted by fake news were misled because of their hope. They want to pass the border so they believed in the fake news", Greece's migration minister Dimitris Vitsas said on Saturday.
More than 70,000 refugees and migrants are believed to be living in Greece as a result of mass influx since 2015, fuelled mainly by the Syrian civil war.
